The Angler and Antelope Guesthouse offers a unique experience on large landscaped grounds securely enclosed in the heart of the town. The venue has maintained the ambience of yesteryear with the comforts of the modern era.
Slightly off the beaten track, 24kms from Cookhouse west off the N10 between Port Elizabeth and Cradock, Somerset East lies at the foot of the Boschberg Mountain range. It is an undiscovered gem that reveals its depth of character when you are up close and personal.
The guesthouse's elegance is its simplicity. Most of the original Oregon of 1893 has been restored, and each of the six en-suite bedrooms captures the grace and elegance of the Victorian era, boasting air conditioning, goose down and cotton Percale. The bathrooms are something to behold, reflecting characteristics of the generations that inhabited the home previously, with underfloor heating.
The accommodation comprises of three twin rooms, one double room and two double / twin / family rooms. Wireless internet connection is available on the premises. St Francis, an old church built in 1906, boasts a spirited character and comprises of the lounge, diningroom, kitchen, bar and fly fishing shop.
Seated under Oregon beams on custom made Blackwood furniture, you might well find yourself contemplating, as your taste buds are tantalized by the aromas of wholesome country cooking in its open plan layout. If you find yourself confessing to enjoyment and relaxation whilst sipping your favourite malt whisky in an old church you might be tempted to visit the old confessional.
Smoking is not permitted indoors, but the views of the mountain and the gurgling sounds of the interesting water feature create a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy smoking outdoors.
Activities include: Fly fishing, adrenalin sports, golf, hunting, historical tours, Walter Batiss art gallery, picnics, bird viewing & game viewing.
