Elzen

Elzen strives to be your home away from home with lovely rooms to relax in style. Elzen offers 10 luxury rooms that are equipped with en-suite bathrooms with shower/shower facilities.

The rooms have their own air-conditioning, tea/coffee making facilities, TV with DStv decoders which have selected channels. We also have a swimming pool, and Lapa (with braai facilities and a big screen TV). We have safe lock-up / undercover parking facilities (limited space).

Directly translated from the Afrikaans or Dutch, Welkom means 'welcome', and the town emerged after the discovery of gold in the area. Ernest Oppenheimer, at that time the chairman of Anglo American, played a significant role in its development.

Welkom has an idiosyncrasy, for want of a better word: it is one of few cities worldwide that was completely pre-planned. As a consequence, it benefits from an ease of flow and a city that functions well - suburbs each have their own shopping and commercial centres and residents seldom have more than a 10 minute walk to reach them.
