Conference Centre

On the business front of things at Finfoot Lake Reserve, our conference room and facilities are ideal for groups looking for an event or workshop venue. Our management team has experience hosting large groups of up to 60 people including catering and accommodation. The lodge’s proximity to Johannesburg means it is easily accessible for corporate groups seeking a quiet breakaway outside the city.

Swimming Pool

The best feature about our outdoor pool area is that it is close enough to the bar. While our bartenders mix up your cocktail of choice, head out to find your new favourite spot on one of our sun loungers while you enjoy the surrounding views of the South African bush. Our private self-catering villas also boast their own medium-sized outdoor pools.

Games Area

Something for the kids (and the adults too), the games room at Finfoot Lake Reserve is equipped with a number of indoor games and activities. Sink the black with a few games of pool or how about a round of chess?

Outdoor Boma / Dining

The fire pit in our outdoor boma is the ideal spot for pre-dinner drinks or afternoon teas. If you are visiting us during the colder months, nothing beats sitting near the blazing fire to warm up. It’s a great spot for a round of socialising, as you share your favourite memories of your day with the other guests.

Located near Johannesburg (only 90 minutes’ drive), that much-needed slice of peace and quiet is within easy reach for travellers seeking to escape the urban jungle. This lodge is naturally crafted from wood and thatch, perfectly complementing the surrounding woodlands and foliage.
Finfoot Lake Reserve offers various accommodation options: comfortable chalets, stylish self-catering villas and luxury tents located close to the Vaalkop Dam, ideal for families and groups of friends celebrating a special occasion. The large thatched lapa serves as the main hub at Finfoot Lake Reserve. This open-sided, breezy building is home to the camp’s bar and cosy lounge areas where most meals are served. Descend a few steps out on to the sun deck, where there’s plenty of seating to sit back and soak up the view. The swimming pool is a popular spot for those looking to put their feet up with a cocktail or two.
Bring your bike, go for a paddle on the lake, try a bush walk or game drive, delight in a sunset barge cruise, or how about taking on the Segway safari if you’re up for a bit of fun?

Flittering, stalking, and swooping through our 3,500-hectare wilderness wonderland is some 312 indigenous species. Among them, everything from Violet-eared Waxbills, African hawk-eagles, and Wahlberg’s eagles to the ever-charismatic Secretary bird… and that’s only just the start.

Known as our bird whisperer, or within the local community as ‘Sarel from Finfoot’, he has over 23 years of guiding experience under his belt, with over eight years at our reserve. He knows the environment intimately and his guided bird walks and tours are a highlight to any visit. Sarel also has a keen interest in photography and would love to help you refine your skills with the lens.
