Status:
Leydsdorp today consists of 880 stands, hotel, lodge, historical
houses, police station, and a cemetery. The plots vary in size
between 247 sq m and 495 sq m, each with its own title deed. With
no land claim, Eskom power readily available, developments to
make enough water available, the plans are to restore the hotel to its
former glory and to develop Leydsdorp from its current status to
resemble the cultural historical town of the 1890’s.

The gold rush town of Leydsdorp, once with a population of 5000

Transvaal. Paul Kruger himself spent time at Leydsdorp, staying in
his hunting lodge.
