Very neat and safe accommodation, but could do with a generator at least.
We stayed over for two days and were very impressed with the layout and cleanliness of the units. With the load shedding that is a reality in our country, I would at least have expected a generator. We were without power for 5 hours on day two. Although it was not Karoo Retreat Guesthouse's fault, the 5 hours without wifi and power on a sweltering hot day was not very pleasant and having to end it with a cold shower, not my idea of comfortable. Apart from that we really enjoyed our stay.

Stay over for 3 nights for wedding.
Room was neat. Too little hanging and storage space for clothes. No shelf in bathroom for toiletries. No provision for load shedding. Small windows make it bad for ventilation. Bathroom has no windows. We will not take double room again. Self-care has been very limited. Should advertise that they don't have provision for load shedding. No mirror except in bathroom.

Comfortable overnight stop.
The receptionist was very helpful. We inquired for a bigger room which she could arrange for us. We were willing to pay the difference. Room was very comfortable but not private due to neighbors who could clearly hear us communicating. We are on a 5-week tour through the Karoo and Klein-Karoo and experienced the worst of the wifi at Karoo Retreat. It was impossible to try to 'stream' Springbok rugby. The bed is supposed to be king size but it is not so we requested for an alternative room.

We could work, socialize and prepare our own meals as if we were in our own home. Delicious! And we can definitely recommend the breakfast - served in your unit.

Our family of 4 stayed in one of the Luxury Villas for 2 nights.
The unit was very neat and clean. However, we could not cook with load shedding, because the stove works with electricity. There was also no generator. However, we were able to cook with whatever was available in the unit when the power came back on. The double bed was incredibly comfortable and we slept wonderfully. During load shedding we could not shower either. The villa is beautiful inside and the porch is also nicely equipped with seats everywhere. Mandla, our hostess was excellent. Her service was top notch.

Hi Johan
Dankie vir terugvoer.
1. Kragonderbreking is agv Eskom. Net bly dit was in die nag terwyl almal geslaap het. Elke villa het spesiale ligte wat inskop met loadshedding so verstaan nie lekker wat die probleem was nie.
2. Tv werk 100 persent. Dink miskien het jy gesukkel met remotes hoe om dit aan te sit. Jy moes net vra en ons help graag.
3. Elke kamer het n asblik en indien jy meer goed wil weggooi as normaal staan daar 4 groot asblikke net agter in die parkering.
4. Muskiete het niemand nog v gekla nie. Jy is die 1ste persoon en ja dit is baie warm in die karoo en kan dink daar is maar nou en dan n muskiet wat ook miskien normale natuurlike verskynsel is.

Hi Hester,
Baie dankie vir u terugvoer, toe u by ons bespreek het, het u die pryse gevra waarvan u 'n afslag van 30% gekry het. Ons het u dan in een van ons huise wat duurder was, geplaas, maar ons het dit aan u gegee teen 'n baie goeie prys. Dit is ook die rede waarom die prente verskil, aangesien dit nie die eenheid was wat u oorspronklik bespreek het nie.

Modern and affordable.
Karoo Retreat is modern, basically equipped and was affordable. Parking is right in front of the unit and is therefore very suitable for overnight stays. However, stairs are less suitable for very small children and for older people because the bathing facilities are located on the lower floor. The included breakfast was both convenient and nicely prepared.

Very nice place. Very friendly people. Truly value for money.
From booking to arrival I was kept up to date on all developments. On arrival I was warmly welcomed and made me feel at home. The service was consistently of high quality and the staff were friendly and helpful at all times. The fact that they know the area well also helped to quickly find a nice restaurant where I really enjoyed eating, so their references are certainly reliable. The accommodation is of a high standard, neat, clean, spacious and equipped with everything you may need. It is located in a quiet area, so no disturbances and you can sleep well. The breakfast was excellent. Until the moment I left I was always friendly and hospitable and made me feel special. Thank you to all the staff of the Karoo Retreat guesthouse for your excellent service. See you soon again.
