The Cradle Boutique Hotel is located within the Greater Cradle Nature Reserve. The privately owned 9000-hectare Unesco World Heritage Site close to Johannesburg is a unique ecotourism destination boasting two active Palaeoanthropological sites still unearthing both hominid and animal fossils.
We invite you to experience the Cradle of Humankind – which was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1999 – as it reveals stories of the origins of life on our planet billions of years ago and of the evolution of humankind over the last few million years.

Feel the rhythm of life in this unique place as we take you on a journey into an ancient landscape. Whether you come to stay in one of our beautiful rooms, visit our acclaimed restaurant or partake in some of our memorable activities, you will be moved by this special place.
