Previously, Lord Fraser Guest House was the summer residence of the well-known, blind Lord Ian Fraser of Lonsdale. He was the chairman of the board of the once powerful retail business, Frasers, in Lesotho. On his death in 1974 Lord Fraser wished his home to become the Ian Fraser Memorial College. After the closing down of Fraser's Head Office in Wepener in 1988, the buildings were donated to the municipality to be converted into a museum. This never materialized and the property was sold to Willem and Wilna Swanepoel in 1993 and they have turned it at great expense into the present Lord Fraser Guest House.
