DORPSHUIS
Self Catering House Accommodation
in Williston, Hantam Karoo & Upper Karoo,
Northern Cape, South Africa
Williston is a charming Karoo town, situated in the heart of the Northern
Cape, with neighbouring towns Calvinia, Carnarvon.
The town was founded as a mission station with the name of Amandelboom in 1845.
In 1883 the name was changed to Williston in honour of the British Cape Colonel
Secretary, Colonel H Willis.
Sheep farming is the predominant industry, with locally reared Karoo lamb being
widely renowned. As many farms are located far away from town, the custom was
for farmers to have a town house (or "Dorpshuis") which they used when they came
to town for business and church.
Our classic Karoo style town house has three bedrooms, which sleep up to six
people. The master bedroom has a double bed and the two guest rooms each have
two single beds.
The fully appointed kitchen opens up into a relaxing open plan living and dining
area. Views of the majestic Karoo landscape can be enjoyed from the dining room
and front stoep.
Other amenities include braai facilities, a garage and two covered parking bays.
The town and surrounding area has much to offer. The famous Tombstone Route,
showcasing artistic tombstones chiseled from local sandstone, takes guests on a
unique historic tour of the area. In winter time there is ample hunting
opportunity on local farms. Golfers can try their hand at a round of golf on a
unique Karoo style grassless golf course.
