Nature Lover’s Paradise.
Little Eden is a nature lover’s paradise. The ability to surprise is still Little Eden’s most persuasive trick. Situated near Cullinan, a short drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria, this Resort is the perfect oasis of natural beauty, peace and tranquillity. The drive from Cullinan to the Resort gives no indication that such splendour is on the cards. The tar road meanders through the open fields allowing you to enjoy the breeze as you make your way to the Resort’s entrance. It is only when you have entered through the gate that you get a sense that you have just stepped into a modern day Eden. The warm and bright smiles as you are welcomed remind you that you are not entering just any Resort but that you have arrived at your home-away-from-home.
Set alongside a ravine with stunning views, wonderful bush walks, rock pools, plenty of on-site activities such as outdoor massages or strolls to the waterfall; and providing great accommodation, Little Eden offers the perfect escape. The quaint chalets are stone, timber and thatch and are perfectly positioned to ensure privacy and every opportunity to admire the stunning views. This Resort offers a nature getaway that encapsulates everything peaceful, serene and tranquil and the opportunity to explore the nearby historic town of Cullinan.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Little Eden was just a picnic spot for families and lovebirds that wanted to enjoy the tranquil environment.
In the mid 1980s, the Goudvis family bought the farm and started developing the Resort.
The first Chalets that were built on the farm were Chalet 10, 11 and 12, thereafter they constructed Chalets 1 to 20, but excluded number 13. Grandmother Goudvis believed that the number 13 could bring ‘bad luck’ to the Resort.
In the early 1990s, Chalet 14 and 15 burned down because of a lightning strike during a storm. They later rebuilt these units but re-numbered them to Chalet 13 and 14 and build a new unit numbered 15, hence the reason the Resort has Chalets numbered from 1 to 20.
