Hotel Lemoenfontein (Beaufort West, South Africa)

About Lemoenfontein

Set in the vast expanse of the South African Great Karoo, the 4-star Lemoenfontein is a 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. Prepare for an African experience of a life time. In Summer mouthwatering Karoo dinners are served on the large verandah overlooking the Karoo landscape. In winter keep warm in the dining room in front of a cosy logfire. Light Lunches are served on request for guests staying over. Farmhouse Breakfasts are served. Please advise the lodge of any specific dietary requirements.
