Beaufort West Accommodation - best & worst

Lemoenfontein Country House & self-catering accommodation, with its proximity to the Karoo National Park, stands out as the best Beaufort West accommodation option. In 1849, Sir John Fraser witnessed a massive herd of antelope (springbok, wildebeest, blesbok, quagga, and eland), that took three full days to pass through Beaufort West; with the surrounding veld looking as if it had been "consumed by fire" and the bewildered residents seeing animals filling the streets and gardens, Today's arid Karoo landscape stands in stark contrast to its historical abundance of wildlife. But the sheep which have replaced the antelope are particularly tasty; be sure to try their delicious Karoo lamb dinners during your stay at Lemoenfontein.

Lemoenfontein Country House & self-catering accommodation

This historic homestead dates back to 1850; its luxury rooms are beautifully preserved with high ceilings, original wooden floors, and wide verandas offering panoramic Karoo views. Expect a serene atmosphere and exceptional hospitality. Lemoenfontein's quirky charms include the resident parrot, Kiki, who may occasionally land on a guest’s shoulder and not leave it, as well as the “honesty bar” where guests pour their own drinks, adding to the homely vibe.

Located 2 km off the N1 to the north of Beaufort West, its amenities include an outdoor pool, garden, terrace, and secure parking, with a pet-friendly policy allowing woofie to accompany you.
