Amazing hidden gem!!
We were welcomed by Joseph after very short notice honeymoon planning. To be shown to our chalet with a personalised message welcoming us with an amazing Karoo dinner.
Room was spectacular with breathe taking views and stars for days with the fire glowing alongside us. What an oasis.

We have stayed at a number of hotels since lockdown ended. This hotel definitely under performs in adhering to COVID 19 regulations. I saw just one hand sanitizer ‘pole’ in the restaurant, but not near entrance but on way to kitchen. Buffet in stead of table service, mgt did not wear masks till after my first review, staff was very consistent in doing that from the start. Tables/chairs were not wiped clean before next guests. No check in with contact details or temperature check. Many elderly people probably visiting, so not good policy in general. Too bad as location is excellent with view. Hope they clean up their act.

In the Karoo!
This lodge was great in every way (staff, setting, views, rooms, breakfast, dinner) and was perhaps the best of our entire tour in Western Cape. It is located in the middle of the Karoo, just east of Beaufort West and quite near the entrance of Karoo NP.

Game lodge
Nice game lodge but not an awful lot of game. The room was clean and comfortable and the garden/pool area was very nice. The waiters in the restaurant/bar were very friendly and helpful.
Food choices for dinner were a bit limited.

One Night Stay
The place was easy to find and well signposted. We had a warm, friendly and helpful greeting from Justin. Our room was clean and a good size with plenty of space for luggage. It had a large bed which was comfortable, together with soft linens. The bathroom was also a good size with toilet, sink, bath and shower. The shower had plenty of hot water and the flow was ok. Bath towels were large and toiletries also provided. The room had a refrigerator, tea/coffee station, TV, microwave and air conditioning. Wi-fi was available although given the location, it was a bit slow.
Our room opened out onto a covered pathway which overlooked the garden. The garden was lovely and there was a swimming pool with sun loungers where we spent the afternoon. There were also marked trails and cycle paths around the ranch, although we did not stay long enough to use.
Views from the breakfast room were spectacular - over the plain - and the mountains were behind us. We had dinner here which was delicious and breakfast which was continental with hot food cooked to order - again very good.
This is a beautiful old place, with large Victorian rooms, wooden floors, lots of paintings and comfortable furnishings. It is a bit rustic but very comfortable, with super views, lovely grounds and friendly staff. One night was too short, so will return.
