The City of Tshwane does not publish a day-visitor entrance fee for Derdepoort Recreation Resort online, and the most recent figures we could find date from 2022. We are not quoting a rate we cannot stand behind.
Derdepoort Recreation Resort is on Baviaanspoort Road in Jan Niemand Park, about 15 minutes from central Pretoria, just off Zambesi Drive.
Why There Is No Figure Here
We checked the City of Tshwane’s promulgated tariff documents, which set out electricity, water and rates charges but contain no recreational-facility schedule. The resort’s own listing notes only that prices change annually and are subject to change. Publishing a 2022 number as though it were current would mislead you at the boom.
What the Resort Offers
Swimming pool and children’s paddling pool, play area, braai facilities, lapas for hire, group hire and youth camp facilities. Lapa and group bookings are quoted separately from day entry.
How Gauteng Day-Resort Pricing Usually Works
Day-visitor resorts around Johannesburg and Pretoria follow a common pattern: a per-person gate fee, often with a lower child band and sometimes a pensioner rate; higher pricing at weekends, over school holidays and on public holidays; and a daily cap on visitor numbers that closes the gate once reached. Braai stands, lapas and boats are usually extra. Many take cash only.
Municipal Resorts Often Charge Per Vehicle
Tshwane’s recreational resorts have historically charged per vehicle as well as, or instead of, per person. Ask which applies when you call — it materially changes the cost for a full car.
Price Source and Last-Checked Date
We could not confirm a current entrance fee for this venue from any source we would stand behind. The City of Tshwane publishes rates and utility tariffs but no resort fee schedule we could locate, and third-party listings carry only pre-2023 figures.
Last checked: 6 September 2026. Contact the resort or the City of Tshwane directly for the current day-visitor rate, particularly before a weekend or public-holiday visit.
