the flood of foreign tourists . After spending a night there , my mind would feel hugely different , and I would be enchanted by the place .
We received a very warm greeting from our hosts for the night at the prestigious Lord Milner Hotel . The place really is a slice of a bygone era , with a quirky charm . The hotel was either full or close to full and it really is nothing but a quirky gem in the absolute middle of nowhere .
A quick Google search on the website for the Lord Milner and I found myself smiling as I read . The place is simple , but sometimes , that ’ s all you need . The site mentions that , “ you can take a trip on the Old London Bus , let yourself be summoned to dinner by trumpet , soak up the history in the Transport or Victorian museums , take in the uniqueness of the Karoo with veld walks , hikes and mountain bikes , visit the Boer War British Army remount encampment site ( c . 1900 ) nearby , play a game of tennis , or simply relax , and read in one of the hotel ' s opulent lounges or by the residents-only pool .”
Fascinating stuff indeed . All the colonial talk made me long for a G & T . The area was kind of magical and a little mysterious . The hotel being the centre of the place .
