Nestled on the tranquil plains just 10 km from Fochville in Gauteng, Losberg Lodge offers a refreshing escape from city life, perfect for visitors from surrounding areas such as Potchefstroom, Carletonville, Parys and beyond.

Location & Setting Set on a private farm (Renosterfontein Plaas) near the town of Fochville, Losberg Lodge is ideally positioned for travellers seeking a countryside hideaway within reach of Gauteng’s major hubs. The wide-open nature setting means you’ll wake to birdsong, enjoy wide skies and feel yourself slow down, an appealing contrast to the busier city rhythm.

Accommodation & Facilities

Losberg Lodge offers a variety of lodging types: single rooms, double rooms, self-catering cottages (including 9-sleeper and 21-sleeper units) and even a honeymoon suite.

Rooms are equipped with en-suite bathrooms (showers or baths) and features like air-conditioning, TV, WiFi and braai (barbecue) facilities in many units.

The self-catering units are large enough for groups, ideal for families, friends or corporate gatherings.

On-site amenities include a swimming pool, manicured gardens, braai areas, a fully licensed bar, and game/bird-viewing opportunities on the farm.

Events, Weddings & Corporate Use

For guests looking beyond simply a stay, Losberg Lodge doubles beautifully as a venue for events. Whether you’re planning a team-building session, corporate retreat or a wedding, the lodge can accommodate up to around 120 guests. The combination of countryside charm, flexibility of space and accessible location make it a smart choice for local event organisers and out-of-town visitors alike.

Why This is a Good Pick for Surrounding Areas

If you’re based in or visiting places like Potchefstroom, Klerksdorp, Carletonville or Parys, Losberg Lodge offers:

A convenient escape without a long haul, close enough to Johannesburg yet far enough to feel relaxed.

Versatile accommodation that suits solo travellers, couples, families or large groups.
A setting that blends comfort with nature: you’re on a working farm, so you’ll find birdlife and open-space tranquility.

Value: With rooms from around R1 000 per night for two (as noted) in the Fochville region, it compares favourably with many countryside stays.

Practical Tips for Your Visit

Book early if you’re planning a big event (wedding, gala, corporate) as capacity is finite.

Pack for outdoor living: bring comfortable shoes for walks around the property, perhaps binoculars for bird-spotting.

Check the cottage options if you’re travelling with a group, self-catering means more flexibility around meals.

Consider off-peak times: early week-ends or mid-week stays might give you better availability and possibly quieter surroundings.

Explore the area: While the lodge offers plenty, the proximity to Fochville means you can also pop into town for local eateries, shops or heritage visits.

Final Word

For tourists, families, groups or even business travellers from Gauteng and the surrounding regions, Losberg Lodge strikes a neat balance between comfort, nature and accessibility. Whether you’re after a restful night away from the city, planning a memorable wedding or organising a corporate break-away, this Fochville gem delivers. Pack your bag, bring your camera (the garden and pool area are especially photogenic) and get ready to unwind in style.
