Different places. Different stories. One thoughtful approach to design.

omething fresh is coming to Nelspruit. 🍊
KRAAKVARS is heading to the Crocodile Valley with exciting news — we’re expanding with a second location: KRAAKVARS Croc River Estate.

A lifestyle destination with good coffee, lifestyle finds and plenty of ways to get active and enjoy the outdoors.

GIITD Architects repurposed the existing milk stall on site, with an approach centred around retaining and honouring what was already there. We kept the character of the original structure and carefully sliced open the eastern façade, allowing a new sculptural roof to extend from the existing building. The result is a contemporary identity, while the original structure remains at the heart of the design. A challenge we thoroughly enjoyed and a reflection of how we approach architecture: honouring the past while contributing towards the future.

We’re pretty excited about this one. More is taking shape behind the scenes, and we’ll be sharing it as we go.

Keep an eye out. Something KRAAKVARS is coming soon. 🌿 Phase 01 opening 2027.✨

FRESH is growing. 🍊
Your favourite fruit stop at Kraakvars Whisky Farm is getting a fresh new look. A new lifestyle destination is taking shape in the Lowveld - more space for fresh, farm-grown goodness and good times.

With the Crocodile River on its doorstep, the building is designed around the things that make a great stop - fresh food, good coffee and a breathtaking view worth staying for. The idea is simple: bring the extraordinary into the everyday, turning an ordinary stop into something a little more special. The magic of Africa is already here. Our building simply has the privilege of hosting those who come to experience it. We’re excited about what’s coming. You should be too!
