At the Angler and Antelope, old world charm meets modern comfort. Located in the heart of Somerset East in the Eastern Cape of South Africa; this guesthouse is not just about the comfort of space, air-con, goosedown and mohair blankets.  This is a place that will make you want to return time after time. Here you can relax and be yourself. Alan & Annabelle's hands on approach make for some interesting topics of conversation around the breakfast or dinner table.

Sunbird Room

We love the bright colours in this room.  It has a garden facing view and is one of the coolest rooms in the summer months.  Most guests give the bathroom a wow, especially when they see the slipper bath.

One of our favourite features is the painting done by Alan's niece of the sunbirds in the garden.

  • Down duvets and pillows; cotton percale linen and mohair blankets
  • Work station
  • En-suite bathroom with bath and shower; double vanity; some toiletries supplied
