    We stayed over at Ko Ka Tsara on 31 Oct-20. It is a very lovely place. Well maintained and the chalets are neat and clean. very nice and big bed. The water pressure for the shower is also very good. We also enjoyed our dinner(lamb curry). We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit it again. We can for sure recommend Ko Ka Tsara.

    This is a wonderful place where you can experience the Karoo like never before. Everything was perfect, from the softest bedding and fully equipped chalets to the most amazing 4x4 trails with breathtaking views and spectacular wildlife. We will highly recommend Koka Tsara to friends and family and will definitely visit again.

    Wonderful staff and accommodation very comfortable. Wished we could've stayed longer. Had a tyre blow out 6km from venue. Gail sent two of her gentleman staff to assist me (myself and my 2 daughters were travelling alone) and trust me it was no easy task. They were absolute angels in disguise.

    4x4 drive was great with amazing views! Accommodation was great - generator was a great help during load-shedding

    I love this place. Our luxury family cottage was beautiful, very well equipped with many thoughtful luxury extras. We loved the driving routes and walks. Great birding and natural, pristine veld. Verraux's Eagles, Black Stork, African Harrier-Hawk, Booted Eagle and many more! I highly recommend Ko Ka Tsara!

    We loved our stay at Ko-Ka Tsara on our way to the West Coast. Staff and management were super friendly and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. I definite recommendation.

    Beautiful location and scenery. The cleanliness in our chalet wasn’t up to standard. Found hair on the towels and on the bed linen. Toilet brush also visibly dirty. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

    Lovely place. Highly recommended but the track in is a bit rough. Fine for any vehicle with reasonable clearance

    TLDR: Lovely, comfortable and clean place to overnight, relax and enjoy nature, just consider dining in town. A fuller version: Beautiful bush camp with neat, clean and cozy rooms. Gas heaters, so your shower is hot despite load shedding. Somebpart of load shedding was alleviated by their generators. Quality beds, linen and other furniture. The rooms have comfort items as far as most bush camps go (kettle, two plate stove and mini oven, microwave oven, small refrigerator, and even a television which I deem unnecessary). The children absolutely loved the loft beds. The large lawns and gardens are beautiful, have lotsbof trees and are well kept. Parking areas are well marked and logically placed. You might wake up at sunrise with a giraffe casually grazing the garden's trees, with his mates just a few steps behind him snacking on the veld's trees, hoofs snapping small twigs and bodies rustling through the branches. The honesty bar is stocked with most basics and is a refreshing experience in humanity's morals. Presumably the camp is pet friendly, since a soft fluffy cat greeted us at reception and other guests had their dogs with them, all of them having a blast without being a nuisance. Breakfast there was... interesting. I wouldn't recommend having meals there, but would rather suggest that guests support any of the 4 or 5 starred lovely local restaurants like Karushi or 4Sheep. Ko-ka Tsara's meals varied from being unpalatable to being shifty or having unusual tastes. The meals were overpriced and not righteously so. The staff at mealtime that we encountered were all extremely friendly, eager to make their guests feel comfortable and wanted to offer their highest level of hospitality, but it seems unlikely that they have any training on waitering, general kitchen duty like safely operating an electrical kettle and/or food preparation. There was uncomfortably long periods with no staff being around to assist, guide or serve and overseas guests asking us as locals if that is the norm. The drive out to the bushcamp is a slightly bumpy dirt road, but not uncomfortably long nor undriveable. If I ever would re-visit Beaufort West, I'll dine in town, but I would without a doubt overnight at Ko-ka Tsara again (and even comfortably self-cater there), regardless if the main reason for a visit there is to be in the town itself.

    This is a lovely pet-friendly lodge, with polite and professional staff. The lawns, braai areas and swimming pool is kept very neat - a perfect place to enjoy with friends, family, and kids. The chalets are elegantly furnished and have all the necessities for a great getaway. The view from the rooms is of bushveld and a beautiful mountain. Would always highly recommend!

    Kokatsara is an absolute Gem. We planned on staying only one night enroute to Cape Town but landed up staying three nights instead. We just couldn’t leave so quickly. The beautiful mountains surrounding the camp were magnificent to see, the tranquility sublime. From the pre-packed Braai packs and home made salads for our evening Braai to the fabulous breakfasts served every morning, we ate well. The honesty bar was well stocked with anything and everything and very cost effective. The wood and fire lighters were delivered every evening and Braaing has never been easier. Everything was serviced and cleaned every morning. We could totally relax and enjoy ourselves. We left feeling rested and certain to return. Our host, Mika was wonderful and made us feel like a part of a large family. The extended facilities were spotless and comfortable. The game drive exceptional, with stunning views of the Karoo and we spotted many animals over the 2 hours out. We are so glad to have found this hidden gem. We will be back for sure.

    A magnificent oasis close to the Karoo National Park, Beaufort West and some scenic mountain passes. Very comfortable chalets, wonderful staff amongst beautiful surroundings. .

    Everything was immaculate, from the little chalets we stayed in (they have standard and luxury options....we had the standard and it was gorgeous) to the outside lawns and pool area....everything is beautifully kept and seen to. Cleanliness 10/10 Location 10/10 Communication 10/10 Chalet 10/10 (everything you need) Setting and surrounds 100/10 (it's that beautiful) Friendliness 10/10 Staff 10/10 There are many walks to do, 4x4 trails, mountain bike trails, large outdoor space to enjoy with pool, bar (currently alcohol-free), braai area, dining/lounge area (inside and outside), and additional services like breakfasts, braai packs, firewood, ice etc. It is amazing value for money and makes it an affordable option to visit the Karoo, spend an incredible time in nature, relax, unwind and experience a little piece of South Africas beauty.

    Thanks to Vanessa and the team on site. Wonderful experience. We really enjoyed the well kept chalet. Immaculate lawns and refreshing pool. Certainly an Oasis on our trip down from Gauteng.
