“Nestled within a 7000-hectare game reserve, Cradle Boutique Hotel distinguishes itself with tented accommodations separate from the main building and private viewing decks in each room; the outdoor dining space invites lingering over the Highveld views. I think it's a fitting choice for those drawn to both serene landscapes and archaeological intrigue, given its location in the Cradle of Humankind. A great base for exploring the area, especially if you are interested in the guided safaris and fossil exploration tours.”
