Radloff Nine Lodge

Radloff Nine Lodge is located in Klerksdorp, a quaint old mining town, close to the commercial nerve center, in the North West Province of South Africa. Whether travelling for business or leisure, the Lodge is equipped and dedicated to give guests great value. Ten years of professional experience assures guests of efficient service, good quality and tasty wholesome meals. Klerksdorp is the centre for a large mining and agricultural economy and boasts the second largest grain co-operative in the world. Attractions include Goudkoppie (the old mining shafts dating back to the 18th century), Klerksdorp Mines, Ou Dorp Hiking Trail. Tyhen there is the Railway Station and Old Flag Room which was opened by President Paul Kruger when the line from Krugersdorp reached the town in 1897, now Klerksdorp's first national monument. Klerksdorp, also known as Matlosana, the city of people, or Klerksdorp-Matlosana lies on the N12 about 200 kilometres south west of Johannesburg. Klerksdorps streets are today lined with historic buildings and sites that bear testament, not only to these brave frontier families who crossed the Vaal River to settle here, but also to the gold rush, which brought thousands of prospectors to the rural settlement.

Klerksdorp is surrounded by loveliness, despite the fact that it today thrives both on mining and agriculture. The Faan Meintjies Nature Reserve is just 13 kilometres outside of the city and well worth a visit. Ideal is to take the ou dorps (old town) hiking trail that wends its way through the old part of town, taking in all of the sites of historical reference, including Jack Scott House - an original tin house imported all the way from Britain, although it`s been allowed to degenerate somewhat. And there`s an original distillery that makes an appealing visit too.
