During the restoration (2003) of Die Groenhuis, former school principal Jens Friis must surely have thought that building anew might have been much easier. Restoration takes money, time, art and tons of patience! Having been used more for storage than accommodation for 40 years, there was not even running water or electricity in the building at Groenhuis Guesthouse. The end product justifies the effort however. The original wooden floors, ceilings and windows have been preserved as far as possible, lending an incredible sense of warmth. |

The grass grows lusciously in the garden. The pear and lemon tree are
grateful for the rainfall the area receives sporadically. When the rains
come in the new year, the lands will be ploughed by the Vaaljapie (tractor)
from 1956, and there is a possibility of growing mushrooms in the cellar.
As far as testimonials go, the following is a snippet out of the guest
book from a visitor from Holland: "Aangenaam verrast! Jij hoort de
stilte. Jij siet de schoonheid. En jij voelt de warmte van die mensen.
Bedank voor alle goede sorgen. Een aangename pauze tussen de drukte van
twee steden. Wat 'n rust!" Loosely translated: "Pleasantly surprised!
You hear the silence, see the beauty and feel the warmth of the people.
Thank you for all your good care. One pleasant pause between the pressures
of two cities. What a rest!"
Directions to Groenhuis Guest House
Especially during the holiday season, the R717 is an ideal alternative route to the N1. This tarred road is both quiet and 7 km shorter than the N1. Turn off at Colesberg or Trompsburg and avoid heavy traffic for about 120km. When in Philippolis follow the signs to Kimberley and Luck Hoff. We are the fourth last house on the right hand side before you leave the town of Philippolis. Groenhuis Guesthouse, 15 Koksfontein Street,
