Lord Milner Hotel

 
 

Description

On the fringe of the Grand Karoo, the Lord Milner Hotel, the last authentic vestige of Victoriana, sits in all its past glory as a must stop on the N1 national highway linking Cape Town to Johannesburg and the northern part of South Africa.

The Lord Milner's 58 guest rooms have been well maintained over the years and a high standard of service is upheld. The Royal Lounge is open for guests; enjoy a dinner, liqueur or coffee in the historical ambience.

The courteous staff, the clean crisp air and the warmth of the atmosphere surrounding the hotel makes for a relaxing and revitalizing stay. A pond, fountains, river bed and beautiful lush gardens can be seen around the hotel and guest rooms. The town itself is full of historical features and interesting things to do, such as museum tours and bus trips on the old London bus.

Along with the blood-red sunsets, remarkable fauna and flora and its age-old traditions, Matjiesfontein and the Lord Milner Hotel lends itself to the ultimate tranquil escape.

Trein na Matjiesfontein
debby van der poel, South Africa
07 May 2012
It was absolutely awesome. The staff, service, accommodation, food and experience was fantastic. Thank you to Judy, Cindy, Ingrid, Marco, Ben and everyone behind the scenes. Keep up the excellent work. We hope to see you again real soon.
Wonderful

What a wonderful place. A real step back in time. Your museum was fascinating. A real gem. My only suggestion would be a more child friendly menu. Even if it only offered a hamburger or hotdog. We really enjoyed our time there.
Great Time
Des Helfrich, South Africa

We enjoyed our time and met some great staff who enjoy working there!
Nice stopover

Nice old hotel full of history. If time is not important and you can break your journey over three days from Johannesburg to Cape Town, Matjiesfontein is great stopover.
Beautiful

Een van die mooiste plekke waar ons nog gebly het. One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed at.
