Info Summary of reviewsThe Lord Milner Hotel, nestled beside the N1 en route to Cape Town in the historic village of Matjiesfontein, exudes old-world charm and offers a tranquil, picturesque setting in the Karoo wilderness. This unique location, steeped in history, is a magnet for visitors seeking a memorable journey back in time.

Guests frequently praise the hotel's breakfast, which is described as superb and offering a diverse selection of continental and English options, contributing significantly to the overall satisfaction. The dinner experience is similarly celebrated with the quality and taste of the food, especially the well-prepared Karoo lamb, receiving high marks. The dinner service and the historical atmosphere of the dining room enhance this culinary experience, making it a highlight for many visitors.

The rooms are spacious, charming and filled with period furniture, though some detractors point out the need for updates and additional maintenance.

Wi-Fi performance varies with it being appreciated in some areas but reported as weak and sporadic in others. The pool is another notable feature, offering a relaxing and well-maintained environment despite some maintenance issues and lack of nearby drinks service.

The hotel also caters well to families, providing a nostalgic and enjoyable experience for both adults and children, while the bedding receives mixed opinions—though it generally ensures a comfortable sleep for many.
