Dusk
to Dawn is a spacious country house in the most southern tip of Mpumalanga
- the place of the rising sun.
Johann and Gudrun Engelbrecht
have turned their family home into a friendly and welcoming half-way stop
for tourists and visitors en route on the N2 from the Kruger National Park
or Gauteng to the Kwa-Zulu Natal North Coast or vice versa. The Engelbrechts
are fifth generation descendants of German Missionaries who settled in
this area in 1870 and German is still spoken at home.
Dusk to Dawn has been
a Finalist in the AA Accommodation Awards for several years and was the
Winner in the Farm Accommodation Category for the year 2001, 2003, 2005
and 2007, and also features the AA Superior Grading Endorsement.
Furthermore Dusk to
Dawn is a regular feature in the Portfolio Bed and Breakfast Collection.
We have been awarded the Tourism Grading Council 4 star award. |

A full English and Continental
breakfast is served in the beautiful dining room or on the verandah with
a stunning view onto the large garden and the wide open spaces of this
well managed 1800 ha farm.
Dinners are available on request by prior
arrangement.
Farm fresh produce is used to create dishes
with love and care which makes dining at Dusk to Dawn an unforgettable
experience. |
| Dusk to Dawn dinners have earned
a reputation where good quality ingredients get the respect they deserve
by turning them into fabulous meals.
