Karoo Retreat Guesthouse

Enjoyable.

A wonderful quick getaway in a great place.

Came as clients, left as friends.

Antoinette was an absolute star. She and the staff handled all the queries we had like professionals to make our stay pleasurable! The breakfast every morning was brilliant and again Awie and Antoinette accommodated our food intolerance like professionals, leaving us very happy and satisfied. Awesome place, would recommend it to everyone!

Awesome stopover.

Ons was in Oudtshoorn vir die Attakwas MTB en KK Retreat was die perfekte oornagplek. Dankie!

Rustig en verkwikkend.

Ons het in die Rustic Cottage oorgeslaap. 'n Lieflike, luukse kamer met badkamer wat apart van die res sit. Wens kon langer bly en nog op die Cottage se stoepie sit.

It was a wonderful weekend away.

Very good service overall.

Very neat, modern accommodation.

We as a family were delighted. The unit was serviced while we were out. Everything very nice, new and in working order. Will definitely stay there again. Breakfast was also delicious.

Fantastic.

This was by far the most amazing experienced we had during our holiday. The people were very helpful, friendly and went the extra mile. The daily breakfast was always fresh and they were quick to serve you. Always ensuring the best quality. The morning we booked out it was on my birthday, they had made a birthday card for me and gave me a small gift. The rooms were kept clean and tidy at all times. I would recommend this place to anyone and we will most differently be back.

Exquisite.

Where do I even begin, the Vila was spotless and neat, peaceful and everything and even more than what we desired. The breakfast was the best. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Baie netjies, skoon en gerieflik.

Ek en my man is uiters beïndruk met ons verblyf by Karoo Retreat. Alles was baie gerieflik, skoon en netjies. Die personeel het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons verblyf baie lekker te maak. Baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Ons sal beslis weer daar tuisgaan en ook aan ander aanbeveel om daar te bly. Baie baie dankie.

Home away from home.

We really enjoyed our stay at Karoo Retreat! The breakfast was excellent and the accommodation is close to the restaurant. I recommend it when going to visit the Cango Caves. The lady at the reception was very helpful!

Very reasonable and neat, value for money!

The guesthouse can be recommended. Staff are very helpful. Everything is neat, beautiful and delicious!

Mooi en rustig. Ontbyt heerlik.

Vriendelike diens. Baie behulpsaam. Bekostigbaar. Pragtig en modern.

Modern, comfy Karoo treat.

We enjoyed our stay at The Karoo Retreat! Such friendly staff and so accommodating! Would definitely stay here when we visit Oudtshoorn in the future!

Very neat, service is good and food very tasty.

Any negative comments are that the price for the particular room we booked did not match what was advertised and when I inquired, I was informed that all the cheap rooms were gone. The only thing is that the room we stayed in had a specific number with a specific price.

Great modern stay. Excellent value for money.

Lovely friendly service. Great value for money. Very clean comfortable and modern. Split level with bedroom upstairs with no loo on this level. Could have mentioned this on the website.

Ons het lekker gebly, die haardroër was 'n bonus.

Dis 'n lekker blyplek en het alles wat jy nodig het.

Excellent welcome and accommodation.

Wasn't aware of the Karoo Retreat, but will definitely book there first in the future. Welcome, accommodation and breakfast were excellent, good value for money.

Awesome.

I did not read the clause not getting visitors. My apologies on that because my 2 stepsons came to visit. Manager was kind enough to let them stay a while. We took them home afterwards.

Stunning guest house, excellent service, wonderful breakfast and comfortable stay.

Everything was perfect! So clean and fresh. It surpassed our expectations. The breakfast was a delightful surprise and so welcome. We left refreshed and well fed! Congratulations on a magnificent establishment! We will spread the word far and wide. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your Karoo Retreat.

Besonder aangenaam.

Ruim kamer, modern en smaakvol toegerus. Die ontvangsarea (wat ook as ontbytkamer dien) is sonnig, ruim en baie smaakvol gemeubileer en versier. Personeel is vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

Baie rustig en gemaklik.

