Housemartin Guest Lodge

 
 

Description

At the Southern entrance to the magnificent Meiringspoort lies the scenic village of De Rust, where Bill and Christina avid birders and owners of Housemartin Guest Lodge will welcome you. In the garden of the 110 year old Victorian manor house are 12 en-suite luxury guest rooms; each with their own verandah leading onto the gardens, orchard and sparkling pool. In the rooms you will find Muscadel, homemade biscuits, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and magazines.

Other features include percale bed linen and in winter we offer under-floor heating in the bathrooms as well as mohair blankets and electric under blankets to keep you snug and warm. Each room also boasts courtesy tea and coffee facilities, home-made biscuits, rusks, Muscadel and Port. These can be enjoyed at the table and chairs on the private, covered verandahs.

The atmosphere lures the guests into gentle relaxation after a day exploring the walking and biking trails in the area or birding, cycling and wine tasting on the local estates. Try driving through the sandstone peaks of one of the highest mountain ranges in South Africa, the amazing Swartberg, or meandering through the Kammanassie and Outeniquas.

The Meiringspoort; a must see and is home to the Pelargonium or geranium and is abundant with fauna and flora. The waterfall is superb to swim in and a great place to have a sundowner. The lodge is wheelchair friendly.

Thanks. Arrangements on arrival was excellent. Very neat and slept well before the Karoo to Coast race.

A really lovely stopover. The room was warm, with a very good bed, duvet and pillows, and the bathroom was warm too - what luxury. Our hosts were very welcoming and we had a very good meal in the evening. We will definitely recommend this guest house to our friends.
