We paid our second visit to the Karoo Lodge in Prince Albert in February this year. Our first visit was January 2012 and on that occasion we were most impressed by the large airy rooms.and the comfortable king sized bed. Our room had a large terrace overhung with a grape vine and plenty of sitting room both outside and in.... More

Elsabe and George are quintessential hosts. they made our one evening stay very special. We had a big room and kids had lovely warm beds. The food was lovely and the breakfast one of the nicest in a while. George is a wizz int eh the kitchen and downplays his hard work.

Couldn't have had a better break - one believes the Karoo is such an out-of-the-way place, well our eyes were opened. Elsabe and George are the perfect hosts and bent over backwards for us. George - the chef - fed us so well. In fact we did not go out at night to dine in the 4 nights we were... More

Difficult to say, both are great and breathtaking and our cameras had to work hard. After so much excitement we arrived the Karoo Lodge. A very cosy place and the owners love what they do, which...

We arrived at the Karoo Lodge in the late afternoon and were lucky to get the last available room that night.  It was a charming room and extremely spacious with all the usual facilities we have come to expect in South Africa.  The sprig of lavendar, on the bed, added a nice touch to the other little touches in the...

Lovely spacious garden, large, comfortable rooms, excellent food and wonderful hosts (George and Elsabe). George does the cooking and his evening meals are well worth sampling and very good value. He is also a mine of information and will even point out the planets and constellations in what is usually an amazingly clear sky. We chose Karoo Lodge because it... More
