Alto Log Cabin is located on the dolomite riffs of the Kromdraai area in the Cradle of Humankind. PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR 7 km TWO TRACK DIRT ROAD IS MOST SUITABLE FOR SUVS, SMALL SUVS AND BAKKIES. This charming wooden cabin comprises 2 bedrooms, 1 with double bed and the other with 2 single beds as well as a bathroom with a shower over bath, basin, and toilet. There is also a well-equipped kitchen with 2-plate stove with mini-oven, fridge-freezer, crockery and cutlery. The open-plan living area comprises a lounge and dining area. Leading out from the living area is a wooden deck with a gas braai and an outdoor patio set, all boast breathtaking views of the Cradle and Magalies mountains. For nature lovers, there is also the opportunity for horseriding and walking or mountain biking trails. In the evenings guests can enjoy stargazing and if lucky, hear a lion roar. Alto Log Cabin is close to attractions such as the Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve, Maropeng, Sterkfontein Caves and more. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT ONLY HIGH GROUND CLEARANCE VEHICLES TRAVEL ON THIS ROAD.
