Our overnight stay was exceptional! The attention to detail and top-notch service is clearly evident at his hotel – a typical old-world style – don’t expect modern –we enjoyed the yesteryear feeling with comfort and top notch service. The breakfast was a standout feature, offering freshly prepared Karoo boerewors, eggs cooked to perfection, and homemade bread (amongst others). Dinner was equally impressive, showcasing authentic Karoo fare. The bobotie was traditional, the lamb chops were tender and flavourful, and the steaks (looked delicious from others that ordered them). Portion sizes were generous, and every meal was served with a smile and a touch of love. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully appointed, making our stay relaxing and enjoyable. A special mention must go to Elsabe, the super host who made us feel truly at home. Her impeccable hospitality and willingness to go the extra mile added to our wonderful experience. The lovely pool was a delightful retreat—a perfect spot to cool off and unwind. We can't wait to return!

The room was clean and in an exceptional condition. The bathroom was perfect as well. We were still on the road and couldn't check it at the allocated check in time. We were given a courtesy to find out what time we would be arriving and there was someone waiting to check us in, albeit quite late in the evening. Thanks a MILL for this, much appreciated !!!

This is probably the 3rd or 4th time I stayed here. It has become my default stop-over when travelling from Johannesburg to Cape Town. It's a full day's drive from Jnb, leaving me with only a few hours of driving the next day. The rooms are well out of earshot from the main road, and the quiet and tranquility after a long drive is amazing. I saw a giraffe right in the road as I was driving to my cabin, and the next morning there was a little Springbok on the lawn having its breakfast when I woke up. It is also only ten minutes from Beaufort West, so good dinner is always within easy driving distance.

The stay was amazing, we were very happy with everything. We've stayed here 3 times now and we will definitely be coming back. I would suggest putting some bug spray in the rooms in case one encounters a spider and some spoons with the coffee mugs (I think there are usually spoons, we just didn't see any on our last stay). As less of a priority they could slowly start replacing the pillows.

The property was absolutely perfect for our stop over from Joburg to Cape Town. Wifi was great, facilities provided were clean & organised & being pet friendly made the stay for my GSD comfortable which meant his Mom could relax. The staff were friendly & welcoming & I have shared my experience at ‘Die Herehuis’ with family & friends who also travel the Joburg to Cape Town route regularly.

What a gem of accommodation we came across. Situated in the quaint town of Prince Albert. Tracey was fabulous in organising dinner for us and was so helpful and knowledgeable. Accommodation was just lovely and who else offers 4 swimming/splash pools. Breakfast was first class set menu/with egg choices. I have no hesitation in recommending this property

Exceeded our expectations. Very well maintained, really kind staff. Chalets nicely decorated and practical amenities. Lovely pool area with towels provided. Great braai areas, both at the chalets or for bigger groups. Saw quite some animals and did a nice (bumpy!) ride to the Dam Lookout. Kids (4&5 years) loved it!

History behind the town and the location is great. Makes the following day's travel short and gives you time to stop along the route at the other towns. Recommend travellers book Beaufort as part of their trip.

The village is charming and typical of a Karoo town. Two nights and a day to see everything is adequate. It's preferable to choose accommodation in the village allowing one to walk to the various places of interest.

It was lovely to be part of an awesome and rich history and to explore the museum, transport museum and the whole little town - so very interesting and one can walk through the whole town within an hour! The Hotel and pub were outstanding with their meals. It was great to go on the world's shortest tour on the red bus. It is full of such an interesting history and everything makes one feel that one is back in the 1800's but at the same time it is a peaceful town where one could truly "rest"! Unfortunately we didn't see/hear any ghosts and we were not able to see inside the Courthouse, Pink Chapel, Logan's Tweedside Lodge and Schreiber's cottage! We also couldn't find the cemetry.

A quaint and quirky little town in the Karoo, famed for its terrible flash flood in 1981, which killed 104 residents, and all but wiped out the town. We tried to visit the Flood Museum but it turned out to be closed on Friday afternoons, which was exactly when we went to visit it. The Grand Hotel was wonderful! We had the best pizzas ever there on Friday evening (pizza night!) and it was such a friendly place. We were in Laingsburg for the Laingsburg Karoo Maratohn, a delightful low key running event thought the truly spectacular stunningly beautuful scenery of the Karoo. We loved it!

Uniondale was the centre point of our journey distance wise - so convenient . Also we had not been there before so it made an interesting stop over. Scenery was stunning and the road excellent. Hotel built in 1832 (I understand). Uniondale is about 14 kms off main road and entry and exit are through two mountain passes which were most attractive.

Travalia is a little oasis in the Greater Karoo, just when your trip is too long this little jewel appears on your horizon. Apartment was clean and had all the facilities you need. If you don't want to braai under your nice veranda, you can make a booking at the restaurant. Or, if you want to braai under the Karoo milky way, you can order in advance a good braai pack, salad and "braaibroodjies". For breakfast you can make use of the Travalia Padstal where you can enjoy a traditional breakfast or a variety of pies. The shop stocks also Karoo lamb packs as well as many treats and gifts.

Merweville is a beautiful town! Friendly community.

Merweville is a beautiful town! Friendly community. The town is very clean and neat. The best coffee and breakfast at Die Boekklub with a shop to buy presents for family at home. There is a nougat factory as well - Karoo Blessings, unfortunately they were closed when we passed through, but we could find their yummy treats at "Die Boekklub" in town. The Graveyard is well looked after, we visited a family grave and we were very impressed! Everywhere you drive, people will greet you with a friendly smile! It gives you a warm feeling of caring! Loved the town.

Wonderful location, beautiful renovation of old house.

Wonderful location, beautiful renovation of old house. Extremely well equipped kitchen and wonderful braai area. Be aware that the kitchen and braai patio are communal. There is only a kettle and microwave in the bedroom. The rooms are upstairs, all luggage must be carried up. Rooms are spartan except for very comfortable bed - no wardrobe, tables, chest of drawers. Shower is modern, spacious but not hot water. Beautiful walks on farm, peaceful and extremely restful. Fan in bedroom, insect repellent, but no heating facilities.

Prince Albert is a beautifully well kept and maintained small Karoo town at the foot of the Swartberg Pass. With many accommodation options, a number of really good restaurants and coffee shops, and art/curio shops, it is a wonderful place for a long weekend break, or an extended stay when passing through. We stayed at the Olive Thrush Cottage, just a short walk from the Main Street, and it was very peaceful and comfortable. We ate at the Rude Chef restaurant for dinner - very relaxed and with great food and a great vibe. The Swartberg Hotel is across the street is also excellent, with a groovy gin bar and very nice coffee shop. Walking around Prince Albert is the way to see the town properly, and visitors should include the short traverse up and along the Robert Gordon Koppie ridge walk which give amazing views of the surrounding mountains and of the town. It's an easy and short climb with a well marked path - highly recommended. When heading south from Prince Albert, we recommend taking the Swartberg Pass for the views - it is gravel and a bit steep in places with tight hairpin bends, but can be taken in a normal car - no need for 4x4.
