Interesting places - accommodation with historical or unique interest

Finding unique accommodation, or accommodation with an historical interest, in South Africa is not unusual or difficult. The country has a rich history and it is a growing trend to provide visitors to South Africa with, not only charm, scenery and first rate accommodation, but also to emphasise those buildings of historical note or of unique interest.

Stay in an original Cape Trek-boer house in the Western Cape, where the milking parlour is named after the original cow shed - now converted into spacious and comfortable accommodation; a house on the site of religious stone circles, and the remains of Suthu huts in Mpumalanga, or an organic farm that allows berry picking in season.

Stay in a house-boat in Kraalbaai, or an authentic fisherman's cottage - restored into unique accommodation. There are retreats in Cape Dutch National Monuments and remote cottages located right on the beach. The Karoo, with its quaint, historic towns is increasingly capturing visitors' imaginations - the choice is yours when it comes to homes of historical or unique interest in South Africa.
