The name Shelter Rock is the name given to a massive boulder which was dislodged from the Magaliesberg cliff face about 10 000 years ago. It can be seen from many kilometers away.

Local people took shelter at the Shelter Rock from the enemy during the Great War of 1898-1903 and during Mozillikazi, of the Zulu's,  invasion of the area in 1820.

At Shelter Rock you can escape to the Magaliesberg where you can experience the healing power of nature while taking part in our activities or enjoy your function.

The views from tthe summit of the Magaliesberg is spectacular and you can relax and meditate at the spire garden on top of the mountain or anywhere in a secluded spot along the hiking trail.

Shelter Rock is within easy reach of Johannesburg, Sandton, Pretoria and Rustenburg.

It is a small owner run establishment and can easily adapt activities and events to the requirements of customers.
You park your vehicle at base camp from where all events and activities can be reached on foot.
There are unique features on the farm not found elsewhere on the Magaliesberg.
