The Willow Historical Guesthouse

Experience an important piece of South African history in this historic building with Victorian furniture, old world charm and unsurpassed hospitality.

Ideally situated for stopovers when travelling from Gauteng to George, the Willow Historical Guesthouse in Willowmore offers excellent comfortable accommodation and fine food at the a la carte restaurant.

This is a real home away from home.

The double-storey guesthouse is tastefully furnished with period pieces along with a large collection of Africana, providing a fascinating insight into the South African way of life in times long gone.

Stay in our en-suite twin and double rooms or our private en-suite cottages – warm in winter and cool in summer. We can accommodate up to 30 visitors.

Wi-Fi is available in all our rooms.

In the lounge, the genuine Victorian fireplace sets the atmosphere for winter nights in the Karoo.

Guests find it the perfect place to gather and relax after dinner in front of the cheerful log fire until it is time to turn in, or meet new friends in the cosy bar.

In the hot Karoo summers, visitors love our shady green garden and refreshing swimming pool.

In our dining room (which features antique furniture and interesting local artefacts) we serve lunch and dinner a la carte, offering the best in traditional Karoo dishes.

Firm favourites include Karoo lamb and ostrich as well as lamb shank, tripe and trotters, the famouse Karoo platter and pumpkin cakes.

Our full English breakfasts should not be missed.
