Dreaming of a relaxed, sunshine-filled Christmas instead of the usual rush? A festive escape to Bokmakierie Place in Modimolle lets you slow down, soak up the bushveld and spend quality time with the people you love.

Nestled inside the secure Koro Creek Bushveld Golf Estate, Bokmakierie Place is perfectly positioned for a Christmas weekend packed with things to do in Modimolle – from golf and markets to spa days, wildlife and festive dining.

In this guide, we’ve put together a simple three-day itinerary for your perfect Christmas weekend in Modimolle, with ideas that you can mix and match depending on whether you’re travelling as a couple, family or group of friends.

Day 1 – Arrive, Unwind & Explore the Festive Side of Modimolle

Aim to arrive at Bokmakierie Place by early afternoon so you can settle in, unpack and immediately switch to holiday mode. Enjoy a welcome drink on the patio, take in the quiet bushveld views and let the stress of the year melt away.

Check in and enjoy the pool

After the drive, a dip in the sparkling pool is the perfect way to cool down. With solar power keeping things running smoothly, you don’t have to worry about load shedding interrupting your Christmas weekend in Modimolle.

Visit a local Christmas market

If you’re here on one of the festive market weekends, head out to a nearby Christmas or farmers’ market in the Waterberg region for last-minute gifts, biltong, preserves and handmade décor. For dates and details, check the Events page before you travel.

Sunset drinks at Koro Creek Clubhouse

End your first day with sundowners at the Koro Creek clubhouse. The view over the golf course is especially beautiful at sunset, and it’s a relaxed way to ease into the festive mood without having to leave the estate.

Day 2 – Christmas Eve: Golf, Spa & Christmas Lights

Christmas Eve is the perfect day to enjoy the best of things to do in Modimolle – whether that means playing golf, relaxing at the spa, or exploring the town.

Morning: Golf at Koro Creek

Start your day with a round of golf on the Koro Creek Bushveld Golf Estate course. The fairways wind through indigenous bushveld and you might spot zebra or antelope while you play – a uniquely South African way to spend Christmas Eve.

Afternoon: Spa time or nature walk

For pure relaxation, book a pamper session at the Koro Creek Day Spa. Alternatively, take a gentle nature walk through the estate and keep an eye out for nyala, impala and birdlife.

Evening: Christmas Eve dinner & lights

Enjoy a relaxed Christmas Eve braai on the patio at Bokmakierie Place or book a table at the clubhouse. Some years you may find carols or special Christmas Eve events in town – keep an eye on the Events calendar for details.

Day 3 – Christmas Day: Sleep Late, Feast & Relax

Christmas morning in the bushveld has a special kind of quiet. Wake up to birdsong, enjoy coffee on the veranda and take your time – there’s no rush to tear open presents at 6am.

Open gifts with your family, make a festive breakfast in the guest kitchen, and spend some time around the pool. With free Wi-Fi and comfortable lounges, it’s easy to share a few photos with loved ones while still staying present.

Christmas lunch at Koro Creek or self-catered feast

Many guests choose to book a Christmas lunch at the Koro Creek clubhouse, where someone else does the cooking and cleaning. Alternatively, make your own festive spread on the braai at Bokmakierie Place – our outdoor spaces are ideal for long, relaxed Christmas meals.

Afternoon: Bushveld siesta & sunset walk

After lunch, enjoy a nap in your air-conditioned room or relax with a book. Later, take a gentle stroll through the estate as the heat of the day fades – it’s the perfect way to end your Christmas weekend in Modimolle.
