Company description
Attending trade shows such as Indaba, Hooked on Fishing, the Grahamstown Festival and many others on behalf of the local tourism industry, Walker was accordingly nicknamed "Walkabout" by Leon Isted, a late great friend from the farm Bidstone who is sorely missed. On establishing the venue, it was a natural conclusion that the name should a corruption of the nickname and be "Walkerbouts Inn - Rhodes". "Opstal" as it was known at the time, had been used by the founders of the Tiffindell Ski Resort in the early 90s until the fledgling resort could accommodate it's own staff on site. A process of upgrading the venue from this glorified backpackers state to it's current condition ensued. A major revamp took place in 1999 and was completed by June of that year. En-suite bathrooms were added