Lieflike, rustige plek. Ons het veral die lugreëling geniet. Die sneeu op die motors was pragtig! Kan miskien doen met 'n tafel om by te eet binne. Ontbyt was goed. Vriendelike ontvangs.

Rustig, veilig en netjies skoon, als in plek.

Hulle het gebel om te hoor of ons veilig is nadat ons later eers ingeboek het as wat ons bevestig het. Baie netjies, skoon en als op sy plek. Voel dadelik tuis en gemaklik. Sal plek regtig aanbeveel.

Modern en bekostigbaar.

Karoo Retreat is modern, basies toegerus en was bekostigbaar. Parkering is reg voor die eenheid en is dus baie geskik vir oorslaap verblyf. Trappe is egter minder geskik vir baie klein kinders en vir ouer persone omdat die badgeriewe op die onderste vloer geleë is. Die ingeslote ontbyt was beide gerieflik en lekker voorberei.

Extremely well-equipped, self-catering, comfortable stop over in modern, clean lodge.

A real find - comfortable, warm bed for a cold Karoo night in a modern, double-volume unit. Delicious breakfast included. Manageress Lulu was so welcoming and helpful.

Vriendelike gasvrou, heerlike ontbyt en villa is pragtig uitgelê, ons het dit baie geniet.

Vriendelik, netjies, heerlike ontbyt en villa is pragtig uitgelê met alles wat jy nodig het.

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.

Neat, clean and comfortable.

Very cute accommodation in Oudtshoorn. Neat, clean and very comfortable.

Netjies en aangenaam.

Vriendelike en professionele ontvangs in netjiese en privaat akkommodasie. Heerlike ontbyt.

Cosy.

Had an incredibly nice stay and breakfast was nice. Well equipped units.

Absoluut fantasties!

Ons kind het aan sport deelgeneem in Oudtshoorn en ons het net vir een nag verblyf benodig. Karoo Retreat het bo al ons vereistes en verwagtings voldoen al was dit ongelukkig net vir een nag. Alles was netjies en skoon en al die personeel wat ons bedien het was baie vriendelik en gasvry. Ons sal beslis weer by julle inboek. Baie dankie!

Heerlik. Baie goeie diens en ontvangs.

Karoo Retreat kan regtig aanbeveel word. Veilig en heerlike stil omgewing.

Baie lekker.

Dit was 'n baie lekker naweek gewees. Mense was vriendelik. Sal weer kom.

Rustige, stil atmosfeer met voortreflike kliëntediens.

Is hartlik ontvang. Atmosfeer is rustig en stil. Naby dorp geleë. Baie goeie diens ontvang. Kamers is skoon en netjies.

Fantastic!

Excellent accommodation at a very affordable rate. The unit was extremely neat, clean and had everything needed. Staff very friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast. Will definitely visit again and recommend it to anyone looking for accommodation in Oudtshoorn. Well done Karoo Retreat, you are tops!

Regtig goeie waarde vir geld.

Baie netjiese verblyf en waarde vir geld.

Fantasmagories.

Ons het baie goeie ontvangs gekry van Awie. Dankie vir Awie en personeel vir die heerlike ontbyt. Julle was baie vriendelik. Die rustigheid wat die plek jou bied is fantasties.

Excellent.

Nice, affordable accommodation. Thank you, the service was excellent.

Netjies en skoon.

'n TV in die kamer sal lekker wees, asook dat Kamer 1 'n buitedeur het.

Great hospitality. Go the extra mile.

No hidden cost.

We got a lot more than we expected.

The cottage we stayed in was ideal for our needs as a family. Everything is there that we needed, very cosy, very good!

Alles was 100%. Dankie. Sal weer daar oornag.

Verblyf was ruim en aangenaam. Personeel was behulpsaam en vriendelik. Ontbyt smaaklik.

Ons het topgehalte diens gekry.

Ek sal Karoo Retreat se diens en personeel enige tyd aanbeveel. Eenheid waarin ons was baie mooi en netjies.

