South Africa Luxury Bed and Breakfast Historic Home in George.
If you want a good breakfast, a firm mattress, free WiFi, a bathrobe, space for your luggage, a small fridge, good quality coffee in your room, a hairdryer, free secure parking, maybe an iron and ironing board – that is essential. At our Homestead you’ll find that and more… The rooms come in all different sizes and shapes; all have a mix of contemporary and original features. Our garden is an attraction in it’s own right.
Experience hospitality in a unique and authentic Cape Georgian historical home dating back to 1861. This Homestead is a 7 bedroom guest house in B&B style - that means we, the owners, live on the premises.The guest rooms are private, with a communal lounge/dining room for the guests.
I do not profess that our guest house is child-friendly, but we do love children and our B&B is one of the few upmarket B&B's that take children.

Nestling at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains, George finds itself at the centre of natures “Garden Route” in the Cape Wildflower Floral Kingdom. Situated approximately 430 kilometres from the Mother City of Cape Town,
George is widely regarded as the hub of the Southern Cape Region. It is therefore the ideal base from which to explore the Southern Cape and Little Karoo. George is highly accessible. A good road network and the George airport link the Southern Cape and Little Karoo hinterland to the major centres of South Africa.
It is the business hub of the region and offers a variety of conference facilities, restaurants and tourist attractions and activities.
15 kilometres east of George on the N2 between the Kaaimans River and the Goukamma Nature Reserve, you will discover Wilderness. Nestling between the wooded foothills of the Outeniqua Mountains and the warm Indian Ocean in a region renown for its incomparable natural beauty, vast stretches of beaches and tranquility. It is a haven for nature lovers and adventurers alike. Most people chance upon Wilderness for the first time after sweeping through the Kaaimans River gorge and rounding Dolphin Point. Below stretches a seemingly endless beach; in the distance are hints of inland lakes, rare in South Africa; to the left wooded hills tumble down to the village and further inland are faraway glimpses of the Outeniqua Mountains.

This place deserves its 5 star status. It is just incredible... historic, beautiful, comfortable, amazing views, the best breakfast and wonderful hosts. It's pricey, but worth it for the experience and the great memories you will have afterwards. The garden is a masterpiece, and speaking to the owner about it made us appreciate his hard work and vision even more. Loved the experience, this is a real gem
