Walkerbouts Inn Rhodes

If you're looking for a homely retreat in the heart of the Eastern Cape Highlands, Walkerbouts Inn in Rhodes is an absolute must-visit. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and genuine hospitality that immediately made us feel at home. The surroundings are simply breathtaking – the perfect mix of serene mountain beauty and rustic charm. The large, comfortable rooms were a highlight, offering everything needed for a restful stay. After days spent exploring the area, it was wonderful to return to such a relaxing and inviting space. The service here is impeccable – attentive and friendly without being overbearing. The food deserves a special mention as well: hearty, delicious meals that perfectly complemented the homely atmosphere. And don’t miss out on spending an evening in the bar! Its unique, cosy vibe and character-filled decor made for some truly memorable moments. Walkerbouts offers a little bit of everything: comfort, charm, and an authentic South African experience. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful getaway with great food, fantastic service, and stunning surroundings.

Although we stayed at another selfcatering facility in Rhodes during our visit to this exeptional beautiful part of South Africa, we asked around for a restaurant that serve Trout. Trout fishing is one of the main attractions for the region. We ended up at Walkerbouths Inn and met the legend Dave Walker himself. Although Trout is not standard on their meal menus, he immidiately agreed to prepare Trout for Dinner. Dinner was indeed prepared in person by Dave while we relaced in the lounge with some good reads. A very special dish was prepared indeed. This was without doubt the best Trout I ever had. I ended my meal with a traditional Malva poeding which again was made superbly. If ever in Rhodes, a dinner at Walkerbouts Inn (if not staying there) is highly recommended.
