The Magaliesburg is a region rich in natural beauty and history, and it delivers plentiful reward to all who ramble within its intriguing contours. First amongst equals, for some, and certainly a precious jewel in the Magaliesburg crown is the long established and highly celebrated Mount Grace Country House & Spa, home of the equally lauded Rambling Vines restaurant.
