Die Letterhuis
Where beauty is the ink in which Love is declared
(Fully equipped for self catering and has an outside braai)
Kindly see 'Book now' link for prices and availability
The quaint but proud lady from the Victorian era has been lovingly restored. The inside walls have been brush lettered in a
uniquely designed alphabet and original calligraphic pieces by international and national lettering artists are displayed on the walls. Crisp linen invites you to bed in summer and
warm duvets invite you to linger longer in winter.
Die Letterhuis is situated between more than 33 letter art installations in the Karoo landscape along the breathtakingly beautiful riverside
in the Poplar woods. You are most welcome to come and experience God's beauty.
'n Liefgehêde, eeu oue Viktoriaanse dame met kwasgeskrewe liefdesbriewe en kalligrafiese skilderye teen die mure tussen letterkuns wat
in die landskap wegkruip. Kom word stil en geniet die Godsmooi binne en buite die Letterhuis
