Vyfster accommodation is housed in Britstown's Old Jail which was built during the late 1890's. It is believed the facility was used to house some of prisoners during the Anglo-Boer war. Engraved names and pictures can be seen carved into the granite stone blocks. During the renovation process, which took place between 2017 and 2018, as much as possible of the original fittings were kept without detracting from a comfortable stay.

One of the old jail cells has been tastefully refurbished and decorated to offer guests comfortable accommodation. The unit is furnished with a queen-size bed and features an open-plan bath and shower.
A fireplace and guest lounge is located within the building and secure parking is offered for guests.
