Loved by guests
"This is not just a hotel, the small village of Matjiesfontein is an experience."
"The historic 'village' (more of a short street) is incredible and feels like a time capsule of South African history."
"We loved the old style hotel with wooden floors and charm."

The Lord Milner Hotel features 15 furnished historic standard double rooms, historic luxury rooms, and single rooms.

Dining Options
The Lord Milner Hotel dining room holds a true sense of history. Another restaurant option offers freshly baked scones, pastries, and light lunches in its courtyard, complete with a fountain. Onsite restaurant is available.
Leisure and Activities
Matjiesfontein provides outdoor activities such as tennis, mountain biking on a 20km track with views of the Witteberg Mountains, and swimming in the large pool. Guests can stargaze from the historic cricket pitch. A tennis court is available. Guests can visit the Transport Museum and Marie Rawdon Museum, which houses vintage cars and artifacts from the Anglo-Boer War. A historical tour around Matjiesfontein is available on an old red double-decker London bus with Johnny, a local entertainer.
Location and Landmarks
Located in Matjiesfontein in the Western Cape's Central Karoo region, the Lord Milner Hotel is near landmarks such as The Marie Rawdon Museum (0.3 km), Snake Eagle Thinking Path (0.5 km), and Tweedside Lodge (0.3 km). Matjiesfontein will host one of three communications antennas for NASA's Artemis spacecraft.
Hotel Services
The entire village is privately owned and available for tailored functions. Jon and Tom Rawdon have overseen renovation and expansion, including recent refurbishment of Tweedside Lodge, Logan's original homestead, as guest accommodation.
“Spending a night here feels like stepping back in time, with a uniquely Victorian charm permeating the entire privately-owned village. The dining room resonates with history, and the gardens offer a serene contrast to the arid Karoo landscape. I found the historical tours on the vintage double-decker bus genuinely special, an experience I would recommend.”
