Hanover is situated halfway between Johannesburg and Cape Town on the N1 and is an ideal stopover for weary travellers. The Karoo Village of Hanover is a great pit stop on the long journey between Johannesburg and Cape Town.Woman's
rights pioneer and famous author, Olive Schreiner, referred to this town as the prettiest village I have ever seen. The unrivaled ambience is provided by dusty streets and pretty historical buildings as well as the old furrows which still takes spring water through the town..
Our Church is arguably has one of the most beautiful church buildings in South Africa and also appears on several postcards.
Numerous historical buildings and monuments are within walking distance. Your walks will lead you to many historical sites, Guest Houses, Restaurants, our Hotel, up Trappieskop - a magnificent view site of the village, and many a artist can be visited on your tour. Hanover is visited by 12 000-odd Lesser kestrels from Russia in summer.
Star gazing under the karoo skies are an exceptional experience. Here we are able to count the stars and not the cars.The milky way is nowhere to be seen as clearly as in the Karoo.

  • "Review on Bun Clody Guesthouse, Hanover"

    23 January 2017

    "The best food ever! Proper full English Breakfast in the mornings, served in a beautiful garden. The Dinner is a traditional Karoo cooked meal like my grandmother used to cook. Pumpkin, lamb, rice, cauliflour. Beautiful garden and there were even a family that brought their two large breed dogs along. Had a good little walk through the small town and saw a small holding with various animals as well as a Standard Bank ATM. Will certainly be back. Lot's of mosquito's but I had peacefull sleep and kept the windows closed and luckily there was an aircon. Little fridge with coffee in the room. Separate bathroom with shower, toilet and basin. Save parking. Tossie and her husband and staff are very friendly and accommodating and really goes out of their way to cook for a king! Pet friendly. Good old Afrikaans people who goes out of their way to set the tables in the garden and even bring ice cream and chocolate sauce after the main course."

    05 January 2013

    "A home away from home. Tossie and Danie Stander are by far the best hosts of any B&B we have stayed at in SA and abroad! They made us and our little dogs feel so welcome. You enjoy true Karoo hospitality at an establishment that is beautiful and homely. Their evening dinners keep guests and locals coming back for seconds. And their staff are the most friendly and helpful. Bun Clody is a real Karoo treasure and a diamond in the town of Hanover. We look forward to our next stay with the Stander's."
