Guesthouse for sale in Rhodes

A great opportunity and the first time this gem is on the market since establishment 30 years ago. The iconic Walkerbouts Inn is the backbone of tourism in this extraordinary historic village nestled in the southern Drakensberg, dominated by Ben McDhui, the highest peak in the Eastern Cape province and surrounded by pristine mountain streams. Located in an elevated position in Rhodes, this fully functional & well-equipped guesthouse has fine views across the village, the Bell River valley and the surrounding mountains. Well-established gardens are home to, amongst other plants, a selection of roses & hardy herbs. The front garden features a duck pond complete with ducks that is fed by fountain water which provides the ambience one looks for in a mountainous retreat.

Eight en suite bedrooms accommodate from 8 to 23 guests who are attended to by well-trained, skilled and committed staff. The Function Room is regularly used for conferences and occasional small weddings as well as being a special area for annual events. This successful business has stood the test of time and has an excellent reputation with guests returning year after year to enjoy the ambience, hospitality and fine country cuisine. The business is registered as a Close Corporation and for VAT which makes it an even more desirable proposition.

Alternatively, it could also be acquired and used as "a fishing shack in the mountains". Fly fishing in the surrounding area on more water than most can fish properly in a lifetime for both Rainbow trout and indigenous Smallmouth yellowfish will keep enthusiasts well-occupied!

There is much more information to be viewed on the Walkerbouts website as well as innumerable mentions easily found via the internet. Fly fishing information abounds in the Wild Trout Association website.
