caves What’s on in Jozi

A very special place to visit when in Jozi is the Sterkfontein Caves in the nearby Cradle of Humankind. The caves, closed to the public in 2022 for infrastructural improvements after heavy flooding, reopened in April 2025. And how extraordinary it is to have one of the most productive and significant paleoanthropological sites in the world right on our doorstep – a third of all early hominin fossils ever discovered have been found in these caves.

What Our Guests Say

Liz, the hostess, was wonderful and accommodating. The rooms are cozy, with all the amenities of home. The additional heating services (warm water bottle, heater, electric blanket) were fantastic. Breakfast is also available, with a choice of alternatives.Liz at Lancaster was fabulous. The room was clean and had absolutely everything we needed for the night we were there. It was particularly nice to have a perfect cup of tea with fresh milk and a delicious homemade rusk in the morningWhat a lovely place to stay. My grandson and I had the most amazing 5 night stay there. Beautiful and fully equipped self catering unit and gorgeous garden and pool. Made to feel so at home and had a very special stay. Will be back for sure!After a few stressful weeks this was the perfect place for me to unwind and to find myself again! Luxury accommodation with everything you could wish for provided! I even had a private patio to sit and enjoy the sun! Loved my stay with Liz
