Our Story
Tucked away in the heart of Lindley, Free State, our hotel has been part of this small town’s story since the late 1800s. Once a simple stopover for travellers and farmers, The Lindley Hotel has quietly witnessed wars, celebrations, family gatherings and everyday moments.
Today, she stands restored and deeply cared for — not just a hotel, but a space where history meets heart. We have poured ourselves into this place because we believe people need somewhere to rest, to escape the rush of everyday life, and to feel held by something real and rooted.
Whether you’re here to explore, to celebrate, or simply to catch your breath, we hope you’ll feel the love and warmth we’ve built into every corner.

Our History
The Lindley Hotel has been part of this little town’s story for well over a century. Built in the late 1800s, it first opened its doors as a stopover for farmers, travellers, and traders making their way through the Free State. Over the years, the hotel has quietly witnessed history unfold — from the days of ox wagons and the Anglo-Boer War to the everyday stories of weddings, celebrations, and warm gatherings.
