Heimat Group

Heimat Group is the kind of local business that shows how small actions can make a big difference. Based in Welkom, this guesthouse is not just about beds and breakfasts, it is about people, opportunity and community. We support the community by employing people from the surrounding area, supporting locally owned business and endorsing the activities of our local schools and sports teams. We care about the families we interact with and want to play a part opening doors to future opportunities in our area. At Heimat, we build confidence for our staff, creating opportunity for them to interact with guests from all over South Africa and beyond, learning how to communicate professionally, solve problems and deliver quality service. These are skills that matter – not just in tourism, but in almost any career. Visitors who stay here do not just sleep and leave – they shop locally, use local transport and support nearby businesses, thus Heimat Group helps keep money moving in the local economy. On top of that, the guesthouse’s conferencing facilities mean meetings, workshops and small events can happen right here in Welkom, instead of people travelling to bigger cities. This is important, especially for young entrepreneurs, organisations and community groups who need affordable, professional spaces to connect, learn and grow. What makes Heimat stand out is that it does not shout about its impact – it just gets on with doing the work, creating jobs, building skills, supporting businesses and bringing people together. Heimat Group is a reminder that you do not need to be a big company to make a difference. You just need commitment, consistency, and care for the community around you.
