Diamantvallei has existed since the nineties as wedding venue and guest house. It was originally built by the Breebaarts who sold it in 2003 to the Stomans, the current owners. It was managed until 2019 by Hendrik en Alida Verwoerd, who retired and moved to the Karoo. Currently the venue is managed and marketed by the Kragdag team under leadership of HP and Lalie Steyn. We are proud of the quality of service they deliver, with friendly and helpful hospitality towards our guests. The pesonal attention they offer everyone and the willingness to try and fulfill as much as possible the unique needs and requests of every guest, even endeavouring to anticipate it, results in Diamantvallei being able to offer a very special and flexible service to our clients (within reason).

Diamantvallei provides great accommodation in a peaceful farm atmosphere with birdsong, beautiful view and woods, just outside Pretoria - whether a quick break, accommodation close to several wedding venues, or business in Pretoria/Johannesburg. Accommodation comprises three double rooms and two family rooms, of which one can be a bridal suite. All rooms are equipped with an en-suite bathroom and heated towel rails, fireplace or electric heater, as well as coffee and tea making facilities. Some rooms include a microwave and refridgerator – please let us know at booking if you need that. Diamantvallei wants to offer a cosy, yet luxury stay. All rooms have been newly renovated in May 2021 with modern facilities, although the the stately, classic atmosphere has been retained. Bed and Breakfast is available for wedding guests (also from nearby venues) or any other visitors to the area, who wants to stay close to the city, yet in a more rural environment. Wifi and internet access is freely available in every room for online work. A power generator and solar energy are used to mitigate load shedding. Joe-Li Coffee shop, on site, is open from Tuesday to Saturday 08:00 - 16:00 and also serves light meals. A Lapa with barbeque and pizza oven is available for self catering meals, as well as a secondary braai area if the first is in use. (Extra fee, braai packs can be purchased.) Diamantvallei is family friendly - extra mattresses are available in every room, according to parental discretion and there are large safe outdoor play spaces. The farm has a natural dam and wetland area for swimming or rowing at own risk with own equipment. There is also opportunity for mountain biking or hiking and picnic areas (no formal facilities or supervision are supplied). Please note that parents are responsible for their own children’s safety – all activities are at own risk. The venue can offer several options for weddings, conferences or concerts - big or small, indoors or out.

The local area is rich in history, with rock forts from the Anglo-Boer war and signs of battles and a prisoner of war camp. Some rock formations look like they date from primitive times. Cullinan diamond mine and museum is about 30 – 40 minutes’ drive from Diamantvallei and the town itself has several old buildings from the 19th century with beautiful, quaint cafes and restaurants. From the same era dates the Sammy Marks museum, situated on the old Pretoria-Bronkhorstspruit road – a Victorian villa that belonged to a Jewish businessman, who was friends with president Paul Kruger. The house is an example of a luxury dwelling of the time. The central parts of Pretoria is only about 25 to 45km away from Diamantvallei – ideal for a visit to the Voortrekker monument, Pioneers Museum (the first, very humble house built in the region), Irene concentration camp and other museums and historical buildings in and around the city, as well as the Pretoria Zoo. For shopping there are several malls within half an hour’s drive, like Menlyn, The Grove, Atterbury Value Mart, Brooklyn Mall and even the spreading Woodlands shopping centre. There are also numerous choices on the restaurant and night life scene. Other outdoor events and markets, like Protea festival, Cullifest, antique markets, park jogs, mountain bike races, motor cross events, etc. are also available from time to time.
