Welcome to Bains House, a 4-star guest house accommodation in Upington. Easily make a reservation today with TravelGround.com.

The moment you enter the guest house through the big double doors you are greeted by an unexpected sight of an indoor waterfall and fishpond. As the guests book in, fish inquisitively pop up for greetings. Immediately you feel at home.

Even more so, if your hostess shows you all the treasures to make you stay comfortable – the cozy lounge with the big fire place where you can sample our local wines, the verandah and the magical garden. The lounge leads onto an exquisite long verandah with a reed ceiling. Sipping you first cup of coffee on the verandah, you have a view over the lush garden with a black swimming pool and the Orange River valley where the fish eagles circle the skies.

Bain`s House is named after Major Bain, son of Thomas Bain, grandson of Andrew Bain. His grandfather Andrew was a road maker, bridge builder, geologist, adventurer, soldier, writer and artist. Add to this a large dash of humour and you have a good summary of this most noteworthy man. Andrew Bain was the ‘pass man’ – he built Michell`s Pass, Houhoek Pass and Bain`s Kloof.

Al the instruments that are on show at Bain’s House, had been found in the attic while being busy with restoration of the house. The fish pond and the water fall in the entrance hall were installed later to get more natural light into the house. With great struggle the owners brought the double doors to Upington from Cape Town just to discover that the doors actually belong to Garlicks in Cape Town. The Garlicks building in Adderley Street was a national monument and nobody had the authority to do any renovations on the building. The doors stood in the garage of the owners without anybody claiming them back. Later it was used as the entrance of Bain’s House. In our welcome letter Jane, his daughter, recalled pleasant childhood memories playing in the swimming pool – the first to be built in Upington.
