Love Dahlias Festival Accommodation Douglas

Recommended Accommodation for Festival Week

These three guesthouses have partnered with us for the Love Dahlias Festival. They’re not only recommended places to stay — some workshops and festival moments will also take place at these venues, which makes them especially convenient for guests who want a smooth, easy week in Douglas.


Broadwater River Estate 

Broadwater River Estate is a peaceful riverside escape on the banks of the Vaal River, about 15 km from Douglas. It’s ideal if you want your accommodation to feel like part of the getaway: wide lawns, river views, open space, and a relaxed pace that’s perfect after full festival days. The estate offers a mix of rooms and self-catering options (including chalets/apartments) plus camping for guests who prefer an outdoorsy stay with solid facilities.

A big bonus during a busy week is the on-site Pont River Restaurant & Cocktail Bar — convenient, scenic, and an easy way to end the day without extra driving or planning.

Best for: Guests who want a “holiday” setting with river views and on-site dining.

The Last Eve Guesthouse 

Last Eve Guesthouse is a smaller, calm stay that feels private, neat, and thoughtfully done. It’s a great choice if you want quiet nights, comfortable rooms, and a simple base close to town and the river. The overall look is modern-rustic and clean, with practical in-room extras that make life easier when you’re travelling for an event.

Rooms are typically described as air-conditioned and en-suite, with useful conveniences like Wi-Fi plus small in-room facilities such as a bar fridge and microwave. Some rooms have private entrances, which is perfect for early starts, late returns, and a bit of personal space when the week gets busy.

Best for: Guests who prefer a small, peaceful guesthouse in town with practical comforts.

Villiera Guest House 

Villiera Guest House is one of Douglas’s best-known comfort stays: a spacious, garden-filled property with an easy country feel, a swimming pool, and a warm, homely atmosphere. Locally owned and family-run, it’s set up to make short stays effortless — especially if you’re popping in and out between festival experiences.

It’s also more than a place to sleep: several Love Dahlias Festival events will take place onsite, which makes it a wonderfully convenient base for the week.

And if you’re joining us on the VIP Festival Ticket, this is the guesthouse where VIP guests will be staying — close to the action, with all the comfort you’ll want at the end of a flower-filled day.

Villiera has 14 en-suite rooms (sleeping up to 34 guests), and many rooms open onto a veranda with private entrances — a small detail that makes a big difference during festival week. Another highlight is the on-site coffee shop, popular for cakes and light meals, and a very handy base for a gentle start (or a sweet reward) between plans.
