Quality accommodation in Somerset East

We could tell you about the comfortable accommodation, but wouldn't you rather hear about the food and the Malt Whisky collection that you can enjoy whilst relaxing and enjoying the beauty of Somerset East?

Looking for accommodation in Somerset East?  At the Angler and Antelope, old world charm meets modern comfort. Located in the heart of Somerset East in the Eastern Cape of South Africa; this guesthouse is not just about the comfort of space, air-con, goosedown and mohair blankets.  This is a place that will make you want to return time after time. Here you can relax and be yourself. Alan & Annabelle's hands on approach make for some interesting topics of conversation around the breakfast or dinner table.

Have a look at our rooms, and decide which one you'd like to relax in!

You just can't go through the Karoo without experiencing the passion (or is it obsession?) of Alan and his fly fishing, or the delicious home cooked meals, complimented by a selection of over 70 Malt Whiskies. Have a look at the current menu, and remember to make your selection in advance.

We have put a number of hygiene protocols in place to ensure the best possible safety and cleanliness during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Protocols are available on request.

  • We spent 3 nights with Alan & Annabelle. The food, accommodation and hospitality was excellent. We managed to share some quality fishing time with Alan which was also a bonus. This was our second stay and will likely become a routine stop for our travels around the Eastern Cape in the future. Thank you for everything, Phil & Carina
