Gold Creek Private Ranch is located just a stone’s throw from the historic Eerstelling Gold Mine—the first commercial gold mining site in South Africa, established in 1873. At the entrance to the ranch stands the original Post Office, built in 1887, still standing as a proud reminder of the area’s rich heritage. Our ranch is crisscrossed with quartz veins rich in gold, winding through the lush bushveld landscape—an origin that inspired our name. Even today, prospectors continue to visit Gold Creek to pan for gold, drawn by the land’s enduring promise.
The ranch is located in the Limpopo Province and just a 20-minute drive from Polokwane, and a 3-hour drive from Johannesburg.
Gold Creek Private Ranch is perfect for family gatherings, small conferences and for enjoying the bushveld and all its spenders. Our ranch has more than 10 different antelope species, leopards, giraffes and zebra. Our destination is also ideal for bird watching and hikes along the creek.
