Angler and Antelope Guesthouse

We could start by telling you about our comfortable accommodation — but honestly, wouldn’t you rather hear about the food, the stories, and the remarkable malt whisky collection you can enjoy while unwinding in this beautiful part of the Karoo?

Old-world charm blends effortlessly with modern comfort at our 4-Star graded guesthouse in the heart of Somerset East. Yes, you’ll sleep well with spacious rooms, air-conditioning, goose-down duvets and mohair blankets — but what truly brings guests back time and again is the feeling of being completely at ease. This is a place where you can relax, slow down, and simply be yourself.

Alan and Annabelle’s hands-on hosting style adds a personal touch that turns breakfast and dinner into memorable experiences, often accompanied by lively conversation and shared stories. With accommodation options ranging from luxurious guesthouse rooms to beautifully appointed self-catering units ideal for families, there’s something to suit every kind of traveller.

No visit to the Karoo would be complete without experiencing Alan’s passion — or perhaps obsession — with fly fishing, or indulging in our delicious home-cooked meals. These are perfectly paired with a carefully curated selection of more than 70 malt whiskies. Be sure to browse the menu on our website and make your selections in advance.

The guesthouse and dining areas are fully solar-powered, so power outages won’t interrupt your stay. Our self-catering units are thoughtfully equipped with solar lighting and gas cookers, ensuring comfort and convenience even when the power is off.
