The stay

Stay beside the official Cradle visitor centre

Maropeng Boutique Hotel is less about resort facilities and more about location. It is the most direct overnight option for travellers who want to spend real time with the Cradle of Humankind story.

How it fits a Cradle visit

Staying here avoids the drive back to Johannesburg after a day at Maropeng and the Sterkfontein Caves, which suits educational groups and first-time Cradle visitors. Spurwing's Cradle of Humankind tours cover the same sites as a day trip from Johannesburg.