Incredible. Can't wait to stay there.

Incredibly beautiful and neat. We were well looked after and if what we wanted was provided and many more. Beautiful guesthouse, incredibly safe and felt like my 2nd home. Will only stay here every year when I come to do Cango Marathon.

Baie mooi en netjies, lekker lugversorging, swembad, oulike mense, lekker ontbyt. Bespreek gerus.

Die Karoo Retreat is 'n pragtige plek in Oudtshoorn. Dis baie modern, netjies, skoon, rustig. Lekker lugversorging vir die somer en winter met 'n lekker swembad. Gasvryheid is daar baie. Hulle doen moeite met die mense wat daar kuier. Hulle ontbyt is heerlik.

Lekkerste verblyf in 'n wyle.

Dit was so lekker om hier te kon bly. Die mense was vriendelik, dit plek so skoon en netjies. Dit het my verwagting vêr oortref. Baie professioneel en behulpsaam. En vir die prys wat ons betaal het was dit regtig die lekkerste waar ek gebly het in 'n lang tyd. Baie baie dankie!

It was worth it.

It was very cheap. Definite value for money. I definitely recommend the place.

Geen warm water in stort 06:30 in die oggend.

Die ontvangs/eetkamer was reg by my kamer se deur so ek kon in die nag en vroeg more ander gaste en staff hoor praat. Geen warm water toe ek die môre voor ontbyt wou stort nie, dit was lou vir so 10 sekondes dan hou dit heeltemal op en daar is slegs koue water. Het dit so 3 keer probeer en opgegee. Ek het staff gevra om my by die hek uit te laat met die afstandbeheer, maar na ek 5 min voor die hek gesit het moes ek ander gas vra om my uit te laat. Die ontbyt is baie basies, ek het al die yogurt en muesli op gebruik so die ander gaste moes vra vir nog, koffie in die percolator was slegs lou warm. Onaanvaarbaar! Die plek is modern en skoon, lekker sagte beddegoed met baie kussings.

Our stay at the Karoo Retreat was perfect!

We stayed in Unit 1. It's a beautiful apartment, much larger than we expected. Everything was sparkling clean and had everything one needs. 2 large bedrooms, both with beautiful fresh white linen. The kitchen/living area is beautifully decorated. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast the next morning. Neliza was very helpful and recommended where we had dinner. Would definitely stay again!

This is quite a new establishment and I am sure they will get there eventually.

The place is in a nice area and the people assisting very helpful. There are a few hick-ups: 1. No hair dryer in the room. 2. No ice was available and temperatures rose to 46 degrees. 3. The room is adjacent to the dining room area and a bit noisy in the morning when you want to sleep a bit later. I would suggest that they build a soundproof wall between the dining room and the rooms.

Netjiese, moderne verblyf.

Ek en my man het vir Karoo Retreat baie geniet. Ons het dadelik tuis gevoel. Vriendelike warm kliëntediens. Kamers is modern en baie goed ingerig.

Was teleurgestel met die huisvesting wat ons gekry het.

Die huisvesting wat ons gekry het was nie soos op die foto's wat op die webtuiste was nie. Ons het in 'n krakerige Wendyhuis gebly terwyl daar van die beter huisvesting beskikbaar was wat dieselfde gekos het. Die ontvangs en die res van die verblyf het baie beter daaruit gesien. As gevolg van my ondervinding sal ek nie weer daar oornag nie.

Aangenaam.

Net een probleem ek moes 'n volle R2200 betaal het vir beddegoed wat een van my mense op gebraak het.

Stylvol en rustig.

Die villa wat ons in gebly het was baie stylvol ingerig, ideaal vir 2 mense. Dis 'n baie veilige en rustige omgewing en is sentraal geleë vir al die besienswaardighede. Personeel baie vriendelik en het jou lekker tuis laat voel. Die ontbyt was hemels en vullend. Die enigste probleem was net dat ons teen 6 uur al wakker gewees het a.g.v die son wat so vroeg deur geskyn het (die blindings en ligte gordyne het nie veel gehelp nie) andersins was die verblyf baie lekker en sal weer bespreek.

