COME INSIDE

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. 

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, 2007 and 2008, 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.
