Van Zylsrus Hotel

The Van Zylsrus Hotel, previously known as the Gemsbok Hotel, is situated on the banks of the dry Kuruman River. It has been fully restored and offers guests a comfortable stay in this boutique hotel. The hotel provides accommodation options including six en-suite rooms, a Family Room, and a Honeymoon Suite. Three of the en-suite rooms are furnished with double beds and have full bathrooms, while the other three have single beds and bathrooms with showers only. The Family Room is furnished with a double bed and two single beds, and also has an en-suite bathroom with a shower.

The Honeymoon Suite features a private garden with an outdoor heated shower and is furnished with a double bed. All rooms are equipped with air-conditioners, TVs, hairdryers, and tea and coffee facilities. Guests can enjoy their meals in the beautiful dining room or on the spacious patio, where the arid Kalahari heat is tamed by several outdoor mist coolers. On hot days, guests can cool down around the swimming pool, sip a cocktail in the shallow water or at the bar. At night, guests can enjoy good wine and a tasty braai around a crackling fire in the private boma under the stars.

The hotel has a conference facility that caters for a minimum of 10 delegates and can double as a rendezvous for a team building weekend. The curio shop offers guests the opportunity to purchase reminders of their stay, which have been created by local Kalahari inhabitants. Weary travelers can also indulge in a relaxing massage from a qualified therapist.
