A little peace of heaven on the ground, Muldersdrift , South Africa

January 28, 2025

A little bit of the Cape in Jozi. A spectacular pup-friendly venue just 1hr from the city - Ground.

The perfection of Ground is unparalled. The venue is vast & absolutely beautiful with so much space for your fur kids to run & play. Rollo, Ally & Teddy loved the pristine gardens, rolling hills & lush trees. A fur kid’s dream with a pup & human menu at the meticulously designed restaurant. Reminiscent of the Cape’s wine estates with a Joburg charm is the best way to describe this curated space. With very few places like this, it’s a bucket list must for all Jozi folk & your fur babies.

Rollo 2012 - 2024. Always in our hearts & on our minds.

This post is dedicated to our fur child, Rollo 2012 - 2024. Always in our hearts & on our minds. Rollo was the first to travel with us & showed us that pups love holidays as much as humans do.

Not only is this eatery pet-friendly, but also a gastronomical delight. We love pet-friendly spots and will normally sacrifice on food quality just so our fur kids can join.

Le Creuset food and water bowls waiting in the room. Delicious, healthy treats on arrival. Under floor heating for the floofs to bask on during the cold winter mornings. Pup beds if you need them. Beautiful, enclosed places and spaces for your fur kids to enjoy - two pools, sprawling green lawns, and more Nguni ottomans than your pups can count, just waiting to be slept on. Ally, Teddy and Rollo are no strangers to this hotel & love staying over. It does cost R350 per pup, per night, for this Pawesome Place though. If you’re happy to pay, they'll be happy you stayed.
