The Angler & Antelope is charming. Alan & Annabelle are wonderful and attentive hosts and the area around Somerset East is spectacular. Alan assisted my husband and son with the best fishing spots and advice and made sure we discovered places that were enjoyable for the whole family. Annabelle's food is outstanding and the rooms are extremely comfortable. This is... More

It was by accident that we landed up in Somerset East after a tyre blow-out, but what a great experience it was. The booking was done while limping through to Somerset East at night and the very hospitable hosts were fantastic from welcoming us at our late night arrival, to getting the tyre place to open on a Public Holiday!...

Every year the Castle Gig Rig's crew is hosted by Alan and Annabelle during the Biltong Festival. It is the only place to stay in Somerset East and this year I took my wife and son along even though the weather did not play along during the festival. Fortunately I went on my second fly fishing trip (an absolute must),... More

What a gem of a place, and what a surprise to find a thriving community in Somerset East. The Angler and Antelope is just superb - totally unique in that the bar and dinning area are located in the old RC church on the property (deconsecrated in 2000) and the fly fishing shop is appropriately situated in the confessional wing...

What started out as an overnighter en route from Addo National park, turned into an excellent two night break. We wish we could have stayed longer. Alan, Annabelle and Matt made us so very welcome and the very spacious rooms, located in a tastefully converted, traditional turn of the century residence, were absolutely first class.

We booked the selfcatering Fisherman's Cottage as we have two small kids and needed the extra space. The decision was spot on. I don't know when last I had such a great sleep.
