The Hominid House is based in Maropeng, the official visitor centre of the Cradle of Humankind and the Sterkfontein Caves. It offers group accommodation for up to 120 learners or adults, with separate rooms for teachers or overseers.

It is soon to be renamed Hominin House and Maropeng managing director Tony Rubin says exciting additions are planned. “We have just laid the foundations for six additional en-suite rooms for teachers. I have no doubt having their own rooms and bathrooms will make their stay a little more relaxing.”

Fun and learning at Maropeng

An all-purpose activity room is being built where learners can gather for learning or recreation sessions.

"The theme of the new project focuses on renewable energy and sustainability. We will be using solar power for heating and solar energy will also charge batteries which will be used to power the lighting. Our activity room will include an educational section on the building's theme that will show, for instance, how all the water in the building is recycled and reused. We hope to instil some real take-home recycling know-how in our new visitors."

Kate Rau, who manages Flow’s Maropeng account, encourages schools to take advantage of the Hominid House. “Maropeng offers learners of all ages an opportunity to interact with the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. To be able to stay over, go to the interactive exhibitions … that sort of learning is invaluable and super.”
