Lindani Lodges lies in the Waterberg, between Vaalwater and Melkrivier, a mere 285km from Johannesburg. This 3 000ha farm makes for the ideal weekend and holiday destination for visitors from Gauteng and other regions.
Owners Sam and Peggy van Coller purchased four properties called Klipheuwel, Koperfontein, Boikhotsong and Klipplaat in 1994, and these now form Lindani Lodges. The first guests were received in 1998. Some of the lodges were old buildings that were renovated, some were newly built to welcome guests.
Lindani means ‘stay a while'. Sam's vision was to make the farm available to the public and provide stability in the area by creating jobs. Like most successful businesses, this enterprise started small and grew over time.
Lindani Lodges has a history of employing families and developing staff, and a low staff turnover testifies to the trusting bond that has developed between employers and employees.
