Lapidaria Guest House

The guest house is named after the succulent plant Lapidaria spp, meaning the rose of the Karoo. It is situated in the little town of Willowmore in the Eastern Cape, providing warm and friendly service.

We offer three tastefully decorated rooms in a colonial vintage style. All the rooms have private entrances, tea and coffee facilities, air-conditioning and TVs.

There is a pool table and a fireplace where guests can relax or socialize. Guests can also walk through the beautiful garden or play a round of tennis on the private court. Pets are welcome by prior arrangement only.

On request, we can arrange trips around town showing everyday lifestyles and farming practices of the Karoo.

"Juweel in Willowmore"

31 January 2018

"Die gastehuis en eienaars maak mens lief vir die Karoo en sy mense. Vriendelike ontvangs, pragtige ruim en skoon kamer en badkamer, gerieflike bed, smaaklike ete en die huis is gevul met oudhede wat mens terugvoer na vervlo dae. Niks is te veel moeite vir die eienaars; ons sal defnitief weer daar kuier en beveel mense aan om nie eers verder te soek vir verblyf in Willowmore - bespreek by Lapidaria :-)"
