The Star of David above the entrance raises constant questions from guests about the history of Kamieskroon Hotel. Joe Josephson and Max Schapera built the hotel in 1925 and also incorporated the Jewish date 5586 in the Star of David at the entrance.

  S.J.P. Stone (Fanie) bought the hotel in 1953 and managed it, with his wife, Maria, till his death in 1968. Their eldest daughter, Colla and her husband, Coenie Swart owned and managed it from then until Februay 1997. Since March 1997, their eldest daughter Maryna, and her husband, Helmut Kohrs, have been the proud owners of the hotel. Over the years the descendants of Fanie Stone have developed the small six-room country hotel into a well-known landmark in Namaqualand.
