Hidden in the rolling landscape of the Cradle of Humankind, The Cycle Shed @ Kloofzicht offers one of Gauteng’s most refreshing summer escapes. For families and fitness enthusiasts staying in Joburg or Pretoria over the holidays, it delivers a rare blend of nature, community, and world-class training facilities — all without the need to travel far.
From your first step onto the property, there’s an immediate sense of calm. The morning begins with fresh air, friendly faces, and the aroma of expertly brewed coffee drifting from the welcoming Shed Restaurant. It’s the kind of place where cyclists, trail walkers, and active families naturally gather, creating an inviting hub for both social outings and serious training sessions.
“I’m proud to welcome you to The Cycle Shed — a place where community, adventure, and comfort come together. We look forward to seeing you here.”
As you explore further, the experience only deepens. The 25-metre training pool is a standout feature, ideal for triathletes refining their swim technique or kids wanting to cool off after a ride. Secure parking, clean showers, gear-up spaces, and complimentary WiFi make the venue effortlessly convenient, encouraging visitors to stay longer and return often.
Moreover, The Cycle Shed’s membership options offer exceptional value for regular riders and fitness lovers. With various tiers designed to suit casual explorers, dedicated cyclists, and all-round athletes, members enjoy priority access, exclusive perks, and the freedom to train within one of South Africa’s most scenic outdoor playgrounds.
For those seeking a complete training getaway, the adjacent Kloofzicht Lodge & Spa opens even more possibilities. As part of the same ownership, the lodge provides luxurious accommodation just a short drive from The Cycle Shed, making it an ideal location for athletes preparing for major races or families wanting a relaxed countryside break with built-in activities.
Whether you’re training hard, exploring new terrain, or simply enjoying time outdoors, The Cycle Shed at Kloofzicht is more than a cycling venue — it’s a lifestyle destination designed for the whole family.

When Sun City opened in 1979, the world was quite different from the way it is now. Leggy models in ostrich feather plumage were very much part of the glamour of the exciting new hotel and casino, known for sheer extravagance and entertainment.
Times change, however, and not only did a grand dame need a bit of a cosmetic lift to maintain the razzle dazzle for which the resort is world famous, but Sun City stays abreast of the very latest in gaming technology with the introduction of the first counter-top slot and poker machines at its transformed pool area.
For many South Africa, daily life means sitting behind a screen, juggling targets, managing people, responding to complaints, or simply running hard to keep everything moving.
