Recommended Guest House Full Service
Lord Fraser … the name itself evokes images of days gone by … of aristocracy and good living … of an atmosphere of old leather, fine cognac and times when life seemed easier and less complicated…

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 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 materialised 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 an 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 gardens 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 neighbouring Lesotho.
