In 1870 Edward Button & James Sutherland reported the discovery of gold in the Murchison mountain range.

However, it was only later in 1886 to 1888 that a gold rush started in Leydsdorp, when the area was declared public diggings (Selati Goldfields), by the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republic & the laying out of the township-Leydsdorp.

By 1876 syndicates & companies started acquiring blocks of claims (Pelgrimsrest, Kaapse Hoop, Babberton area). The heydays of individual diggers had passed. It was time for the diggers to search for new pastures in the Northern parts of South Africa.

Sensing the end of the small-time operation; French Bob (Augusta Robert) led the last rush in South Africa, of the old-time diggers to the Murchison Range in 1888.

His Camp becomes the site of Leydsdorp.

Named after the state secretary Dr Willem Johannes Leyds.

The Yield of the gold in the area was disappointing. Water was not easily obtained, the death toll was among the highest in South Africa. Malaria, sleep Illness, scurvy, bar fights and lion attacks were some of the main causes of death.

Leydsdorp was an unforgiving place, a self-serving place that took more than it gave—scattered with unmarked graves & lost dreams.

Everyone that came to Leydsdorp either paid with their lives or their livelihoods.

The last of the old school diggers gravitated to more profitable fields, the then capital of the low-veld, Leydsdorp's decline was set in stone and by 1924 it was practically dead.

The Hotel was Established in 1891

Old school Victorian colonial mining meets isolated African farm a grandeur room greets you. The Hotel’s Historical structure, dating from 1891, was restored as best as possibly could, staying true to the original style & character. The famous dining hall still boasts its original high pressed ceilings & wooden floors, giving an ambience of a time long forgotten. For those seeking an entire experience of yesteryear!

The menu is unpretentious, good tasting food is freshly made

The "Dickinson Bro Pub" is a quint place, where one can quench your thirst in the unforgiving heat of the Limpopo's sun.

For the brave at heart, a visit to the cellar. that once kept food, beverages and the departed, is a must: Some people will be glad to know, that we no longer keep food and beverage refrigerated in the cellar...

Ten fully furnished air-conditioned en-suite rooms are available. With satellite TV, WiFi & coffee station.
