The Kestell Hotel is 112 years old. It is a clean, comfortable, old fashioned and quirky country hotel. It comprises a pub, ladies lounge, restaurant, outdoor dining & braai areas and twelve rooms. The hotel is pet friendly (animals must be house trained and sociable)

The hotel is an ideal weekend get-away for smaller groups of people who want a stay tailored to their requirements e.g. cyclists, motor bikers, hikers, family reunions and other events.

Kestell is a very quiet little dorpie in the Eastern Free State. It is great for a weekend getaway, hiking, motor-biking, bird watching, geocaching, fishing or cycling.

It is an ideal stopover for business people, travelling between Bethlehem, Harrismith & Reitz on the road to Phuthaditjhaba & Qwaqwa (each about 30 minutes drive). 

We are 2.5 hours from Johannesburg and halfway between Bloemfontein and Durban.

Nearby tourist attractions include Clarens, the Golden Gate National Park, the Drakensberg Sentinel Peak, Lion’s Rock & Sterkfontein Dam.
