Bain's house

The moment you enter the guest house through the big double doors you are greeted by the unexpected sight of an indoor waterfall and fishpond. As the guests book in, fish inquisitively pop up for greetings. Immediately you feel at home. Even more so when your hostess shows you all the treasures to make your stay more comfortable, namely, the cozy lounge with the big fire place where you can sample our local wines, the verandah with the reed ceiling and the magical garden.

Sipping you first cup of coffee on the verandah, you have a view over the lush garden with a black swimming pool and the Orange River valley where the fish eagles circle the skies. Only 1km from CBD Bains House offers you peace of mind with a secure parking area. Our location makes your visit to Upington one of comfort, peace and quiet.
