Annie's Cottage
(4 star grading) is a large old manor house centrally situated in Springbok,
the centre of Namaqualand in the most western part of the Northern Cape
province of South Africa.
When we lovingly
restored the manor house to its former colonial glory, ambience and atmosphere
was never forgotten. Modern comfort was added to its portfolio of assets
and the old world charm prevailed. |
| Our guesthouse
is furnished with authentic Namaqualand cottage furniture and South African
art. We can accommodate 26 people in our 11 luxury en suite rooms, all
with doors leading into its own special place in the garden.
Enjoy modern
comforts such as ceiling fans, cooling and crisp white Egyptian cotton
bedding and feather duvets as well as electrical blankets and MNet/selected DSTV channels, fully stocked mini bar, robes, toiletries Internet connections, coffee/tea facilities.
We also provide a kitchenette, barbecue facilities and safe parking.
On typical
hot summer days relax in our beautiful cool garden and take a refreshing
dip in the swimming pool under shady old Jacaranda trees. |

Classic little
shops and fine restaurants are only a 500 metre walk away in the old town
and a lively central open market where a happy atmosphere invites all to
stay a while. Hiking, biking, 4x4 and horse trails are also nearby.
The peaceful
town of Springbok offers many attractions, historical sites and museums,
and is the ideal base from which to explore the famous Namaqualand wildflower
reserves. |
| Namaqualand
is a wide and beautiful semi-desert region, dotted with giant granite boulder
stacks. Between these "koppies" the outstretched sandy savannah land becomes
in Springtime (August and September) "God's own garden", when the wild
spring flowers burst into a kaleidoscope of colours.
Springbok also is the gateway to
Namibia, as we are only 120 kilometres from the border
at the Orange River. We offer you the ideal stopover from Cape Town
(554 km), Johannesburg via Upington (1274 km) and Richtersveld National
Park (315 km). |
