Angler and Antelope guesthouse and B&B
The Angler and Antelope guesthouse and B&B is situated centrally in the town of Somerset East. The location of the guesthouse (B&B) makes access to the fishing waters around the town of Somerset East hassle free.Somerset East is a gem on the edge of the Karoo, with four biomes within 20 km of the town; Karoo, savannah, grassveldt and indigenous forests. The microclimate induced by the Boschberg mountain ensures that an unusual amount (for the Karoo anyway) of rain falls annually. This is great for fly-fishing enthusiasts, as it makes Somerset East an exceptionally good fishing spot for trout.The Angler & Antelope offers accommodation in Somerset East in a guesthouse (also known as a bed and breakfast) with seven bedrooms. The Angler and Antelope guesthouse (bed & breakfast) is graded by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa, as a 4-star guesthouse, and is also rated by AA Travel as Superior accommodation. Somerset East has only two 4-star, AA Superior rated accommodation establishments. The breakfasts at the Angler & Antelope are made to order at Hobsons Choice Deli on the premises, so if youre in a hurry, please ensure that you book your breakfast the night before.The Angler and Antelope property is centrally situated in the town of Somerset East and comprises three seperate buildings. The property is securely enclosed with ample off street secure parking, and an electric gate for access. The guesthouse (B&B) was built in 1893 as a residence, and housed only three families in 100 years. Next door to the guesthouse is St Francis, the culinary centre, which was built in 1906. St Francis is an old Roman Catholic church where you can relax, eat and drink. A fine selection of malt whiskies, apparently a favourite of the priests of the past, is worth sampling at Nigels Pub, in the church. The confessional is still in one of the vestries of the building, and is now a fully stocked fly fishing shop - it ensures that fishermen are honest about their catches! The presbytery is our new deli - Hobsons Choice Deli - a must visit when youre in Somerset East, for great fresh food. All of these buildings are situated within a huge indigenous garden.
