The main Victorian homestead (circa 1852) is luxuriously furnished in an understated style, with antiques and fine artworks by well-known South African artists. The house is surrounded by an immaculate rose garden which gives Rosenhof its name (meaning Rose House in Afrikaans). In the garden there’s a swimming pool, gazebo and plenty of roses, herbs and fine trees, providing a delicious cool retreat to return to after touring the Little Karoo.

Twelve spacious courtyard bedrooms, each decorated in Cape-Victorian style, are equipped with telephone, TV, air-conditioning, tea/coffee facilities and a small terrace. Two executive suites have their own plunge pools, separate bedroom and lounge and a private patio with peaceful views of the Swartberg Mountains. All rooms are suitable for disabled guests. The Wellness Centre offers a variety of relaxing beauty and health treatments, a fully equipped gym and sauna.

Dining at Rosenhof  is an elegant affair with traditional South African cooking served with flair. Additionally, a special emphasis is placed on ostrich of course, and the restaurant is supported by an extensive wine cellar. The restaurant has been awarded a Platinum grading (TGCSA). Breakfast is served in the sunny breakfast room overlooking the gardens.
