Somerset Lodge

Somerset Lodge is a spacious family-owned hotel and guest house, with a warm friendly atmosphere and comfortable en-suite bedrooms. It is the oldest recognised resting spot for travellers in the area, with the original Cape Dutch farmhouse dating back to 1850. What was the original horse and carriage changing station in Somerset West in 1895, Somerset Lodge is now a popular destination for all who travel. Somerset Lodge is graded 3 Stars by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa and is a 2007/2008 AA accommodation awards semi-finalist.

Facilities include an la carte restaurant and licensed bar, and the entire area has wireless Internet connectivity - ideally suited for business travellers. Each of the 14 rooms is individually decorated and has its own charm and character. All have direct dial telephones, satellite television, and en-suite bathrooms.

Choose from single, twin, double, or family rooms. Also available are the popular honeymoon suite and the private twin apartment chalet leading onto the rose garden. Relax in our local, the Arksey Village Pub, where you can sip a long refreshing drink or splash out and sample some of the fine Scotch, Irish, and single malt whiskies from Simon's famous collection.

Somerset Lodge is also a strategic partner with TempestSixt Car Hire, South Africa's leading price sensitive car rental company. The TempestSixt branch is on-site at Somerset Lodge, and vehicles can be collected and dropped off at the lodge itself. Airport transfers are available to and from Somerset Lodge.
