On the fringe of the Grand Karoo, the Lord Milner Hotel, the last authentic vestige of Victoriana, sits in all its past glory as a "must" stop on the N1 national highway linking Cape Town to Johannesburg and the northern part of South Africa. The Lord Milner's 58 guest rooms have been well maintained over the years and a high standard of service upheld.

The esprit de corps of the courteous staff, the clean crisp air and the warmth of the atmosphere surrounding the Hotel, makes for a relaxing and revitalising stay. A pond, fountains, a riverbed and beautiful lush gardens can be seen around the hotel and guest rooms. Along with the blood-red sunsets, remarkable fauna and flora and its age-old traditions, Matjiesfontein and the Lord Milner Hotel gives itself to the ultimate tranquil escape.

The Royal Lounge
The Royal Lounge portrays the lives and style of James Logan, famous historic personalities and servants who occupied it centuries ago. Origional furniture and antiques still feature, along its the immaculate condition and ambiance of age-old traditions.Amongst these timeless treasures is a harp, aged 150 years, a handmade jewelry case dating back to the 18th century and a portrait of the author and feminist activist, Olive Schreiner.
The lounge is open to all visitors. After dinner liqueurs and coffee is served here in an atmosphere of timelessness.    
 
The Dining Room
Located at the lobby level, over-looking the entrance of the Hotel, the dining room boasts the same historic ambiance found throughout Matjiesfontein. It is placed in a Victorian setting filled with period antiques, such as the antique clock - one of just three in the world. The unique wooden ceiling detail is supported centrally by a bronze sculpted pillar, a twin of the same pillar found at the Buckingham Palace.

Here breakfast and dinner is served by courteous staff. Our nationally reknowned Karoo Lamb Curry features on the lunch and dinner menus. The dress code for dinner is smart casual.
