Colugos

Most of our guests fly from country to country like Colugos fly from tree to tree.
Colugos are arboreal gliding mammals found in Southeast Asia. They are the most capable gliders of all gliding mammals, using flaps of extra skin between their legs to glide from higher to lower locations. They are also known as cobegos or flying lemurs, although they are not true lemurs.
Colugos Cottage is situated in Meyerton, which is in Midvaal. Midvaal Local Municipality is an administrative area in the Sedibeng District of Gauteng in South Africa. The name due to its geographical location: Midvaal is 30 minutes’ drive by the R59 freeway to Johannesburg/East Rand or the Vanderbijlpark/Vereeniging area. Vanderbijlpark is home to the Emerald Casino Resort, Emfuleni Golf Course and the Vaal Mall.
Midvaal Local Municipality led by Executive Mayor Cllr. Bongani Baloyi has been coined the fastest growing municipality in Gauteng due to its rapid economic growth. Midvaal has undergone a radical change from quaint country area to booming tourist, recreational and industrial centre in Southern Gauteng. Midvaal has grown from 60 000 residents in 2001 to 100 000 today. A report by Gauteng’s Provincial Government ranked Midvaal as the province's top municipality in terms of quality of life. Midvaal is ranked within the top 10% of high scoring local municipalities in South Africa.
Midvaal’s name has become more prominent with the establishment of the Oprah Winfrey School located in the area. In addition to this one of golf's most successful and recognisable stars Greg Norman coined “the Great White Shark” invested huge amounts of money into the Eye of Africa Golfing Estate development for which he designed the golf course. The municipality’s major achievement has been attracting Sedibeng Breweries, South Africa’s distributors of Heineken into the area. The brewery has set up its national offices along Midvaal R59 freeway and has brought with it new opportunities for job creation and small businesses.
