What you should know about Matoppo Inn
This guest house is an urban sanctuary with a romantic heritage, a unique sense of style and a commitment to service excellence. Stark in its simplicity, it is one of Beaufort West’s most beautiful and impressive historical homes. Since it soon became the social hub of the town, Meintjies Street which leads to its door, was widened to 80 ft (24,4 metres), as wide as the main street, so that carriages could turn at the gate. Later the street became a bustling market place complete with smithy. Meintjies retired in 1857, but lived in his house until his death in 1866, when his son-in-law took it over. Piet was quite an admirer of Cecil John Rhodes who was buried in the Matoppo Hills of the current-day Zimbabwe. At some stage in its history Matoppo House became a sanatorium and later still it was partitioned off as a series of flats. This led to its decline and at a certain stage it was condemned to be demolished, but just days before this could happen it was rescued and restored.
