This handsome Victorian mansion was built in 1884 for English industrial, mining and agricultural magnate Sammy Marks. Now it’s a museum. There are five daily tours of the mansion and its outbuildings, an atmospheric Victorian tea garden, and beautiful gardens in which you can picnic and imagine the old days of croquet and sandwiches on the lawn. To get to the museum, follow signposting off Rte 104, 20km east of Pretoria.
