About Walkerbouts Inn

Walkerbouts Inn is a spacious country retreat with comfortable accommodation in 6 bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities. The rooms have a wall-mounted panel heater and the beds are fitted with electric blankets to ward off the winter chill. Fine country cuisine, hospitality in the best traditions of the “Platteland” and a well-stocked pub is the order of the day. The relaxed and hospitable atmosphere makes it a veritable home-from-home where you can kick off your shoes and feel free to be yourself! Walkerbouts is located in the historic village of Rhodes which is situated at the southernmost tip of the Drakensberg mountain range, 16km due south of the border with the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho. The village is more than 1800m above sea level, located on the banks of the Bell River. The nearest town is Barkly East which is 60km away on a narrow and winding gravel road that must be driven with care. The unique nature of the architecture in the village finds it’s origins in the Victorian era and is a compromise between fashion, availability of materials and practicality. As of July 1997 the village was proclaimed a National Monument.
