Understand the history of Goodland Estate, who we are and the foundations of what we offer.
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.”
The current owners acquired Goodland Estate in the 1990s. While restoring it as a working farm after a devistating fire they fell in love with its pocket of pristine Bushveld. A passion was born for both preserving and sharing this beauty. We believe that to experience nature is to be blessed by it. And that having been blessed by nature is the best incentive to preserve it.
Our Vision for Goodland Estate is to provide a platform for people to reconnect with the Creator in His Creation.
Our mission at Goodland Estate is to provide access to the beauty of God's creation in the Seringveld Biome while preserving that beauty for generations to come.
Sustainability: Preserving the environment and promoting the enjoyment of nature.
Community: Creating spaces where people can come together to celebrate, learn, and grow.
Accessibility: Simplifying the service offering to remain accessible to as many as possible

The Team
Goodland Estate is a Christian establishment that has been dedicated to the Lord. We have been blessed so richly by the Lord that we earnestly seek to channel this blessing to everyone who comes through our gates. We have also been blessed very richly by visiting groups who have established ‘places of worship’ through their committed worship on our land. We sincerely wish every visitor to be touched by the living presence of the Lord on our land, and to experience his blessing, peace, healing and regeneration.
We believe that every visitor passing through has an impact and makes a difference – either positively or negatively. We are deeply grateful for every thought, word or deed that actively seeks to honor the Lord’s presence on our land. And we are deeply concerned about anything that casually or purposefully dishonors Him. In this vein we actively discourage excessive use of alcohol, music that is heard outside the walls of the building where it is played, noisy quadbikes, littering, etc. And we welcome every visitor who reveres and enjoys this wonderful world created for and entrusted to us.
At Goodland Estate, every corner tells a story of peace, renewal, and connection. Plan your visit today and experience the wonder of Goodland Estate for yourself!
