Karoo Ridge Cottage
Inspired by the Karoo, we have used brick and cut stone to build a four bedroom eco guest lodge that sits in harmony with its surroundings. The cottage is tucked away in a scenic valley overlooking the Groot Brak river, one kilometre from the main homestead, close enough for comfort and far enough for privacy. It is perfect for family and friend getaways, romantic escapes, or for anyone looking for a few days of peace and tranquillity.
Two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms; the other bedrooms share a family bathroom. All four bedrooms can be arranged as doubles or twins, sleeping a total of eight guests and it is possible to accommodate slightly larger groups on request. The cottage has an open plan kitchen, dining and living area with a wood burner. The lights are solar-powered while the fridge, cooker and geysers run on gas and our guests are always happy to find that this is a wifi- and mobile- free area.
We offer three catering arrangements for guests at Karoo Ridge Cottage. There is a fully equipped kitchen for guests who wish to cater for themselves and provide their own food. Alternatively, by arrangement and for an extra cost, the cottage can be stocked with groceries. We can also offer a fully catered service at the cottage, whereby all meals are supplied from the homestead, with menus discussed in advance.
We offer an all-inclusive experience with your meals catered for you or you may choose to cater for yourself. Contact us for our rates
A spacious veranda with braai area overlooks spectacular views of the valley where mountain reedbuck, kudu, duiker and plentiful birds can be seen and there is also a separate fire pit close by to kick back and relax with a beer at the end of a great day exploring. Great hiking trails for all levels lead straight from the veranda so you can be as energetic or relaxed as you wish. There is always plenty going on at Karoo Ridge Conservancy and throughout the year we lay on a range of experiences for guests to get involved in. Click here for more information.
Shop
Following the Karoo theme we have built a small shop inspired by the way of life of the early settlers here, which sells a variety of interesting artwork, gifts and homewares from local artists and craftspeople.
We also process our own game meat and can supply boerewors, drywors and mince, with other cuts sometimes available on request. Guests can also buy home-cooked, readily prepared meals and local lamb – please enquire when booking.
