Welcome to Parnassus
Established 1984

Retreat and Environmental Centre

Parnassus offers self catering accommodation for leisure guests and dormitory facilities for school camps.

The Parnassus Farm is owned by St Benedict’s – one of the top independent boys’ schools in Johannesburg. St Benedict’s is one of the few schools in the country that has its own Leadership and Conference Centre and the school uses the venue extensively for academic camps, leadership camps and religious retreats.

Since 2010, after extensive alterations, the venue has been opened for use by other schools and groups.

The farm is just three kilometres north of the village of Magaliesburg, on the banks of the Magalies River, in a scenic pass through the Witwatersberg Mountains.
