Lodge in Magaliesburg
â Confusing as it might sound, Magaliesburg inhabitants call the village ‘Magalies’ and the Magaliesburg river and Magaliesburg mountains ‘the Magalies’. Hence the designation âMagalies Meanderâ instead of âMagaliesburg Meanderâ. Wandering is the best way to approach a daytrip to the Magalies Meander. The hills furnish a scenic backdrop that mitigates against making swift time on the R24 from Magaliesburg to Rustenburg or the R560 from Magaliesburg to Hartebeespoort. It is better by far to carry a copy of the Magalies Meander map from the local SPAR or your lodge in Magaliesburg venue and ramble along the tourism routes just experiencing what is on offer. Various local homes have been converted into quality assured guesthouses for those wishing to know the Meander. In 2010 the village became internationally established for accommodating the Portuguese soccer team in one of its upmarket hotels during the FIFA 2010 world Cup. Tourists wandering through Magaliesburg and the Magaliesberg will encounter plenty to see and to do in Magaliesburg.
