My partner and I recently enjoyed a delightful stay at Karoo Retreat Oudttshoorn, and we can’t praise it enough! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and hospitality by our wonderful host, Justin The room we stayed in was simply stunning. Tastefully decorated with a keen eye for detail, it provided a perfect blend of elegance and comfort. Every corner reflected a thoughtful design that made our retreat feel special. We highly recommend Karoo Retreat to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in Oudtshoorn. The combination of beautiful accommodations, stunning views, and the genuine hospitality of Justin made for a truly memorable stay. We can’t wait to return!

No Restaurant on site Coldrink very expensive at shop on premises.

It was secure and close to town amenities. It was tranquil and peaceful. The two baby springbok rescues were so cute! The room was modern decor with lovely natural highlights. The kitchen well appointed. I loved that you could see the birds right out of the bedroom window.

The room was a two level with the toilet on the main floor. Don’t know how we missed that in booking. That wouldn’t have been much of a problem but walking on the stairs was not quiet…and you could hear your neighbours walk on theirs too! (Heavier footed people). The add says bbq and there is one available but they do not supply the charcoal. This was disappointing for us as it is hard to carry around charcoal, started, matches in addition to everything else.

We love the venue and except for one night when it was fully booked, we have always spent our overights there for the last few years. Nelda and her staff have been excellent and particularly helpfull, going out of her way to accommodate us. I have recommended Karoo Retreat to a number of our family and friends who are travelling in that direction. I feel safe there and the rooms have always been clean and well prepared with good bedding.

Undercover parking would be nice (a sopping wet motorcycle one winters morning!) but not essential. There is really nothing I did not like.

Units are very clean and comfortable. For a stop over perfect.

We initially booked 2 nights for 5 guests. I needed to change my booking to 1 night and add 3 more guests. With the expectation of the second night covering the value of the extra 3 guests. Unfortunately the property did not accept and we had to pay for the 3 guests. But Karoo retreat was atleast kind enough to allow us an earlier check in, when we did arrive in Oudtshoorn.

The staff there were super friendly and accommodating, the bed was very comfortable and the aircon made the room feel like a cool oasis in the karoo heat. The garden was gorgeous, lined with pomegranate bushes, olive trees and lavender.

The only reason I rated an 8/10 is because of the wifi and soundproofing. The staff warned us before hand about the noise which helped prepare us ...but you can hear everything that is happening in the adjacent rooms. The wifi kept kicking me off which made it difficult to use. I would suggest the Karoo retreat offers ear plugs to its future guests to help with the noise.

We stay at Karoo Retreat every time we need to go to Oudtshoorn for work and pleasure. The place is absolutely stunning and the rooms are beautiful. The staff are very accommodating and their service is excellent.

The WiFi in the room was intermittent and due to an adjoining door, we could hear everything that was happening in the room next door. However, this is the first time we have stayed in the double rooms, we usually stay in the bigger units which we’ve always found quite soundproof.

Well priced and nicely presented “villa” which is like a loft style apartment, bathroom is downstairs. Well equipped kitchenette, bathroom spacious, very nice shower. Tea, coffee facilities and fresh milk very much appreciated. Nice outdoor patio, wonderful weavers’ nests viewable from our upstairs bedroom window. Good breakfast. Ample safe parking. Highly recommended.

We felt that the bed was too soft for a comfortable night’s sleep but reported it and am sure will be dealt with.

The hospitality of the staff, in particular Leti, added finesse that provides perfect comfort during a vacation. Being far from home with kids can be trying and Leti was there to provide assurance and assist with our needs at all times. Her friendliness and hospitality really touched us and we would like to return again soon. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts for all the love and kindness. You truly made our stay outstanding.

i am probably amongst the minority that visits your place, more Halal, Kosher or Vegetarian options on the menu for non-pork and non-alcoholic visitors will really be helpful. Alternatively, recommendations of Halal or Vegetarian eating places nearby is equally useful.

Close to town, very clean, very calming atmoshere, modern, comfortable, nice crockery, Justin brought cushions to braai area for us to be comfortable and supplied grid, loved the springbokkies

No comfortable chairs to sit and chat inside villa, bathroom door handle broken off on inside of bathroom, noisy guests on Sat afternoon when we needed a quick nap, noisy guests 7.15am on Sun morning

I liked everything from arrival to departure. The host contacted me as soon as I confirmed my booking to confirm my time of arrival. My unit which was clean, spacious, very comfortable and equipped with everything I needed to feel at home. The comfortable sheets were the best I have experienced and seeing a pair of Springbok in the gardens in the morning made it extra special.

Everything was on point so there was nothing I disliked.
