Tranquillity is a state of life — 32 Marmer Street, Wilkoppies
32 Marmer Street, Wilkoppies, Klerksdorp — minutes from Wilmed Park Hospital and the N12.
Ukarimu (pronounced oo-KAH-ree-moo) is the Swahili word for hospitality. It's a name that has guided everything we do since Karin Erasmus founded this guesthouse in 2008 — and it remains the heart of how we welcome every guest today. Set in a quiet suburb of Klerksdorp, just 175km from Johannesburg on the N12, Ukarimu offers a genuine escape — beautiful gardens, a sparkling pool, and rooms that feel like your own private retreat.
Whether you're visiting for a weekend getaway, travelling with family, here on business, or supporting a loved one at a nearby hospital — André and the team will make you feel genuinely at home.
Ukarimu is a peaceful, respectful environment. We welcome guests who share that value — and we hold ourselves to the same standard we ask of everyone who stays with us. Read our guest standards →
