Philippolis Groenhuis Guest House

Our carefully restored Karoo townhouses, the oldest of which dates back to 1890, can accommodate up to 20 guests in en-suite bedrooms.
Die Groenhuis is a perfect halfway house between Gauteng and the Cape. The quiet road (R717) from Colesberg via Philippolis to Trompsburg provides a shorter route than the N1.
Die Groenhuis is situated on the edge of town and evokes memories of being on a farm. Enjoy a late afternoon stroll and don't be surprised if you come across peacocks, buffalos and even rhinos roaming the land! Olden-day flowers such as roses add to the calm atmosphere and spirit of Die Groenhuis.
Relax on the wooden bench nestled on the stoep and savour the stunning view of the Karoo with its "koppies".
Walk barefoot in our garden taking in the lusciously green grass and smell the sweet aroma of our pear and lemon trees who are always grateful for the area's sporadic rainfall.
The irrigation reservoir has been stripped of its koi carp by overzealous feeding by the local stalks. When the rains come in January, the Vaaljapie (tractor) from 1956 will be used to prepare the vegatable garden for the new growing season.
