Company info

It has been a passion of mine to open a B&B one day! and so here we are....25 years later.

Property info

We decided to build this establishment in 2003 It was quite a challenge as it is in the mountain! It has taken a while but it is now completed and we are very happy with the result!

Neighborhood info

The Royal Palm B&B is ideally located for sight seeing in the area. This includes The Blydepoort River Canyon, Bourkes Luck Potholes, Pilgrim's Rest, God's Window, Old Mother Hubbard's Shoe and the Echo Caves. 90 km to Graskop. A number of waterfalls are located in and around these sights. There are smaller town's in the area. Ohrigstad itself does not offer much in the way of different restaurants but we have an in-house restaurant offering the basics.
