Company information

''Bastion House is our lifestyle and like guests have written in their reviews, they become dear friends after a few visits,'' Johannes and Antonette Basson, owners of Bastion House say. We are 100% involved regarding the check-in experience, ongoing developments and serving meals. Johannes grew up on these very premises and we are proud to continue the legacy that has been built by his parents. The new beauty salon and vintage car rides are but two of the tasteful additions to make a guest's experience even richer when staying at Bastion House.

Property information

Bastion Guest House, originally the home of the Basson family, was started in 1996 and evolved from a single guest room to the current 8-roomed guest house with a small conference facility. The structural changes required for the transition to a functional guest house were developed and supervised by the architect who designed the original Basson home.

Neighbourhood information

Irene is rich in history and that is why we created the historic walking and cycling tours.
