The Whyte House

• Graaff-Reinet

During 2014 we came across and purchased an isolated plot with the most magnificent views of the Sneeuberg Mountains. We felt that this would be the perfect place to make our contribution to accommodation in Graaff-Reinet.

In 2015 we assembled a team of locals and started an owner built adventure.
From our Karoo farm , Ou Tweefontein, hidden 53 km away in the Sneeuberg mountains we sourced all the necessary poplar beams for the thatch structure, as well as the reeds which were used for the ceilings of the rooms.
All the gravel and sand was trucked in as well from our dry river beds. Finally in July 2016 the Whyte House was completed.
We look forward to giving all our guests a very warm welcome and endeavor to make your Karoo visit unforgettable!

TV and Fireplace available in our Guest Lounge, as well as a Nespresso Coffee Machine on our veranda.
