Accommodation is just what we do. Since our ancestor Thomas Hartly established the "Pig & Whistle" at Bathurst in the Eastern Cape during the 1800's, through to our Battiss family who run the Battiss Hotel in Somerset East, we provided accommodation from generation to generation, whether long- or short term, or simply taken a traveller under our wing for the night. We have moved with the times and our accommodation is modern, yet with a touch of period furniture and all the necessary comforts and necessities to create a home for you while visiting our area.
Altenburgh is situated in the historical village of Somerset East in the malaria free Eastern Cape, providing a midpoint gateway to major national parks, the Addo Elephant National Park, Mountain Zebra National Park, the Camdeboo National Park, the scenic Zuurberg Mountain Pass with breathtaking scenery and various tourist destinations. At the foot of the Boschberg mountain, with indigenous forests, where many athletic trails are run and exhilirating mountain bike races take place, we are within walking distance to the mountain drive and a short cycle to the gold course via our back entrance. Various other outdoor activities are available in the area for the more adventurous visitor i.e quad biking, 4 x 4 trails and game viewing to name but a few. Our gardens and surroundings are spacious, complimenting the vastness of the Karoo and you can almost touch the kaleidoscope of green on the mountain with visible waterfalls after good rains.
