LEMOENFONTEIN GAME LODGE
Game Lodge, B&B Accommodation
BEAUFORT WEST, Western Cape, South Africa |
|
Lemoenfontein Game Lodge is set in the heart of the Great Karoo against a backdrop of the Nuweveld Mountain Range, with views over Beaufort West and the vast Karoo plains.
This exclusive Lodge is situated on a 10 000 hectare private game reserve and the beautiful homestead/lodge dates back to 1850. Built slowly and soundly to the exacting standards and architectural style of the time, the building remains unchanged with characteristic high ceilings, original wooden floors and wide verandahs which offer guests a sweeping panoramic view of the Karoo landscape.
The homestead is a haven for the world weary traveller, and for those who want to escape city life and experience the beauty, silence and unassuming simplicity of the vast open spaces.
Originally commissioned by a Victorian English Gentleman, Alhusen, the homestead was built as a hunting retreat. Once a year he would invite friends from both England and Scotland to travel with him to the homestead to hunt, relax and enjoy good company.
Accommodation & Facilities
The self same atmosphere can still be felt throughout the old building even though modern comforts like ceiling fans, wall heaters, air-conditioners and en-suite bathrooms have been added to ensure our guests a comfortable stay.
The 12 en-suite rooms all lead out onto wide verandahs and each have tea & coffee making facilities, toiletries and hairdryers.
The Lodge prides itself with full farm house breakfasts and traditional South African three course dinners, in summer on its magnificent verandah and in winter in our stunning dining room with crackling log fires. Light lunches are offered to guests staying over.
Our stylish lounge offers fully licenced bar facilities, DStv and a fireplace to relax alongside in winter
