Situated in the tranquil village of Vanrhynsdorp, the Van Rhyn Guest House offers traditional West Coast hospitality and service. An ideal place to spend a few days exploring the surrounding area and discovering the richness and diversity of the West Coast, "Knersvlakte", Hantam Karoo, Namaqualand and its people. Victorian in style, the house was originally built in 1916 and still retains much of its original character and charm. We, your host Herbert and our staff, invite you to make yourselves at home and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of our lodgings. Besides offering warm hospitality and friendly service, our aim is to ensure that your stay will prove to be a memorable one.
Breakfast is part of our standard fare and dinner can be arranged by prior arrangement. Watched over by the majestic Maskam - part of the Matsikamma range - Vanrhynsdorp was founded in 1751 as Trutro (Troe-Troe). 1881 saw the name changed to the present one in honour of the Van Rhijn family for their invaluable contributions to the community. For travellers from the North (Namibia) and North East (Gauteng, Free State, etc) Vanrhynsdorp serves as an ideal entry and stop over point to explore the West Coast. It is also the gateway to Namaqualand, Hantam Karoo and the Cederberg. The village is accessed from the N7 (Cape Town - Namibia) or the R27 from Calvinia via the Vanrhyn's Pass through the Bokkeveld Mountains.

Vanrhynsdorp Reviews
Good location for overnight stop.
Nice quiet rural town.
We were flower hunting and it was a perfect place to do that from. Even though the weather was against us, we still saw lovely flowers.
All surroundings even with little bit of flowers!!
It has a nice new OK mini market for buying groceries and a butcher and bottle store all right at the entrance to the town and two petrol stations. There is a well renowned succulent nursery in town and a nice coffee shop.
It is situated on the knersvlakte with unique biodiversity and incredible succulents and flowers.
I would like to retire in Vanrhynsdorp.
