Lemoenfontein Game Lodge

Set in the vast expanse of the South African Great Karoo, this stunning homestead/lodge transports guests back in time to the elegance and charm of the 1850s. Meticulously constructed with authentic architectural features, such as soaring ceilings, original wooden floors, and spacious verandahs, this historical building offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the majestic Karoo landscape.

Despite its rich history, Lemoenfontein has seamlessly incorporated modern comforts to ensure a truly luxurious and comfortable stay. Ceiling fans, wall heaters, air-conditioners, and en-suite bathrooms have been added to enhance the overall experience. Each accommodation opens onto the expansive verandahs, providing an inviting space for relaxation.

Featuring beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms, complete with tea and coffee making facilities, deluxe toiletries, and hairdryers, Lemoenfontein ensures that every guest feels pampered and indulged.

The inviting lounge, with its warm and welcoming fireplace, sets the stage for pre-dinner drinks, creating the perfect ambiance for intimate conversations and moments of relaxation. Lemoenfontein further delights guests with its excellent dining options, offering authentic South African home cooking and an honesty bar. For entertainment, guests can unwind in the TV-lounge with DSTV or take a refreshing dip in the sparkling swimming pool. Braai (barbecue) facilities are also available, allowing guests to indulge in a quintessential South African culinary experience.

An absolute must for all visitors is the exhilarating game drives, offered in the early morning and late afternoon. Guests have the opportunity to witness up to 23 diverse game-species, including magnificent Giraffes, graceful Elands, majestic Kudus, and striking Zebras. In addition, nature enthusiasts can explore the abundant bird life and embark on invigorating walks within the property.

For those staying over, Lemoenfontein happily serves light lunches upon request. The lodge is also equipped to accommodate specific dietary requirements - simply inform us in advance. As the day transitions into evening, guests are treated to mouthwatering Karoo dinners. In the summer, these delectable meals can be enjoyed on the verandah, while in the winter, the dining room, adorned with a cozy log fire, offers a captivating atmosphere.

Beyond offering exceptional lodging and dining experiences, Lemoenfontein is also a sought-after venue for small conferences, special occasions, and weddings. With meticulous attention to detail and a dedicated team, we ensure that every event is an extraordinary and unforgettable celebration of love, joy, or professional accomplishments.

  • "Sweet with a tiny bit of sour"

    18 July 2015

    "Beautiful setting -just outside Beaufort West. The staff and hosts were warm and caring -excellent service all round. Rooms were nice and cosy but not spectacular - they seemed to vary quite a bit -some large with fireplaces others a bit small with no fire place - luck of the draw ?? Supper was good but not outstanding. One drawback was a loud mechanical noise that went on all night every few minutes......"

    24 June 2010

  • "Lemoenfontein"

    14 July 2009

    "The lodge, accommodation and service was lovely and would like to stay there again, but the 'mouthwatering karoo dinner' was really a bit of a let down.We were looking forward to a good meal after a day of travelling, but were disappointed to find that there was hardly enough food for the number of guests dining that night, and the karoo lamb looked like heated up leftovers.Really not the standard one would expect at a lodge of this calibre."

    "Our third stay at Lemoenfontein and the standards are as great as ever. This Lodge is very special."

The most remarkable thing is the wonderful terrace, from which we enjoyed a wonderful view down to Beaufort West and even to the Swartberg Mountains. Wonderful breakfast and diner were served on this terrace. Rooms are clean and equipped well. The garden is beautiful! We loved Lemoenfontein. Thank you for all, we had a great time at your place - and in SA in total.Roland, UIrike, Katrin and Felix"
