Colesview Guest Lodge

Your hosts, Alex and René Dumas, will offer you a warm welcome at Colesview Guest House, where the comfort and satisfaction of their guests is their top priority.

The guest house is situated in the town of Colesberg, an oasis in the Karoo, halfway to everywhere. Conveniently located in the upper part of town, we are just one kilometre off the N1 highway in a quiet, secluded, residential area, conducive to a good night's rest.

Recently refurbished, this elegant guesthouse offers a stunning view of Coleskop Mountain, visible from 40 km away. When the sun slips below the horizon, brushing the sky with brilliant hues, Coleskop's former name, Towerberg meaning Magic Mountain) seems more appropriate.

Our "rooms with a view" can accommodate 21 people in 6 stylishly decorated bedrooms. The rooms all have separate entrances and sleep from 2 to 6 people, all with bathroom en-suite (either with bath, shower or both). The rooms are all equipped with double or twin beds, boasting comfortable mattresses, crisp linen, ceiling fans, air-conditioners, heaters, DSTV, electric blankets in winter and tea and coffee-making facilities. Cots, hairdryers and extra mattresses are all available on request.

There is a small pub and TV lounge to relax in after a hard day's traveling, as well as a sparkling pool to cool off in and a barbeque area where you can braai, lounge in the sun and get into the holiday spirit! Braai packs are available on request. We have secure, undercover, lock-up parking available as well as sufficient fridge and freezer space for your perishable items.

We offer an "English-style" breakfast in the morning, comprising a selection of cereals, fruit juice, bacon, sausage, eggs, tomato, yoghurt, toast and spreads and that essential bottomless cup of tea and coffee to kickstart you on your way. Breakfast is available from 6:30a.m. if you need to make an early start.

Colesberg offers a selection of restaurants, all close to Colesview, if you fancy a night out on the town! In fact there are 5 restaurants within 5 minutes of the guest house. If you are reluctant to move your vehicle and unhitch your trailer once you are settled into the guesthouse, your hosts will gladly drop you off and collect you from the restaurant of your choice. We also have an 'honesty bar'.

Colesberg has retained much of the charm of an early Karoo town and for such a small place has a remarkable number of national monuments. It was also the scene of considerable fighting during the Anglo-Boer War. For those interested and with a little time to spare, we can organise guided tours of the Colesberg/Kemper Museum, of the town or of the Anglo-Boer sites.
