Lemoenfontein Game reserve is set
in the vast expanse of the Karoo, this beautiful homestead dates back
to 1850. Built slowly and soundly to the exacting standards and
archi-tectural style of the time, the building remains unchanged with
characteristic high ceilings, original wooden floors and wide
verandahs which offer guests a sweeping view of the Karoo landscape.
The homestead at Lemoenfontein is a haven for the
world weary traveller, and for those who want to escape the city life
and experience the beauty, silence and unassuming simplicity of the
vast open spaces.
The homestead,
originally commissioned
by a Victorian English
gentleman, was built as a hunting retreat. Once a year he would invite
friends from England and Scotland to travel with him to the homestead
to hunt, relax and enjoy
good company.
This
self same atmosphere can still be felt throughout the old building
even though modern comforts like, ceiling fans, wall heaters and
en-suite bathrooms have been added to ensure our guests
a comfortable stay.
The
kitchen offers a variety of well prepared and presented traditional as
well as truly South African dishes. Enjoy a farmstyle breakfast on the
cool verandah or an a' la carte menu in the cosy
dining room. The emphasis
is on good wholesome
cuisine prepared to perfection.

For the adventurous, take walks in the veld or enjoy game viewing at
its best.
At Lemoenfontein you can 'Experience the tranquility
and silence of the Great
Karoo'.
