|  The
Antbear Guesthouse is a thatched, whitewashed
cottage built high on a natural platform overlooking
the Bushmans River and Giants Castle. This cottage
is a bit off the beaten track and is more of
an insider tip than just another bed and breakfast.
We cater for small intimate groups and never
have more than 10 guests at a time. It’s
a laid back, lovingly cared for kind of place
where you feel a sense of happiness and peace.
Honeymoon stays turn into anniversary commemorations
just as guests become friends. Even foreign
tourists return for a second and third taste.
 The
Antbear Guest House offers affordable accommodation
in the foothills of the KwaZulu Natal Drakensberg
near Giants Castle in South Africa. This guesthouse
is an ideal place to base yourself while you
discover the Drakensberg region of KwaZulu Natal
South Africa. We invite you to spend time here
and share some of our dream. We like to think
that the Antbear is a place for feeding your
soul and rekindling your spirit. Built in the
1940’s the quaint and charming cottage
puts its arms around you and reminds you that
there are things more important than everyday
life.
 The
name “Antbear” comes from its previous
resident who lived under the floorboards before
its restoration just a few years ago. It’s
filled with gorgeous hand crafted furniture,
wonderful wooden sculptures and a seemingly
never ending collection of artistic aspects
to discover.
 Plan
for slow and decadent dinners by candlelight
prepared by your hosts Andrew and Conny. Sometimes
it’s a Moroccan spread including a genuine
Moroccan tagine prepared on wood coals or maybe
it’s a surprise of just how delightful
Chinese food can be. Breakfast is served with
freshly baked bread and scones and often it
becomes a 2 hour affair.
There is plenty to do in the area too. Walks
in the Drakensberg mountains, visits to bushman
paintings, horse trails though a private game
reserve, canoe trips, canopy tours and the Midlands
Meander to mention but a few. Explore the activities
of the Drakensberg and Natal Midlands
So if your looking for a place where art, beauty
and time away are important then Antbear Guesthouse
is worth a second look.
