Karoo View Cottages

Description

JULIE & RICHARD would like to welcome you, your family and friends to their KAROO VIEW COTTAGES.

Our 4 cottages are uniquely positioned on an elevated koppie with magnificent views of the village, a 2 minute walk away, and the Swartberg Pass, and only 4.5 hours drive from Cape Town. 

Relax and unwind after your travels, with a sun downer on your private stoep or our boma overlooking the village, whilst watching the moon rising over the Swartberg, and relishing in the peace and tranquillity that surrounds you as the night’s sky draws your eye to the heavens as the sun sets. 

Wake up and enjoy your provided health breakfast provisions on your stoep, shared with Familiar Chats, Cape Buntings and various sunbirds, as well as being in the enviable position to watch the sun rising up over the Swartberg whilst listening for the call of owls before dawn.

Karoo View Cottages offer you luxurious self-catering accommodation in modern Karoo style cottages, with lots of extras, attention to detail, as your comfort is our priority.  Choose from our Kanon, Ferox, Krans or Striata Suites, each measuring 72sqm, with beautiful double volume natural reed ceilings, large window views, and individually decorated to compliment your surroundings.

“The name KAROO VIEW says it all” . . . A true Karoo Destination . . . which we would love to share with you.

Attractions

As the dawn awakens, draw back your curtains and what a sight to behold awaits you, like no other in our village, Your very own unique KAROO VIEW. 

Wake up and enjoy your provided health breakfast provisions on your stoep, shared with Familiar Chats, Cape Buntings and various sunbirds, as well as being in the enviable position to watch the sun rising up over the Swartberg whilst listening for the call of owls before dawn. 

Enjoy our natural stone Plunge pool, with lounger and umbrellas – a perfect way to end a summer’s day with your glass of vino or two. 

Enjoy the natural stone Boma with lovely large braai, equipped with all your firewood, firelighters, with our compliments, braai grids and utensils, and for those extra chilly nights a Mexican chimineya to huddle round, as well as 3 private braai and viewing spots, all individually designed to blend into the natural vegetation, equipped with your firewood and firelighters with our compliments. Braai grids and tongs also supplied for your use - really special to view our magnificent night sky to end off your Karoo day. 

A real treat to end off your Karoo day, is to take a short walk or cycle at dusk along our road leading into the far distance where you may be fortunate to spot a Karoo Hare, Tortoise, or a Spotted Eagle Owl perched on one of the farm fences and if you are very very lucky you may see an Aardvark, silhouetted against the setting sun.  

Braai Baskets consisting of  Karoo Lamb chops, Chicken pieces, Pork Chops,  Karoo Wors – like no other and Ostrich steaks when available. We also include; home baked bread, potatoes, onions, butter, salad dressing, assorted seasonings and various fresh herbs. You need only bring your refreshments. 

Shopping for your basic food provisions to stock your fridge and store cupboard. This will enable you to relax and unwind when you arrive. (Advise when making your reservation.)

Pick your own fresh veggies and herbs from our tunnel or scented garden, with our compliments, as nothing beats the “fresh and fragrant” taste and smell of ‘freshly picked’ straight from the garden, also a delight for the kiddies.
