Such a beautiful location the lovely town of Uniondale. It has some faded charm, although it is spotless clean and all amenities work perfectly. The shower was the best we had during our two month stay in SA. The staff are very keen to help and very friendly. The beds were amazing, the rooms spacious and plenty of space to store your belongings.

From our arrival we felt welcome in the relaxed atmosphere of Dennehof, a restored jewel that welcomes you after being awed by traversing the Swartberg pass. An afternoon apero was beyond expectation as host Albert surprised us with a wine tip worthy of a true sommelier. Morning breakfast was an experience they can take pride in. The hosts, Inga and Albert, come over to see how we were, if we needed anything, and if they can suggest sights, add to our itinerary, or facilitate a dinner reservation, which they did both nights seamlessly. Their professionalism strikes the perfect balance between being sensitive to boundaries while maintaining a familiarity that shows they have mastered staying attuned and being present while giving space. The space is perfectly maintained and harmonises historic elements with contemporary touches. The feel of the Karoo is present with a nod to local artisans and culture. The hard work of this charming couple shows fortunate customers where devotion and vision comes together to make one feel at home, as if you are staying with friends, and wanting to stay longer, which I hope to next time.

In the three weeks of our holiday in South Africa, in Western and Northern Cape and in the Great Karoo, nothing came close to our stay at De Bergkant. Nothing. It was delightful in every way possible and we've travelled to many around corners of the world. The are a few standouts and one of them has to be the absolutely lovely staff, especially Tracy, who anticipated our every need and who clearly has a wonderful rigour about how she manages the hotel. The property was an oasis of calm, care and beauty. Don't get me started on the breakfast... They were worth travelling 28 hours from New Zealand for! Absolutely exceptional, along with the breakfast room.

Unreal. We had been travelling for 8 hours and needed a stop off location to break the trip before the next 8 hours. Honestly these guys have their hotel down to a tee. Really brilliant set up. We had just stayed in a five star hotel in Johannesburg before this one and honestly this one was the more comfortable at a fraction of the cost. The check in was genius as we were late, tired and weary - the staff knew this and made it SUPER EASY AND FAST. I could not recommend this place any more.

Ko Ka Tsara Bush camp was quite nice - tranquil, attractive surroundings and animals. We were lucky to see four giraffes just outside our cottage as we were leaving - early in the morning. We were also visited by vervet monkeys and an impala. This is an ideal place to touch base with nature and unwind.

History behind the town and the location is great. Makes the following day's travel short and gives you time to stop along the route at the other towns. Recommend travellers book Beaufort as part of their trip.

We always sleep over at Travalia when traveling to Cape Town, it is a welcome rest after a long day on the road. Rooms are great and you can even arrange to have a braai at your chalet, they light the fire and provide meat, salads and "braaibroodjies"

A quaint and quirky little town in the Karoo, famed for its terrible flash flood in 1981, which killed 104 residents, and all but wiped out the town. We tried to visit the Flood Museum but it turned out to be closed on Friday afternoons, which was exactly when we went to visit it. The Grand Hotel was wonderful! We had the best pizzas ever there on Friday evening (pizza night!) and it was such a friendly place. We were in Laingsburg for the Laingsburg Karoo Maratohn, a delightful low key running event thought the truly spectacular stunningly beautuful scenery of the Karoo. We loved it!

It was lovely to be part of an awesome and rich history and to explore the museum, transport museum and the whole little town - so very interesting and one can walk through the whole town within an hour! The Hotel and pub were outstanding with their meals. It was great to go on the world's shortest tour on the red bus. It is full of such an interesting history and everything makes one feel that one is back in the 1800's but at the same time it is a peaceful town where one could truly "rest"! Unfortunately we didn't see/hear any ghosts and we were not able to see inside the Courthouse, Pink Chapel, Logan's Tweedside Lodge and Schreiber's cottage! We also couldn't find the cemetry.

Uniondale was the centre point of our journey distance wise - so convenient . Also we had not been there before so it made an interesting stop over. Scenery was stunning and the road excellent. Hotel built in 1832 (I understand). Uniondale is about 14 kms off main road and entry and exit are through two mountain passes which were most attractive.

Wonderful location, beautiful renovation of old house.

Wonderful location, beautiful renovation of old house. Extremely well equipped kitchen and wonderful braai area. Be aware that the kitchen and braai patio are communal. There is only a kettle and microwave in the bedroom. The rooms are upstairs, all luggage must be carried up. Rooms are spartan except for very comfortable bed - no wardrobe, tables, chest of drawers. Shower is modern, spacious but not hot water. Beautiful walks on farm, peaceful and extremely restful. Fan in bedroom, insect repellent, but no heating facilities.

Merweville is a beautiful town! Friendly community.

Merweville is a beautiful town! Friendly community. The town is very clean and neat. The best coffee and breakfast at Die Boekklub with a shop to buy presents for family at home. There is a nougat factory as well - Karoo Blessings, unfortunately they were closed when we passed through, but we could find their yummy treats at "Die Boekklub" in town. The Graveyard is well looked after, we visited a family grave and we were very impressed! Everywhere you drive, people will greet you with a friendly smile! It gives you a warm feeling of caring! Loved the town.

The village is charming and typical of a Karoo town. Two nights and a day to see everything is adequate. It's preferable to choose accommodation in the village allowing one to walk to the various places of interest.
