Background:
The meaning of the name:
Diamond,
The word Diamond is derived from the Greek word “Adamas” meaning “unconquerable and indestructible “. Because of the way they are formed, diamonds are the hardest substance found on earth. They have a melting point of 3547 degrees centigrade and a boiling point of 4827 degrees centigrade.
Rose,
The old English word rose comes from the Latin word rosa, which in turn was derived from ancient Greek, Italian and Persian dialects. The flower was held in high regard in those regions. In Greek mythology, the rose was a symbol of deep love and sorrow.
By combining the meaning of these two words the Guesthouse was named Diamond Rose a Guesthouse that says: “Like Home to me, the place to be”. Upon your stay with Diamond Rose, it will be our aim as a team to ensure your stay is enjoyable, welcoming, peaceful and time well spent in any capacity you might visit or stay with us.

Middelburg
Middelburg was established as Nazareth, (root from dry land), in 1864 by the Voortrekkers on the banks of the Klein Olifants River. The name was changed in 1872 to Middelburg to mark its location between the Transvaal capital Pretoria, and the gold mining town of Lydenburg. A Dutch Reformed Church was built in 1890 and became a focal point in the area. The British built a large concentration camp in Middelburg during the Second Boer War. The Memorial Museum was built at the site next to the 1,381 graves of women and children that died in the concentration camp.
