Why visit Avondrust Guest House and B&B

Best Features: Separate entrances into the garden and pool. Great position for sightseeing in town.

Bear In Mind: Position while perfect for seeing the town is more noisy than places in the suburbs. DSTV is communal. No kids under 12 please.

Things to Do and See

As this town is home to more national monuments than any other in South Africa, it makes sense to use of the perfect location of Avondrust and wander around the centre looking for these historical gems.

Reinet House which was once the Dutch Reform Church parsonage is now an enlightening art museum. Other places of interest are the Old Library Museum, Hester Rupert Art Museum (6th oldest church building), the Old Residency, and the Jan Rupert Centre.

If you have limited time make sure that you get up to the viewing sites and the Valley of Desolation overlooking the town. These are well worth the effort and even more spectacular at sunset, helped on by an ice cold G&T. Keep your eyes peeled for game on the way there.
