The Angler and Antelope property is centrally situated in the town of Somerset East and comprises three seperate buildings.   The property is securely enclosed with ample off street secure parking, and an electric gate for access.  The guesthouse (B&B) that was built in 1893 as a residence, and housed only three families in 100 years.   Next door to the guesthouse is St Francis, the culinary centre, which was built in 1906.  St Francis is an old  Roman Catholic  church where you can relax, eat and drink. A fine selection of malt whiskies, apparently a favourite of the priests of the past, is worth sampling at Nigel's Pub, in the church. The confessional is still in one of the vestries of the building, and is now a fully stocked fly fishing shop - it ensures that fishermen are honest about their catches!  The presbytery is our self-catering Fisherman's Cottage.  All of these buildings are situated within a huge indigenous garden, also offering ample secure off street parking.

The bathrooms at the Angler & Antelope are worth a special mention.  They are something to behold.  Each is uniquely decorated featuring double vanity, bath, shower and WC .  The underfloor heating is a must for the cold winters in the Karoo.  It's just wonderful walking into your bathroom on a cold winter's morning, barefoot, on the lovely warm tiles.
