Reviewed Apr 16, 2026The sleeping area was fine. The bed was comfortable and the bedside lamps etc worked well.
There is a microwave and plates etc, but no table and one uncomfortable upright chair. So how does one eat? The room is small, but you could still fit a small table and 2 chairs in it. That would make all the difference between a functional room, and a non-functional one from an eating point of view. Or even a comfort point of view.

Reviewed Mar 24, 2026Absolutely beautiful guest house. The units are spacious, comfortable, and set within a lovely garden filled with plenty of seating areas. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner on request, and there are even braai facilities available. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I was there for business, but I would gladly book it again for a holiday.
There wasn’t anything I genuinely disliked. If I had to mention something, it would be the WiFi voucher system — you need a new voucher each day, and one per device, as each voucher is valid for 17 hours.

Reviewed Jan 9, 2026We've always like the location of Cape Karoo and French Karoo guest-houses.
The rooms are a little run down and appear to require some maintenance - both inside and out. The basin in the bathroom is tired and needs refurbishing or replacing. In a water scarce region, the hot water takes forever to arrive, wasting a lot of water in the process. The room rate is therefore not really appropriate.

Reviewed Dec 23, 2025The property is very well located at the top end of Beaufort West and easy to access. It offers a beautiful garden oasis in the middle of the Karoo desert tastefully styled with French-inspired decor. We loved the fact that they could accommodate our family of 5 in a single room - a big bonus when travelling with 3 kids! The breakfast offered a good selection of both hot and cold foods and was served promptly as arranged the night before. We also enjoyed a 12% discount at the 4 Sheep restaurant which we used on the evening of our arrival. There is decent WiFi and an access token was provided for each of us in our room which was great.
Nothing, it really is a great place to break our long journey and stay for the night.
