About Annie's Cottage Guest House

Annie's Cottage offers Colonial comfort in a beautiful old manor house under ancient Jacaranda trees. We offer excellent luxury B&B accommodation and warm Namaqualand hospitality. Finalist in the 2009 AA Accommodation Awards and Highly Commended in the 2011 AA Accommodation Awards.

Annie's Cottage is a beautiful old manor house in Springbok, Namaqualand, at the foot of a rugged “koppie” where the first commercial mine in South Africa was started in 1852. Ideal as a stop-over between Cape Town and Windhoek or Upington, we cater for the discerning tourist and business traveller. Our bed and breakfast guesthouse is a 4 star, accredited pension and Finalist in the 2009 AA Accommodation Awards. We offer excellent luxury accommodation and hospitality, something the Afrikaner people are well known for.

When the old house was restored to its former colonial glory, ambiance and atmosphere was never forgotten and when modern comfort was added to its portfolio of assets the old world charm prevailed. Enjoy a cool afternoon in our oasis like garden filled with fantasy and little private corners under established Jacaranda trees, a lazy afternoon on our veranda with a book and something to drink or a fun filled day with the children by the swimming pool!

Classic little shops and restaurants are only 500 m walking distance to the old town and tourist information office and a lively central open market where a happy atmosphere invite all to stay a while.