Enjoyed it a lot.

Value for money and friendly service.

Baie lekker gewees.

Dit was awesome, dankie. Sal dit weer doen.

Rustig, stil en vriendelik.

Ons het ongelukkig net een aand oorgeslaap. Sal graag 'n langer tyd hier wil spandeer.

Waarde vir geld.

Baie nuut en alles wat jy nodig het is in die eenheid. Dit was so nuut dat die verfreuk ons 'n bietjie gepla het totdat ons die lugreëling aangesit het. Dankie.

Excellent!

Good service. Very neat. You simply have to go there.

Fantastiese, pragtige akkommodasie, stylvol versier.

Dit is 'n baie goeie akkommodasie, stylvol gemeubileerd, 'n pragtige bed en 'n goeie badkamer. Die kombuis is volledig en knus. Daar is geen uitsig nie, maar die ligging in verhouding tot die sentrum is goed. Vriendelike welkom ook!

Prachtig huis.

Verbleven in unit one. Erg groot en royaal huis. Van alle gemakken voorzien. Mooie woonkeuken. Grote slaapkamers met goede bedden. Alles was netjes en goed verzorgd.

Snoesig, smaaklike dekor en lekker geslaap.

Ideaal vir 'n nag se oorslaap na 'n lang reis en goed ingerig vir 2 mense. Ek het 'n stort so bietjie gemis, maar was die Victoriaanse skuimbad tog ontspannend genoeg en het daarvoor opgemaak. Sal definitief weer oorbly as ons in Oudtshoorn is.

Baie gemaklike, ruim verblyf. Was baie dankbaar vir verwarmers en elektriese komberse.

Ons is vriendelik verwelkom en het uit die staanspoor tuis gevoel. Die plek is ruim, netjies en goed toegerus. Die elektriese komberse op die beddens en verwarmers en kaggel was veral welkom. Heerlik gebly en gekuier.

Excellent and with all necessary facilities.

The most attractive, most neat and comfortable accommodation that anyone could hope for. All facilities, cutlery and crockery are there and in abundance. You could live here for a month. There's also a swimming pool and braai areas outside with a beautiful atmosphere.

Ons het heerlik warm geslaap en als was daar wat ons nodig gehad het.

Dit was die ideale plek vir een nag se verblyf en lekker naby al die plekke waar ons wou wees. Dit is skoon en netjies.

Fantastic. Really enjoyed it.

Will definitely want to stay at Karoo Retreat again and highly recommend it. And bring my family here. Ina really made us feel welcome when we arrived and would like to thank the personnel who arranged the booking as well. Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend.

Hoë gehalte-blyplek.

Die gekleurde vensters en weerhaan op die dak herinner aan 'n kerkgebou. Pragtige dekor, kwaliteit linne. Baie gemaklike kombuis. Dit was besonder koud a.g.v die klipvloere maar daar was 'n verwarmer in die kamer. Netjies en prakties. Waarde vir geld.

Bekostigbaar, veilig, naby alles in die dorp, skoon en gerieflik.

Die verblyf is baie bekostigbaar. Die verblyf is in die dorp (Oudtshoorn) en naby alles. Die plek word elke dag skoongemaak. Daar is veilige parkering, en dis baie stil in die buurt. Daar is 'n mooi skoon swembad en braaiplekke beskikbaar vir gaste. Ons verblyf het net 'n bad ingehad, sou graag 'n stort ook daar wou hê. Ek sal Karoo Retreat beslis vir iemand aanbeveel wat rustige, veilige, skoon (nie te luuks nie) en bekostigbare verblyf in Oudtshoorn soek.

Baie lekker gebly, lieflike spasie, sal enige tyd aanbeveel.

Dit was lieflik en geen probleem het te voorskyn gekom nie.

Lovely and beautiful place.

We received very friendly and hospitable welcome. The management made sure that we had a warm night and there were extra blankets and an electric blankets. Will definitely stay there again!

