Welcome to the private mountain hideaway. Mount Serene is situated on the slopes of the Magaliesberg Mountains, about 30km from the town of Magaliesburg,on the R24; less than 100km from Johannesburg or Pretoria.
The accommodation units at Mount Serene are very well separated to ensure absolute privacy of guests at all times. Accommodation at Mount Serene consists of a family unit (The Coach) and Stone Cottage.
The family unit is built into a 1937 wooden railway carriage which has been renovated to accommodate a group of up to 8 people. It has 3 bedrooms, one with a double bed, one with 2 single beds and one with 2 bunk beds. There is a lounge, dining room, kitchen and modern bathroom, all well equipped for a comfortable, relaxing getaway.
Patios on both sides of the carriage ensure there is always a choice of sun or shade, as well as spectacular views and great sunsets. The private pool is for the use of the carriage guests only. All crockery, cutlery, bedding and towels are provided. Yes! Even the railway coach has a log fireplace in the lounge
The honeymoon cottage is made of solid stone from the Magaliesberg mountains, and built to accommodate a couple only. It comprises a bedroom with queen size bed, en suite bathroom with a 2 seater bathtub and double shower over the bath, plus a kitchen, dining room and lounge. A sliding door leads to a patio with private splash pool, braai and stunning view of the Magaliesberg cliffs, towering 350m higher than the cottage. This is the ultimate in privacy. If you wish to see anyone else during your stay here you will have to go out and look for them. All crockery, cutlery, bedding and towels are provided.
Whether you choose to relax at the pool side at Mount Serene, walk to the mountain plateau, explore iron-age ruins, hike to the top of the Magaliesberg moutains or identify some of the 300 species of birds found in the area, you are guaranteed a peaceful break from the city life.
There are many recreational and sporting facilities close by, including game drives, horse riding, trout fishing, golf, tennis, quadbiking, magalies meande and hot air ballooning to name but a few!

The perfect getaway for a recharge. The place is gorgeous and as per the name Serene, which is exactly what we needed.
Very neat and comfortable chalet. We enjoyed the tranquil and peacefull atmosphere. We can definitely recommend it to visitors who enjoys nature.
Nice cottage. Everything needed was inside. Not very quiet, workers made a lot of noise.
Our stay was nice. Glenda was the perfect hostess. The cottage was neat and all the necessary supplies for self catering were there ..
The shower needs some attention as the water temperature didn't stay constant while showering..
We will definitely go back..
We had a great time at Mount Serene. Peacefull and quite, just what we both needed. No rush or excessive noise. We felt welcome and at home. I would recommend this resort to anybody who need rest.

I stayed in town, enjoyed the warmth of the people. The municipality though should upgrade the roads.
It is one of the best places to stay for a long weekend, not forgetting friendly staff.
The town itself and the people were friendly.
Letsatsing Lodge is the best. Excellent food, excellent service and the rooms are so nice.
The views and smooth roads.
Well, we only went to Sun City.
