Why Stay at Kaleaba House?
First off, location. Kaleaba House is just a short drive from the town centre and 100 metres from the Vaal River – close enough to enjoy the river’s soothing sounds, but far enough that you won’t have wet socks when you wake up.

If you’re the type that doesn’t travel light, don’t stress – each room has a closet for all your extra clothes (even the ones you know you won’t wear).
