Alan & Annabelle Hobson
Somerset East is a quiet rural town. If you're looking for shopping malls, this is not the place. However, if you're looking a for safe, beautiful area, you've come to the right place. The Angler and Antelope is situated in the town, and is enclosed to ensure guest's privacy. We are walking distance from the centre of town, as well as the Walter Battiss Art Museum and walking is safe. There are also walking routes on the mountain, so that guests may enjoy the great South African outdoors.
