Natural stone Boma with lovely large braai, equipped with all your firewood, firelighters, braai grids and utensils, all with our compliments. Natural stone Plunge pool, with lounger and umbrellas – a perfect way to end a summer’s day with your glass of vino or two.
3 Private braai areas and viewing spots to choose from, all individually designed to blend into the natural vegetation, equipped with your firewood and firelighters with our compliments, including braai grids and tongs - really special to view our magnificent night sky ending off your day.
For your convenience we will gladly make up a Braai Basket, including Richard’s home baked bread, Karoo Lamb, Wors and an assortment of other “goodies”.
We also encourage you to pick veggies and herbs from our organic tunnel with our compliments, as nothing beats the fresh, fragrant taste and smell of ‘freshly picked’ straight from the garden, which is also a delight for the kiddies.
Karoo View Cottages offer our Nature, Bird Lovers and Photographers an unspoilt paradise. We endeavoured whilst building to retain our natural flora for you to enjoy and wherever you look and walk you will see and experience the natural beauty that surrounds you right on your doorstep.
You will notice a little white Karoo building next door to us on the right which is the home of Avoova Ostrich Eggshell Designs and is a real must visit as they have the most beautiful handcrafted products made out of Silver and Pewter which are then clothed in a luxurious veneer of Ostrich eggshell, all made right here in the heart of the Karoo.
If you look to your right from your stoep at Karoo View Cottages, you will see a dark grey building nestled against the Koppie. This is where you can watch Booley at Striking Metal, using age old techniques and traditions of Blacksmithing in his Forge equipped with the most amazing array of tools and Anvils, some of which date back to the Middle Ages. Booley will welcome Commission work, many of which have found their way around South Africa.
Another special experience is a visit to the Tannery a little further down the road, where you can have Custom made Sheepskin Slippers made for you. They do take a day or two, however we will gladly arrange to post to you, or provides you with yet another reason to linger longer in our piece of heaven. Such a delightful experience for children and adults alike.
A real treat to end off your Karoo day, is to take a short walk or cycle along our road towards the farms and Karoo Plains, where you may be fortunate enough to spot a Karoo Hare, Tortoise, or a Spotted Eagle Owl perched on one of the farm fences and if you are very lucky you may even see an Aardvark, silhouetted against the setting sun. Or take a 2 minute walk into the village and sample Karoo Fare at one of the eateries, as it is perfectly safe to walk from Karoo View Cottages
