Jan Smuts House Museum — Attraction in Tshwane Ward 65

The Smuts House is an amazing place to visit and go back in time to an important time in our country's history. Well kept and very informative.

The house and the property is the actual residence in where general Smuts lived.

There is a picnic area on the property as well as Ouma Issie's Restaurant, named after general Smuts' wife. The menu catera for breakfast and light lunch and the food is amazing, fresh and very well priced. Ideal place to host small functions such as baby showers, birthday parties etc.

The property also has a big picnic area where visitors can bring their own food and drink and spend the day with the family under the huge old trees with a few ox-wagon randomely parked between thetrees. Bring camping chairs if you plan on a picnic, as this area is not completely covered with grass.

Over weekends one can do runs on the adjacent property with Adventure Trails with distances between 2.5km and 15km along the Sesmylspruit and in the koppie behind Smuts House. These hikes / runs are pet friendly.

We visit Smuts House at least once a month and it is...

5/5 stars!

I'm so lucky to have discovered the Jan Smuts Museum! As a regular photographer here I've had the pleasure of getting to know the team and experiencing all that this beautiful venue has to offer.

The museum itself is steeped in history and is a must-visit for anyone interested in learning more about Jan Smuts' life and legacy.

But it's not just the museum that makes this place special - the cozy little coffee shop is the perfect spot to grab a cup of coffee and relax and the beautiful hiking trail offers breathtaking views and a chance to connect with nature.

As a photographer I can attest that this is the perfect place for outdoor photoshoots - the scenery is stunning and the team is always accommodating and helpful.

I feel like part of the family here and I highly recommend the Jan Smuts Museum to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable experience!

Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover or just looking for a beautiful spot to relax, this place has something...

A must see for all South Africans. A strong, convicted politician, not perfect, yet obviously clearly not moved by material things. Highly intelligent, respected the world over, highly accomplished in many diverse arenas - politics, philosophy, botany; right down to his detailed fascination with herbs and grasses - who would have thought. Incredible homestead focusing more on the natural than the material. Much food for thought; and a beautiful shaded Tea Room set in peaceful Green Gardens all the more to make it a wonderful yet informative outing for the family. Well worth a visit - well worth the donation/adult to view the house - but allow at least an hour to carefully read through and internalise everything; just as it was when Smuts was there - even to the untouched, clearly expansive, fascinating...