Perfect overnight stay.

Very clean room. Friendly reception, with clear instructions on how to get in as we arrived after 6 pm. Lots of space to park cars in a secure area with remote gate.

Baie lekker.

Ina was ongelooflik. Ons plekkie was pragtig.

Not suitable for senior citizens.

Our luxury unit only had a bath and no shower. The elderly can not get in and out of a bath. Wooden floors creek a lot. The TV is too small, can only lay on bed and watch TV. The elderly's eyes are weak.

Friendly manager had everything running smoothly and the unit is large.

The manager was very helpful and made us feel at home. The Unit (number 1) is very, very well equipped. We were only 2 and the 2 rooms can easily accommodate 4 people. There's also a cot for babies. The kitchen had everything, even a pair of scissors and oven mitts which a few units didn't have. There was even a gas stove which was useful when the electricity was off in the entire Oudtshoorn.

Absolutely fantastic.

I haven't had such a good night's rest in a long time. The hostess was very helpful. Even recommend a restaurant. We chose one, Nostalgie, where we enjoyed a romantic dinner. The owner's daughter took us to the restaurant at no extra cost and picked us up again to take us back to Karoo Retreat. I will definitely make use of Karoo Retreat again.

Pleasant.

Lovely stay. Homely feel.

Pragtig en baie netjies.

Perfekte plekkie om te oornag. Baie dankie vir netheid en vriendelikheid. Sal definitief weer hier oorslaap as ons dié kant toe kom.

Baie netjiese, goed geleë akkommodasie.

Vriendelike personeel het ons ontvang. Kamer was baie netjies skoon en lieflike ruim bed met meer as genoeg beddegoed vir die koue Karoo-nagte.

Very need, peaceful atmosphere.

Friendly welcome at a very neat and peaceful place. I recommend Karoo Retreat.

Aangename oornag.

Stil, rustig en baie vriendelike diens deur Ina. Skoon en netjies.

Vriendelik, skoon geriewe, het ongelukkig net nie aan verwagtinge wat gestel is voldoen nie.

My probleem met die verblyf is dat ek nie gekry het wat ek op die advertensie gesien het nie. Daar is drie selfsorgareas en ek aanvaar dit is die ander twee se foto's wat op die webtuiste was. My verblyf het gewoonlik 5 vereistes: 'n bed wat lekker slaap, braaigeriewe en WiFi - dit was daar. Die foto's het 'n stort getoon en plate (hob), my eenheid het dit nie gehad nie en dit was vir my groot probleem. Ek moes braaipan gaan koop sodat ons ontbyt kon maak en ek haat dit om te bad. Dit het nie veel gepla nie, maar die DStv het ook amper nooit gewerk nie.

Baie vriendelik.

Dankie vir vriendelike diens.

Vierde keer in 2 jaar wat ons hier bly - ek dink dit sê alles!

Heerlik volledig toegerus - dit voel of jy in jou eie huis kuier. En altyd silwerskoon. Dankie vir die sout en peper, want ek het myne vergeet! Ons kom beslis weer.

Pleasant.

This is a lovely place to stay and was a pleasant surprise.

Karoo Retreat is sentraal geleë, dit is baie oulike plek met 'n swembad.

Ina baie dankie vir die vriendelike ontvangs. Die cottage is pragtig en ons het die verblyf geniet.

Goeie waarde vir geld.

Die akkommodasie het aan alle verwagtinge voldoen en kan aanbeveel word.

Lekker gebly.

Het lekker gebly. Dink tog ons kon attent gemaak gemaak word dat dit 'n houthuisie is.

Refreshing.

We had a friendly welcome and the staff are helpful.

Had a very nice stay!

Beautiful decor, clean and friendly staff. We enjoyed our stay so much. Thank you for all the help.

100% truthful - has everything you need!

Peaceful and safe - fully-equipped kitchen with woderful dining table. Feels like your own home. We just couldn't find matches. Thanks for all your trouble Ina.
