Lord Milner Hotel

I loved the vibe and the food was fabulous—nothing to complain about.

“Lovely venue, utterly spoiled by Rovos Rail.”

It feels like the colonial era it was built in, picturesque and well kept, the staff were lovely and the value was great… but we were woken around 04:00 by the Rovos Rail trans‑Karoo train parked right outside our room in the so‑called “annexe” next door, and its engine ran all night until it left after 10:00! It was like staying in the middle of a construction site—an unrelenting vibration in our heads. We’d been “upgraded” to the annexe on arrival, thinking we’d get a perk, but it felt like a sick joke. We told the manager, who said Rovos hadn’t informed him they were coming and that they should have turned off their diesel engines; he added that Rovos isn’t affiliated with Lord Milner, so he couldn’t give a discount or refund for the distress and exhaustion we endured. I’m still waiting for a reply to the email he claimed he’d sent to the Rovos manager about my complaint.

A historic landmark, a quirky stop worth visiting—clean, great food, a fascinating location, and perfect for families.

“Disappointing, would be my view.”

The food saved the place; dinner was excellent and breakfast really good, but after having been here twice before a few years ago and it being the highlight of that trip, this time the place felt neglected, especially the exterior, and clearly needs maintenance. There’s a community across the road and at the railway station that likely rely on this establishment for their livelihood, so maybe they could get more involved in keeping the property up to date.

“ALways a special experience - red bus trip, so part of the stay”

The breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of options.
