Beaufort West Accommodation, Guest house and Self Catering at Lemoenfontein Country House

Last week we paid a return visit to Lemoenfontein. We have enjoyed our previous visits, but this last visit really deserves a comment.
The sense of history that characterizes this establishment is great food for the imagination! Having a candlelit dinner on the verandah overlooking the plains of Beaufort West, one can just see the British nobleman (who built this lodge) and his buddies, relaxing after a day's hunting! History aside, we were warmly greeted by Orbert, and shown to our beautiful room. It had all the extras that make for a comfortable stay ( flat screen TV, tea coffee making facilities, Wi Fi, adaptors for charging gadgets etc) The bathroom is well appointed and (I think) newly refurbished.
The dinner was good and graciously presided over by Marianna, Orbert and the owners of Lemoenfontein. The following morning's breakfast was extensive and delicious. Here Marianne is wonderful at engaging all her guests.
The gardens are an oasis in the otherwise arid veld of Beaufort West. The pool set in rolling lush lawns is a welcome respite from Beaufort's summer heat.
The staff all deserve special mention. Their interaction with all the guests was great.
This property is more than a stop-over, it's a special treat on an otherwise monotonous stretch of our fabulous countryside

Dear Ingrid

Every word is true – and more. We wish we could stay more often! You should all be sooooo proud of what you offer – and the passion with which you do so. We can feel your love for Lemoenfontein. We only stay there now and then, and you and Lemoenfontein have crept into our hearts in such a big way!

Sorry it took so long to do the review – things have been rough.

Very cold here in Simonstown – mountains covered in snow and we have had rain and hail on and off all day!

Hope you have a warmer weekend than we are in for, and that your beautiful establishment is full of long weekenders enjoying your warm and excellent hospitality! Wish we were there!

Kindest regards to you and to Kobus

Take care

Dear Ingrid and Kobus

I trust this e-mail finds you well.

I’ve stayed at Lemoenfontein three times to date and I just want to use this opportunity in thanking you for your incredible, amazing and fantastic guest farm and facilities. By far the best on the N1 north.

Thank you also for always being friendly and for making your guests feel welcome.

Be assured of my continued support and of course reference to other friends and business partners who also travel past Beaufort West on a regular basis.

Wishing you all the best and thank you for providing us with a “home” away from home.

May you have a wonderful day.

Hello Ingrid and Kobus,

We would like to thank you again for a fantastic and unforgettable stay at Lemoenfontein Game Lodge. We thoroughly enjoyed your personal hospitality, touch to details and would definitely recommend your place to our guests.

Hope the birdfeeder is giving you already lots of joy!

Looking forward to welcoming you at Farr Out soon!

Best wishes from the West Coast

Dear Ingrid, Jenny, Laura, Kobus, Moos, and all the Kitchen staff



My heart is filled with so much thanks and happiness and I really cannot express the joy I feel!



I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you whom played a part in assisting my fiancé with his preparations! I am sure you made his task easier as well, by all prior arrangements and supporting him where necessary. Your warm greetings and friendliness are so welcoming and I am so pleased that I could spend my “engagement weekend” with all of you!



The memories at Lemoenfontein will be with me for the rest of my life (and I’m sure Craig feels that way to), and I can assure you that we will be returning every year as we felt so at home!


Thank you once again for everything you ALL have done! It is highly appreciated J

Warm Regards

Very beautiful lodge in a game drive area. All friendly and kindly staff. Amazing diner and nice location.
