"Driving into the village along its short main road on the left you will find a series of buildings.
They are the Losies Huis (Boarding House) the Coffee Shop, The Post office and Olive Schreiners House, The Laird's Arms and the Lord Milner Hotel.
Across the crossroad is the Reston Villa which has been turned into a Museum for old motorcars and trains from times past.
Opposite all this is the Matjiesfontein station where the Blue Train stops for an hour on its journey north and south."




The Cofee shoppe is open for breakfast and lunch ( 9am-5pm). Here, one is also able to tank petrol at the 1960s "Shell Petrol" pumps stand, until 5 pm. daily.
