The Bahnhof Hotel, originally built in 1906 and extensively renovated in 2005, has become a distinguished gem in the Sperrgebiet region, offering a unique blend of history, comfort, and exceptional service. The small town of Aus, where the hotel is located, is rich in history, dating back to German colonial times. Once a bustling hub for ox-wagon transporters and traders, Aus is home to remnants of a former POW camp and captivating stories of hardship, bravery, diamond rushes, and the arrival of the railway.
The hotel features 26 immaculately clean rooms, tastefully decorated in an elegant yet simple style, with private en-suite bathrooms. Guests enjoy a variety of delicious meals, cakes, and beverages, with the kitchen open throughout the day to serve freshly prepared light meals and gourmet à la carte dishes, along with a fine selection of South African wines. Meals can be enjoyed in the beautifully designed restaurant, on the sundeck, in the sheltered beer garden, or in the historic bar. The warm, friendly staff further enhances the welcoming atmosphere.
Guests can explore Aus and its surroundings through walking trails, sunset drives, and day tours. Key attractions include the remains of the South African-built POW camp, fortifications from the 1914 conflict between the German Schutztruppe and South African forces, and the Commonwealth Graveyard. Visitors can also observe desert-adapted feral horses at the Garub waterhole and explore nearby sites such as Kolmanskuppe “Ghost Town” and Diaz Point.
