Desert Rose Guest House

Springbok

Guest house, Self Catering

(7 rooms)

Desert Rose is a guest house situated in the heart of Namaqualand & Springbok. The house is aimed at the upper market with reasonable rates. Your hosts, Piet and Maralynn van Zyl, are open hearted and friendly Namaqualand people and will go through every effort to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

The town of Springbok has a rich history of copper that dates back to the time when the land was inhabited by Nama speaking people. They heard about the European people that settled in the Cape of Good Hope and travelled down to Cape Town in order to trade with copper. Simon van der Stell commanded an expedition in 1685 to look for the copper mountain. Commercial mining started in 1852, but recently all the copper mines closed down as they were mined out and it is not economical to carry on mining.

Being the biggest town in the area, Springbok supports the farming community of Namaqualand and the diamond mining industry along the West Coast. The annual spring flower splendour is busy losing its pride as being the main tourist attraction, the area offers so much more in the sense of wide open spaces and beautiful scenery with the granite out crops that converts to lilac colours at sunrise and sunset.

Please note:
- Children under 12 stay free with parents/adults.
