A quaint and self-contained village nestled at the fringe of the great Karoo mountains, Matjiesfontein is rich in history and old-world charm.

We are delighted to welcome the newest member of our Matjiesfontein family, Daniel Taljaard, Hotel Manager and Events Coordinator.

Winter isn’t coming, winter is here and it has definitely hit the Western Cape in all its white glory.
You can imagine how delighted we were (enough to bring out our inner child!).

Whether you’re a traveller on the move, indulging in a weekend getaway, enjoying a family holiday or hosting a wedding or function, Matjiesfontein can cater to all your accommodation needs.

This quirky town can accommodate up to 97 guests, with ample variety to choose from – there is a room for everyone!

To visit Matjiesfontein is to take a step back in time; we’re taking a trip down memory lane and are calling on you to help us complete the My Matjies Memory yearbook and showreel! We’ll fill the photobook and showreel with your memoirs so that this charming town can tell its own story.
