Walkerbouts is a spacious haven adjacent to the site of the first hotel that was built in the historic village of Rhodes. Rhodes is situated at the southernmost tip of the Drakensberg mountain range, 16km due south of the border with the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho.

Walkerbouts has six en suite bedrooms tastefully decorated with bold colours and furnishings to suit. Four of the bedrooms have showers and two have baths. It is one of only ten houses in Rhodes which can boast of having Eskom electricity and one of five dwellings which has satellite TV reception!

Guests are accommodated in five spacious bedrooms and a smaller "honeymoon suite" (ie with no place to hide). All beds are fitted with duvets as well as electric blankets to ward off the winter chill.

The dining room and lounge are heated by an open fire-place as well as an anthracite heater. The cosy pub, whose walls could tell many, many stories, if only they could talk, also has two wood-fired pizza ovens providing an alternative and adding another dimension to the wholesome country fare served in the dining room. More specialised victuals such as vegetarian meals can be prepared by prior arrangement.

It's relaxed and hospitable atmosphere makes it a home-from-home where well-behaved, disciplined pets are welcome by arrangement.

The village is 1860m above sea level. The streams and rivers are home to rainbow and brown trout as well as indigenous species such as the small and largemouth yellowfish, both great sport fish that can be caught on a fly. Fishing can be arranged on more than 200km of running water within an hour's drive of Rhodes that is located at the geographical centre of the fishery.

Other attractions in the area include horse riding, mountain-biking, birding, crafts, wing-shooting, hiking, rock art, 4x4 trails, Alpine and sub-alpine flowers in summer.
