DIE PONDOKKIE GUEST HOUSE
Bed & Breakfast Accommodation
in Hofmeyr, Eastern Cape, South Africa
Die Pondokkie Guesthouse is located in the quiet Karoo town of Hofmeyr, on
the popular R390 route between Gauteng/OFS and Port Elizabeth/Jefferys Bay (800
km from Jhb, 320 km from PE and 65km from Cradock). The property is two blocks
off the main road through Hofmeyr, so guests are not bothered by the noise of
heavy trucks driving through / parking in the main road. With only the road
through town being tarred, the gravel streets of the residential area adds to
the tranquility of a tree and bird rich country town.
The guest house offers a private home from home with two double rooms (one
en-suite and one separate bath room). It is ideal for a family with children
since guests have the entire house of their comfort and privacy (your hosts live
right across the guest house). With a fully enclosed garden there is sufficient
space for children to safety play as they wish. All beds are equipped with
mosquito nets, and electric bed warmers for those chilly Karoo winter nights.
The kitchen is fully equipped for self catering with a shaded braai in a secure
garden. The large lounge/dining room has a TV with all SABC channels (via a DStv
decoder), and a
two-sleeper couch can accommodate two more persons for the family or group of
six people. A separate breakfast room can seat 8 people. Safe parking is
available in a double lock-up garage with alarm, with access from inside the
property. Toilet friendly pets are most welcome to enjoy the run of a fully
walled garden.
For those who don't fancy catering for themselves, a full English breakfast can
be served on request. Please note that Hofmeyr has
no restaurants and only limited take away facilities.
Activities
Hofmeyr is the ideal town to just chill after a long journey, but the town's
quietness belies some interesting sightseeing.
The majestic Gariep Dam and outlet of the Orange/Fish River Tunnel is only 150km
from Hofmeyr and warrants a day trip.
Good gravel roads surrounding the town offer some of the most beautiful Karoo
landscapes, where massive herds of Springbok can be seen. On a clear night the
sight of the stars will leave many a city dweller breathless.
