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.”
