    The staff at Matoppo are always so friendly when we visit. The atmosphere is very homely and facilities are great. The location of Matoppo is really easy to find as it's a side-road away from the N1. Would definitely recommend for others travelling.

Property information

Matoppo ‘aan de wagenweg ‘ is one of Beaufort West’s most beautifully restored drostdy buildings, dating back to the 17th century and is situated within a sprawling, lush garden estate in the heart of the Karoo. This guest house is an urban sanctuary with a romantic heritage, a unique sense of style and a commitment to service excellence. Whether traveling through the Karoo for business or leisure, Matoppo Inn is an elegant oasis which offers luxurious accommodation in the peace and serenity of a spacious Karoo environment. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in a dining room which dates back to the 1830's. High wooden ceilings create an ambience of yesteryear and large sash windows allow crisp Karoo air and sunlight into a room where magnificent dinners, state functions and balls were once held on the gleaming yellow wood floors. Karoo cuisine can be enjoyed in the courtyard or in the privacy of your own air-conditioned room. Chefs prepare a 3-course meal. Dinner bookings essential prior to arrival.
