Host profile image
Hi, I’m Sureen! I’m from South Africa and I feel so blessed to host guests at El-Tsuri Guest Resort in beautiful Hartbeespoort. The name El-Tsuri comes from the Hebrew words meaning “The Lord is my Rock” , a reminder of faith, peace, and strength that guides everything I do here.

El-Tsuri began as a dream to create a space where people could truly rest; surrounded by mountains, gardens, and God’s quiet presence in nature. Every detail, from the soft linens to the peaceful garden paths, was chosen with care to make guests feel calm and at home.

I love welcoming travelers, from near and far and hearing their stories. Whether you come for a romantic getaway, a family break, or a time of reflection, my hope is that you’ll leave refreshed, restored, and reminded of life’s simple beauty.

When I’m not hosting, you’ll find me busy with the next project or enjoying nature, or sharing coffee with loved ones. My greatest joy is seeing guests relax, laughing under the trees, enjoying a braai at sunset, or finding stillness in the gardens.

At El-Tsuri, we believe every stay should offer peace for the heart and renewal for the soul. I can’t wait to welcome you and share this special place, where comfort, kindness, and faith meet in perfect harmony.

Why they chose this property

The Peace of Hartbeespoort & the Charm of Flora Park AH

Nestled between the serene Hartbeespoort Dam and the beautiful Magaliesberg Mountains, Hartbeespoort, affectionately known as Harties, is a place where time slows down and nature takes the lead. With fresh mountain air, gentle breezes, and birdsong filling the mornings, it’s easy to see why so many guests fall in love with this peaceful valley. Evenings here are magical, golden light spilling over the hills, quiet roads, and a sky full of stars.

Within this tranquil setting lies Flora Park AH, a small, friendly neighborhood known for its calm atmosphere and welcoming community. Life here is relaxed and unhurried, surrounded by trees and open views of the surrounding countryside. Though peaceful, Flora Park has everything you need close by; a Sasol garage with a biltong shop, a cozy small restaurant for a quick bite, and a fully stocked supermarket where you can find all your essentials.

Guests appreciate how convenient yet restful the area is; close enough to enjoy all of Hartbeespoort’s attractions, but far enough to feel private and safe. Whether you’re exploring the dam, visiting nearby markets and cafés, or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee in the garden, Flora Park offers that rare balance between comfort and countryside charm.

Here in Hartbeespoort, surrounded by natural beauty and genuine hospitality, you’ll find more than a getaway; you’ll find peace, kindness, and a sense of belonging that stays with you long after you leave.

What makes this property unique

What makes El-Tsuri Guest Resort truly special is the peace you feel the moment you arrive; a calm that flows through every part of the property. Nestled in the tranquil Flora Park Agricultural Holdings area of Hartbeespoort, and surrounded by the Magaliesberg Mountains, the resort offers a perfect balance of comfort, culture, and natural beauty.

The name El-Tsuri means “The Lord is my Rock,” a reflection of the faith, love, and care that built this place. Every detail; from the gentle garden paths to the welcoming smiles; is designed to help guests rest, recharge, and reconnect.

Our resort features four uniquely themed units, each inspired by a different destination. The Seaview Unit brings coastal serenity with soft ocean tones and sunlight. The British Unit adds timeless charm and classic warmth. The African Unit celebrates local culture with earthy textures and rich character, while the Egyptian Unit, our romantic honeymoon suite, surrounds you in golden elegance and quiet luxury transports you into ancient Egypt with original papyrus paintings displayed on the walls. Each unit invites you to travel through culture and experience a new atmosphere while feeling right at home.

On warm summer days, guests love to cool off in our sparkling swimming pool, surrounded by greenery and mountain views. In the evenings, the Boma becomes the heart of connection; where stories are shared around the fire in true South African braai tradition.

At El-Tsuri, every guest is more than a visitor; they’re part of our story. Here, peace, beauty, and heartfelt hospitality come together to create a place where you can simply be still and feel restored.
