"The food although plentiful was meh. Lodging was dark but loft was a neat addition. The staff were extremely polite and helpful. We went on safari 3 times including in one time in the morning which was incredible. This is a reserve that rescues animals at risk; perhaps that explains how few animals were present"

"Amazing location if you wish to disconnect from the city life. You’ll have to drive about 12km on a gravel road after you go through the main gate (this is where google map stops). I recommend a car with good ground clearance (Toyota cross worked great for me).
The night sky is very clear if you’re a stargazer and the SALT Telescope is about 45 mins drive.
The food is great and the cottages are clean and tidy.
They also have safari trips since this is a private game reserve.
It gets pretty...

"Eine Unterkunft im Nirgendwo.
Der Eigentümer gibt sich viel Mühe dem Gast einen schönen Aufenthalt zu ermöglichen.
Das Essen war gut zubereitet, die Tischdeko mit viel Liebe jeden Tag anders gestaltet.
Wir kommen wieder"

"Our biggest disappointment was the swimming pool and the area around it. It was the main reason we booked Karoo Life Bed & Breakfast. We really wanted to be able to spend time around the pool relaxing during the very hot days we were visiting. The pool was dirty and not cleaned once during our 3 night stay. The Kreepy Krauly pool cleanser hose was also left in the pool the entire time we were there which made it impossible to swim across the pool. It also wasn't working. The pool looks nothing...

"A fantastic location to enjoy or to use as a base for the wonderful Swatberg area. The round trip to Prince Albert was fantastic! The service is very friendly. The condition of the rooms was a little more run-down than expected based on the photos but still comfortable. As always, the generator noise during load-shedding can be a bit disruptive."

Le Petit Karoo
10/10 Excellent
"Tracy and Karen are living their dream and are happy to share it with us. Thank you both.
Le Petit Karoo is a beautiful getaway in the hills north of Oudtshoorn, a definite recommendation for anyone traversing the Garden Route. Combined with a Route 62 drive, this provides the perfect counterweight to the coastal drives. Add in a drive through the Merringspoort pass - stunning!
The relaxed vibe at Le Petit Karoo, complemented by the excellent meals prepared by Tracy, Karen and their team makes this your definite Klein Karoo base. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. "
"The accommodations at de Bergkant were fantastic, the breakfast exceptional, and the staff/host really outstanding!
Hope to come back someday, and highly recommend it!"
"Excellent place. Reserve terrific. Staff lovely. Good food.
Bed a little uncomfortable and as there is no fresh water, I felt free water should have been on offer.
But overall, everyone totally amazing and worth the trip. "

Old Mill Lodge, Working Ostrich Farm & Restaurant, Oudtshoorn
8/10 Good
"We choose to stay at this property as it gave us an overview of a working farm in Oudtshoorn. We stayed in a two bedroom modular home which was extremely quiet and nestled along the river. We did not have dinner there but did have breakfast. It was very good with a lot of options both cold and hot. "
