Our Story

A Legacy Since 1891

The Gables is the oldest standing house in Middelburg, built between 1890 and 1896. Steeped in history — from serving as a British military hospital during the Boer War to sheltering a general — it is now a cherished guest house run by the De Villiers family.

Located in the historic Groenkol area, we offer 8 beautifully appointed rooms just minutes from Middelburg Mall, major schools, and with easy access from the N4 highway.
