The Sparkling Waters Hotel and Spa gets its name from the water in the Krom River that flows along the property. The river and its vegetation not only make the hotel grounds very beautiful, they also create interesting outdoor activities. Your perfect country getaway… Only 1 – 1.5 hours from Gauteng. Sparkling Waters is an ideal escape from city life. Located in the picturesque and historical Magaliesberg Mountains, it’s a perfect place to leave the pressure of the rat race behind. However, it’s also just 1¼ hours from Pretoria, 1½ hours from Johannesburg, about an hour from Lanseria Airport and 30km from Rustenburg – the relaxation it provides is really accessible.
