Angler and Antelope Guesthouse

Angler and Antelope Guesthouse 4-Star comfortable accommodation in the heart of KwaNojoli (formerly Somerset East), Eastern Cape, South Africa. Have a look at our food offerings.

The Angler and Antelope is in the town of Somerset East. Close enough to the centre to be convenient, but far enough away to enjoy the quiet of a rural town. The location is perfect for the business traveler. However, expert fly fisher Alan Hobson with his infectious enthusiasm for fly fishing, makes this venue a must visit for all fishermen. You can book Alan to take you on a guided fly fishing e

xperience, and while you're here why not have dinner at the guesthouse, and pair it with some of the single malt whiskies on offer. Give us a call or send us a message to discuss your accommodation needs, lets see if we can help!

Alan had a client almost in tears... He walked into our Antelope room, and went straight to the wardrobe and hugged it! It is exactly the same as his grandfather's wardrobe, that has been passed down in the family and is proudly displayed in his brother's home.

This is what memories are made of! We've gone for nostalgic décor that reminds you of a warm and loving home.

It's June already! Winter has arrived, and it is the BEST time to visit the Karoo! Yes, it can be quite chilly, but we don't (generally) have rain in winter, and we have clear blue skies. So, if you follow the rules of the wildlife around, and sit with your back to the sun, it's absolutely perfect!

To make visiting us even more enticing, we're offering a winter special 😁. Stay two nights or longer during June and July this year, and get a 20% discount! Yup, TWENTY PERCENT! Pack those winter woollies and come on over.

This special is for direct bookings only, so pop over to www.anglerandantelope.co.za and click on our book now button.

We attended an AI workshop the other day. Imagine that, people are asking a computer where they should stay! Previously guests would search for accommodation on Google, and then weigh up the pros and cons of the offerings and make a decision; now AI makes the decision for them!

AI doesn't always get it right, but this time, it's spot on!

I tried desperately to get a good picture of this sliver of moon as it was setting behind the mountain, but the phone was not up to the challenge. Note to self, next time take a video!

When you sit quietly and listen, you'll pick up sounds that make you look around. This Cardinal woodpecker was extremely busy! Whilst we didn't catch it on film he was rewarded by a very juicy looking worm!

Come and stay and watch the birds for yourself. www.anglerandantelope.co.za

The owl is dead...again! We heard the rock kestrel yesterday, obviously rather upset that the dead owl was moving again. Seems they did a proper job this time!

Annabelle has a new obsession...whilst there are some things that always have to make an appearance on the menu, she loves playing around with other different flavours; and the flavour of the month is just a little spicy! This Cowboy Caviar is the perfect accompaniment to the beef bowls, with strips of either fillet or rump, and a touch of chimichurri to round it off. This is where dietary preferences come into play; if you can't do chilli, this one is not for you!

After hearing the Rock kestrel making a racket again, we noticed it sitting in the Jacaranda tree, watching the owl to see if it is in fact, dead... Seems it was satisfied for the time being that it managed to kill the predator!

Every now and then, we leave Sina in charge of breakfast, and head off to get stuff done. Last week we were in awe of the beautiful sunrise that our guests that work in Cookhouse and Golden Valley get to experience every morning...the one's that are up early and take a grab and go breakfast that is! We're reminded again that we do live in a beautiful part of the country!

So, do you think the fishermen would like some pickled vegetables instead of a green salad with their braai at the water's edge?

Annabelle is always trying to come up with different delicious goodies to keep them guessing. Don't worry guys (or ladies), she always runs it past Alan before he gives the okay to take it on his Wild Fly Fishing in the Karoo experiences.
