Description

The Anker is situated in the province of the Free State. It is surrounded by lovely farms and mountains. Here you can switch off completely and forget about rush-hour traffic and deadlines. The tree-lined dirt roads, simple Karoo-style cottages and pomegranate and quince trees give The Anker a tranquil feel.

We have three self-catering rooms. The Karoo Room has twin beds in one room and a single bed in another, as well as a full separate bathroom. The Lavender Room has a double bed with a full separate bathroom with a double shower. The Ocean Room has one double bed and a single bed, with a separate bathroom with bath. All rooms are self-catering and included use of the front outside area with braai. Breakfast is available on request.

Philippolis is a lovely village for those who want to escape from the city for a few days. Enjoy silence, closeness to nature, stargazing, birdwatching, no traffic, old-fashioned tranquility and friendliness in this beautiful Free State town.

Good Karoo hospitality
Brian Petzer, South Africa
17 February 2012
Great hosts, lovely room, very nice shower after a long day of driving. Would definitely be back to stay when we are in the area.
Wonderful hospitality
Les Pillay, South Africa
05 January 2012
I was pleasantly surprised when staying at the Anker, to see how close it was in capturing the beauty of nature. Philloplis is about 17 km off the N1, but and absolute treasure in finding the Anker. Halfway to Jhb or Dbn, it really made us feel at home. Elaine and Dieshe were generous in allowing us to stroll through their gardens and helping ourselves to the luscious fruit from their numerous trees. Our hosts assisted us in every avenue, even preparing the fire for our braai. ... more
