Int. Tel: +27 51 924 0585 | AttractionsThe name of the flat, 'His Majesty's Quarters', is a lighthearted reference to the visit of the British Royal Family to the estate in 1947 - no, unfortunately the King did not sleep here, otherwise you would be paying by the hour!
The flat is situated on the top floor of the historic Mons Ruber Wine Tasting Venue and used to be part of the little rural hotel 'Rietvlei' which existed since the mid 1800's.
This site was an important one as two main roads - one from George and the other from Oudtshoorn - joined immediately in front of the building and consequently a tollgate was in operation there . The mail coach en route to Beaufort West exchanged horses here. This led to the existence of a 'smithy' on the premises, the remains of which unfortunately no longer exist.
