The best overnight spot halfway between Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Always an amazing experience - wonderful hosts, exceptional accommodation (and food!), and set on a beautiful Karoo farm.

Would recommend to anyone!

Without a doubt the best mid-way stop between Cape Town and Johannesburg (and also great for longer stays!).

PC and the team are great hosts and go above and beyond to show guests the true meaning of Karoo/South African hospitality.

Awesome experience. Can't wait to visit again.

Perfect stayover. The cabin is gorgeous, warm, comfortable. Watch the sunrise and sunset. Meals are simply perfect - delicious and lots of choice. The hosts could not be more generous or accommodating. Favourite stayover, keep going back. It is safe, spacious, private and your every need is taken care of. Great for kids and the elderly if you have any special needs.
