New owners, Jörg Grotegut and Petra Halstenberg, left the cool north of Germany to settle in Somerset West, near Cape Town. Years ago we fell in love with the breathtakingly beautiful country, the friendly people and the culture. We would now like to pass this on to our guests and ensure an unforgettable stay at SomerZicht.
We will gladly provide you with information on day trips to some of the most scenic sites in South Africa, book a round of golf for you or assist with restaurant and day trip reservations.
