Karoo Retreat
Karoo Retreat, Oudtshoorn, Western Cape
1 / 5Description
Karoo Retreat is a self-catering in Oudtshoorn, Western Cape, run by people who live there and know it well. On a working farm below the Swartberg, with old oaks, a dam you can swim in and a new stargazing deck. Guests come back for the quiet, the farm breakfasts, and the dark skies after dinner. Close by: the cango caves, the ostrich farms and a farm stall on the r62. There is enough to fill a few days and enough quiet to do nothing at all. Whether you are passing through or staying the week, Karoo Retreat makes an easy base.

The local area
The surrounding area rewards the curious: farm stalls and cellar doors, mountain passes made for slow drives, and trails that range from an easy amble to a full day on the berg. Clean air, dark skies and a pace that lets you actually notice them.

We didn't want to leave
Spotless, warm and quiet. The hosts thought of everything and the views at sunrise were unreal. We've already booked again for next year.

Perfect long weekend
Great base for exploring the area. Comfortable beds, strong wifi and an easy braai setup. Would happily recommend to friends.

Genuinely restful
The kind of place you come back from actually rested. The pool was a highlight and the directions provided were spot on.
