Company information

It has been a passion of mine to open a B&B one day! and so here we are....

Property information

We decided to build this establishment in 2003 It was quite a challenge as it is in the mountain! It has taken a while but it is now completed and we are very happy with the result!

Neighbourhood information

The Royal Palm B&B is ideally located for sight seeing in the area. This includes The Blydepoort River Canyon, Bourkes Luck Potholes, Pilgrim's Rest, God's Window, Old Mother Hubbard's Shoe and the Echo Caves.
