Attractions
Kimberley, January 1900, Cecil John Rhodes writes: ``The 20th
century has dawned with Kimberley now three months under siege
during the dark days of the war. There is talk, that Daniel Greatbach
has been commissioned to build a home of great opulence that will
capture the spirit of Kimberley for the generations to come. A
place to which they will flock to relieve the intrigue of the
days when riches where won and lost in the quest for diamonds...``
Today Edgerton house has a place on the National Monuments Register.

Edgerton House boasts 13 luxury double rooms, 12 of which are
en-suite. Each room individually captures the spirit of well known
historical characters and the whole house is decorated in the
finest style reminiscent of the early diamond days. Each room

and tea-coffee facilities.
