Matjiesfontein

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.

Matjiesfontein was founded in 1884 by the legendary James Douglas Logan. It has become well known for its splendid historical buildings and in testament the entire Village was restored in 1970 and declared a National Historic Monument. Step back in time and take a trip on an Old London Bus (The Beefeater) that does a daily tour, sip on your wine aboard an original steam train, be summoned to dinner by the sounds of trumpets playing or visit one of its two museums. Matjiesfontein is indeed a Great Country Getaway where pure relaxation is enjoyed.
