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.”
Kosie Pansegrouw - Owner, Guvon Hotels & Spas
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.

There’s something quietly romantic about spending a morning with your hands caked in clay – no phones, no rush, just laughter and a spinning wheel. That’s exactly what four of us found when we visited Crafted Clay in Lakefield, Benoni for a pottery-on-the-wheel experience. The activity was equal parts grounding, messy, and unexpectedly therapeutic. Here’s how the day unfolded.
