Information about Dorpshuis
 
Williston is a charming Karoo town, situated in the heart of the Northern Cape, with neighbouring towns Calvinia, Sutherland, Fraserburg and Carnarvon. The town was founded as a mission station with the name of Amandelboom in 1845. In 1883 the name was changed to Williston in honour of the British Cape Colonel Secretary, Colonel H Willis. Sheep farming is the predominant industry, with locally reared Karoo lamb being widely renowned. As many farms are located far away from town, the custom was for farmers to have a town house (or "Dorpshuis") which they used when they came to town for business and church.

Our classic Karoo style town house has three bedrooms, which sleep up to six people. The master bedroom has a double bed and the two guest rooms each have two single beds. The fully appointed kitchen opens up into a relaxing open plan living and dining area. Views of the majestic Karoo landscape can be enjoyed from the dining room and front stoep. Other amenities include braai (barbecue) facilities, a garage and two covered parking bays.

The town and surrounding area has much to offer. The famous Tombstone Route, showcasing artistic tombstones chiseled from local sandstone, takes guests on a unique historic tour of the area. In winter time there is ample hunting opportunity on local farms. Golfers can try their hand at a round of golf on a unique Karoo style grassless golf course.
