Glorious jewel!

Beautiful place, in the heart of a glorious landscape. Spotlessly clean, completely laid back and perfectly equipped for a relaxed stay. Spend time here if you have it!

Asemrowend.

Dit was 'n absolute plesier. Die mense is so gasvry en die plek en uitsig is asemrowend mooi. Ons het 'n baie lekker nagrus gehad in die Karoo-stilte.

Breathtaking.

It was an absolute pleasure. The people are so hospitable and the place and view are breathtakingly beautiful. We had a very nice night's rest in the Karoo silence.

A beautiful jewel in the Karoo.

What an absolute jewel in the Karoo! Hosts went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Catering was superb. Beautiful surroundings, a place where you need to stay a few days to appreciate the beauty.

This really was a little gem in such an awesome spot.

It didn't bother us that it was 50 km on a dirt road, as the road was better than most tar roads in South Africa. Lovely people and great hosts. Highly recommend.

Lieflike verblyf en onmeetbare gasvryheid.

Ons was ontvang en oorspoel met gasvryheid deur die Theron-familie. Die chalet is stylvol uitgerus met elke luuksheid wat jy moontlik sal benodig. Sal beslis die bespreking van aandetes en ontbyt aanbeveel.

Wonderskone Karoo.

'n Plek om jouself weer te vind. Pragtige akkommodasie, skoon en netjies. Beslis nodig om meer as een dag daar te bly. Die eienaars is dierbare, gasvrye mense, wat mens onmiddelik deel van hul familie maak. Dankie vir 'n onvergeetlike ervaring.

'n Heerlike Karoo-ervaring.

Jules of the Karoo is tussen erens en nerens op in die Karoo, maar absoluut die moeite werd om die grondpaaie te ry om daar uit te kom. Die gasvryheid van Paula ken geen perke nie. Pragtige baie goedversorgde plek. Die braaipakkies en bykosse wat jy ekstra kan bestel was heerlik. Die Karoo vlaktes, stilte en biljoene sterre is presies wat 'n mens nodig het om van die stadsgewoel weg te kom. Doen gerus die moeite en ry die agter stofpaaie en kom beleef dit. Nogmaals dankie vir 'n heerlike kuier by julle.

A wonderful Karoo experience.

Jules of the Karoo is in the middle of nowhere in the Karoo, but absolutely worth driving the dirt roads to get there. The hospitality of Paula knows no bounds. Beautiful very well maintained place. The barbecue packages and side dishes that you can order extra were delicious. The Karoo plains, silence and billions of stars are exactly what one needs to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Feel free to make the effort and drive the back dirt roads and come and experience it. Thanks again for a wonderful visit with you.

Vyfster-oase in die Karoo.

Jules of the Karoo en sy mense het ons harte gesteel. Julian en Martisan en hulle kinders het ons onmiddellik laat tuis voel. Die saamkuier voor die kaggel en om die etenstafel was gesellig en spesiaal en die aandete en ontbyt uit die boonste rakke. Die kamers is pragtig en stylvol gemeubileer. Hier het ons die skoonheid en vars lug van die Karoo eerstehands ervaar. Baie dankie Julian en Martisan. Jules of the Karoo sien ons beslis weer!

Five-star oasis in the Karoo.

Jules of the Karoo and his people have stolen our hearts. Julian and Martisan and their children immediately made us feel at home. The gathering in front of the fireplace and around the dining table was cozy and special and the dinner and breakfast top notch. The rooms are beautifully and stylishly furnished. Here we experienced the beauty and fresh air of the Karoo first hand. Thank you very much Julian and Martisan. Jules of the Karoo we will definitely see you again!

'n Ware juweel in die Karoo!

Ek dink daar is min plekke wat soveel persoonlike aandag bied. Ons was warm verwelkom na 'n baie lang rit van Pretoria af. Martisan en Julian het alles moontlik gedoen om ons gemaklik en tuis te laat voel. Heerlike kos, pragtige omgewing en ware gasvryheid wat mens nie maklik orals kry nie. Ons verwagtinge was ver oortref en ons het alles wat ons nodig gehad het en meer! Ons sal definitief Jules of the Karoo Lodge vir almal aanbeveel en hoop ons sal in die toekoms weer so bevoorreg wees om daar te kan bly.

A real gem in the Karoo!

I think there are few places that offer such personal attention. We were warmly welcomed after a very long drive from Pretoria. Martisan and Julian did everything possible to make us feel comfortable and at home. Delicious food, beautiful surroundings and true hospitality that you don't find easily everywhere. Our expectations were far exceeded and we had everything we needed and more! We would definitely recommend Jules of the Karoo Lodge to everyone and hope we will be so privileged to be able to stay there again in the future.

Aangename verassing! Pragtig! Stylvol!

Omgewing is mooi met groot verskeidenheid boksoorte en ander velddiere. Pragtige uitsig. Lodge se boustyl is indrukwekkend en smaakvol met fyn detail gemeubileer. Tuin en omgewing is pragtig. Verwelkomingsdrankie, southappies en ontbyt is uit die boonste rakke! Ons het baie spesiaal gevoel. Bekostigbare vyfstergehalte!
