GENERAL INFORMATION

Previously, Lord Fraser Guest House was the summer residence of the well-known, blind Lord Ian Fraser of Lonsdale. He was the chairman of the board of the once powerful retail business, Frasers Ltd., in Lesotho.

On his death in 1974 Lord Fraser wished his home to become the Ian Fraser Memorial College. After the closing down of Fraser’s Head Office in Wepener in 1988, the buildings were donated to the municipality to be converted into a museum. This never materialized and the property was sold to Willem and Wilna Swanepoel in 1993 and they have turned it at great expense into the present Lord Fraser Guest House.

In Keeping with the style of Lord Fraser we, the hosts and staff, are dedicated to making your stay a memorable and aristocratic experience. Upon arrival you are shown your beautiful suite where you will be able to relax from your journey, set aside the modern day stress and enjoy the luxury that is The Lord Fraser Guest House. You will enjoy drinks in the Stable (open under new management) or garden and take a cool swim in the pool.

On waking up the next morning, feeling refreshed and invigorated, you can enjoy a hearty farm-style breakfast ready to resume your journey or enjoy the attractions in the area or neighboring Lesotho.

Lord Fraser Guest House is a bed & breakfast and offers comfortable and homely surroundings,
spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, affordable rates and excellent service.

Conference facilities for 30 people available in a restful atmosphere.

Each double suite was carefully restored to its original style and tastefully decorated to create the authentic feeling. 12 Suites are available 8 Suites are in the old Fraser house.

Wepener is conveniently situated on the R26 about 64 kilometers north of Zastron and 100 kilometers south of Ladybrand. It is a convenient stop-over place for those traveling either to and from the Cape or Johannesburg, Natal and the Lowfeld.

Lots of tourist attractions are available within walking distance.  The beautiful town hall, the monument gate with prominent  statue of Cmdt. Louw Wepener and a few other attractions will impress.  The architectural NG Church that towers above the town is something spectacular.  The long steel bridge over the Caledon river, which is on it’s own a national treasure is also something to see.  The flood marks and consequences of the disastrous flood in February 1988 is still clearly visible.

There are also Anglo-Boer War battle sites in the region.

An image of the most important sieges, the battle of Jammerbergdrif can be seen
at the library.
