Our Story

Buksies Resort began with one simple idea: create a place where families, friends, churches, schools and communities can come together and make memories. A place with the feel of a holiday, without needing to travel far to get it. What started as a small family-owned property grew into a relaxed countryside resort where children can play freely, parents can unwind, and groups can gather in a peaceful and welcoming environment.

Over the years, we’ve added more play areas, more spaces for celebrations, more accommodation options, and more ways to enjoy the outdoors. But one thing has stayed the same: our heart for people.

We believe in warmth, hospitality and real connection. The kind that makes you feel like you’re visiting family.

At Buksies Resort, you’ll find open green spaces, sparkling pools, braai areas, picnic lawns, and that unmistakable feeling of being “away” even though you’re close to home. Whether you're here for a birthday, a church outing, a school trip, a weekend away, or just a day to relax — we’re glad you’re here.

You’re not just visiting a resort. You’re part of our story now.

HOW IT STARTED

A Passion for Family Fun and Outdoor Connection

Buksies Resort was created with one goal in mind — to offer families, schools, and groups a safe, affordable, and family-friendly resort in Johannesburg South. We saw how much people longed for quality outdoor spaces close to home — places where parents can unwind while kids play freely. That vision inspired us to build a resort that combines fun, relaxation, and nature in one unforgettable experience.
