Die Ou Pastorie

Die Ou Pastorie - Located nearby Hartbeespoort Dam, the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site and the UNESCO Magaliesberg Biosphere Reserve.

The foundations for Die Ou Pastorie were laid in 1884/5. During this time Skeerpoort was a flourishing farming community, and the parsonage was a building of status with well-built foundations, wooden floors and ceilings as well as sash windows. Architecturally, the Pastorie was built in what was later identified as the ZAR style with fewer embellishments than the Victorian Style so popular with English colonialists at the time. After more than a hundred years of service as a parsonage, police station and private residence, Die Ou Pastorie is now a sought-after destination restaurant and guesthouse for our more discerning visitor both local or international.

Our Restaurant:
Our country style A la carte restaurant is housed within a stunning 521 m complex, a significant portion of which is the beautiful 315 m historic homestead building Die Ou Pastorie which dates back to 1885. Adjacent to the restaurant stands a magnificent specimen of The Wild Olive (Olea europea subsp. africana) which has been dated by knowledgeable botanists as being older than 200 years. Its branches graciously spread out over our splendid glassed off Conservatory a favourite part of the restaurant for intimate family celebrations of up to 25 people.
