Guests have access to their very own private open plan unit with en-suite bathroom and well-equipped compact kitchenette. Each guest unit has a little outside seating space. The entire garden area in front of the units and the braai facilities are for the enjoyment of all our guests. Space to find a quiet relaxing corner, or for the little ones to play and work off excess energy! A brand-new splash pool is available for a dip or to unwind alongside after a busy, warm Karoo day 🙂
We will gladly help with reservations at restaurants nearby if you’d prefer not to cook or prep food. Alternatively, we provide free wood and firelighters and will gladly light the braai for you!

Area Info
Established in 1786, Graaff-Reinet is the 4th oldest magisterial district in South Africa and is called the “Gem of the Karoo”. This beautiful heritage town is the only “dorp” in South Africa that is virtually surrounded by Camdeboo National Park, which is home to the world-renowned Valley of Desolation.
The town has over 220 heritage sites, more than any other town in South Africa, many of these being private dwellings. Graaff-Reinet is the ideal place to reconnect with yourself whilst letting the children play freely in a safe environment. Whether you choose to experience: a tranquil farm visit, wildlife viewing, exhilarating walks or cycling in nature, water sports on Nqweba Dam, a round of golf, or the joy of everyday life in this Karoo town through delicious Karoo food and hospitality; you can be sure you will leave with a smile on your face and wanting to return again.
