Aqua Relaxation

Three Sparkling Swimming Pools

Gallery Inn is home to not one, not two, but three swimming pools — each with a different character and vibe. Whether you want to splash with the kids, or float lazily under the African sun, we have the perfect pool for your mood.

The pools are surrounded by manicured lawns. There is nothing quite like cooling off in the clear water after a day exploring the bush, then watching the breathtaking Limpopo sunset with a sundowner in hand.

The Social Hub

Entertainment Lapa

The heart of Gallery Inn's social scene — our fully equipped entertainment lapa is where memories are made. Whether it's a birthday braai, a pool party, or simply an evening with great music and good company, the lapa has everything you need.

The boma fire and lapa together make the perfect setting for evenings with good company, while the bar keeps the sundowners flowing all night long.

Evening Magic

Traditional Boma Fires

There is something deeply magical about gathering around a crackling log fire under the vast African sky. At Gallery Inn, evenings come alive at the boma — a traditional outdoor fire pit surrounded by rustic seating where guests gather to share stories, laughter, and the kind of warmth only a bushveld night can offer.

The boma is the perfect setting for sundowners, braai evenings, or simply sitting quietly and listening to the sounds of the African night. You will hear the distant calls of wildlife and the rustle of the bush all around you.

"Some of our best moments happen around the fire — that's where the real magic of the bushveld comes alive."

Self-Catering Paradise

Braai Facilities

Every chalet at Gallery Inn has its own braai area — because nothing says South African holiday like fire, meat, and a cold drink under the stars.

Your Own Braai

Every single chalet has a braai area on the patio — no sharing required. Fire up the coals any time you like and enjoy a true South African self-catering experience.

Corporate Retreats

Conference & Team Building

Swap the boardroom for the bushveld.

A refreshing natural setting that inspires creativity and focus. Complete audio-visual equipment, reliable internet and full catering options make for a productive and memorable corporate event.

Combine your meeting with a team-building day using our pools, lapa and boma — or arrange guided activities in the surrounding area.

Pure Bushveld

22 Hectares of Natural Beauty

Gallery Inn sits within 22 hectares of pristine indigenous Limpopo bushveld. Guests are invited to explore the grounds on foot — spot birds, listen to the sounds of nature, and simply breathe in clean, unpolluted air that feels a world away from Johannesburg and Pretoria.

The property is home to a variety of indigenous trees, plants and bird species. Early mornings are particularly magical as the bush wakes up and the air carries the calls of dozens of bird species.

With sunsets that paint the sky in shades of amber, orange and deep red, Gallery Inn offers the kind of natural theatre that money cannot buy and cameras struggle to capture.

Extra Fun

Trampoline Jumping

Enjoy a playful burst of energy on our on-site trampoline. Great for kids and families looking for a safe, fun way to burn off extra excitement between pool dips and braai time.

It's a favourite spot for younger guests to bounce, laugh and make holiday memories while parents relax nearby.
