Van Zylsvlei B&B is situated 6km north of Colesberg on the right hand side of the N1 highway. It is a small farm with very safe overnight accommodation and plenty of open spaces where the kids can enjoy themselves without the concern of parents. The bed & breakfast is located just outside of town, where no traffic will spoil the quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
You can enjoy staying in a thatched rondawel or family rooms, which all have en-suite bathrooms. As new owners we are busy upgrading and renovating the premises, so we hope those of you who have been here before will appreciate the changes. Van Zylsvlei B&B also has 6 caravan stands with power points and lots of space if you would like to stay overnight in a tent. We serve breakfast as well as dinner in our lovely thatched dining room (the karoo lamb is a winner). Braai (barbecue) facilities are also available. During winter, our cosy fireplace is lit in the spacious lounge area. You can have a drink or relax in our popular bar or take a swim after a long drive.
If you are interested in hunting, we are ideally situated for your perfect stay, where you can participate in hunting activities just opposite the road. At Van Zylsvlei B&B you will be greeted with warm and friendly karoo hospitality and will enjoy a peaceful and quiet overnight stay. Your friendly hosts Deon and Annalie Dohne look forward to welcoming you!
