    Warm welcome even though we arrived late due to a detour on our route. Can highly recommend. Rooms well appointed with quality fitting and amenities. Can't remember when I stayed in such a all round great hotel. Lovely pool. Didn't have breakfast but can only imagine its top notch. Secure parking big enough for a trailer. Sadly didn't take any photos as we arrived late and departed early.

    Great stopover on JHB to CT route. You get the bulk of the journey behind you and have a stunning setup to put your feet up. Try their restaurant, 4 Sheep, in town to experience Karroo Lamb at it's best! A drive through the Karroo National Park also worth it to maybe spot their Lion's. From there CT is an easy cruise in.

    We stayed at the French Karoo on Sunday 12 November 2023 and found that a lack of personal supervision from the owners contributed to considerable housekeeping issues. The soap/ shampoo dispensers in the shower were non-functional so unless you’d brought your own toiletries you could not wash. The hot/ cold icons were incorrectly positioned ( room 5) ; the warm fridge contained two dirty ice-bricks left by previous residents as well as an empty ice tray; Why wasn’t it filled? The rather uninformed lady at reception argued that the trays did not fit the fridge.I had filled and fitted them only moments earlier so my perception of an incompetent receptionist was confirmed by her ignorance. The tea /,coffee station had not been refilled- there were only two weak chamomile tea bags as options. No Ceylon or rooibos! The shower door jams tightly against the floor and also leaks water. Pillows were rock hard and security lights filtered through the doors blinds. The bins in both bedroom and toilet lacked liners which represent hygiene problems for staff. Quality of furniture debatable: impressive until you look at the poor assembly - only superficially acceptable. Breakfast excellent. ,Management attempted to defend these unacceptable issues rather than investigate Attention to detail is needed urgently to retain a 4 star status.!!!!!l

    Beautiful modern guesthouse in an old traditional setting. Ewaldia was amazing and accomodated our doggie babies like a champion. Gold star to Cape Karoo.

    We spent 2 nights here on our roadtrip. It was quick and easy to book and the staff were always friendly They situated on the outskirts of Beaufort West so it's nice and quiet. We stayed in the Dei Gratia Room. The room has a little fridge and coffee station. The bathroom has a nice shower There is off-road parking behind a gate , so it's secure. The garden is well maintained and there is a deck 1 can sit on and view the sunset. The staff were very quiet and almost operate in the background which is really nice The owners also own the 4 Sheep restaurant where we ate at the 1 evening. Also very nice. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the Karoo and would definitely stay here again

    What an unexpectedly pleasant surprise. Booked for one night only en route to Cape Town. A real gem, modern finishes, clean, bright and filter coffee in the room. Left early so didn't have breakfast but dining room looked good.

  • 5/5 ChantĂ© O. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a really good stay! Safe and quiet! Comfortable rooms, really liked the decor! And my doggo was welcomed with open arms. The pillows are just really big and really stiff, not comfortable (sorry). And the mosquitoes were a nightmare. For the rest we had a really comfortable stay and I will definitely be staying over again. The wifi is fast and you have full dstv access! The breakfast was also good.

    I stayed at the French Karoo, which is part of the Cape Karoo. Rooms are clean. Premises are safe and well maintained. Breakfast was lovely and staff was so friendly. Its my favourite place to stay when in Beaufort West.

    A must stay over for everyone going through Beaufort West. Excellent staff. Most beautiful sunsets from the stoep under the verandah. Most beautiful rooms, safety parking. Delicious breakfast. Beautiful gardens and swimming pool. Just gorgeous.

    After a long 9 and a half hours trip and howling winds we were welcomed on arrival. Quick check in and what a beautiful room. Everything we needed to unwind and prepare for the next day. Clean, warm and comfortable beds. The electric blankets made it so cozy we did not want to get up the next morning. We can honestly recommend as our best stay on the route to Cape Town.

    Comfortable, quiet, great place to break journey from Cape Town to Joburg. It was a very comfortable stay. Away from the highway and its trucks, so it was nice and quiet which helped with a peaceful sleep. Daisy the pug is a darling who welcomed us very enthusiastically. (she was let out to meet us after we said we were happy with dogs) Cape Karoo Guesthouse had a lot of additional features like add on breakfast, a pool etc. However, we only stayed here for one night, reached late in the evening and left early morning to enter the National Park as soon as the gates opened. So we didn't have the opportunity to explore these options. We were given a discount voucher for the place that we had planned to have dinner at, so that was a lovely bonus. Each room is decorated very differently. The Afri-Karoo room was quirky and adorable. The Dei Gratia room was much more standard, but had a lot more space. Each room had a microwave, tea station and a fridge in case you need to stay longer and want to warm up meals in your room. The Karoo is the driest part of the country, so they obviously have water issues and its hotter than other towns. This is obviously not in the guest house control, but something to be aware of. We were coming in from Cape Town, which was about 10 degrees cooler and arrived late evening, so I'm not sure if the air conditioning wasn't powerful enough or just that the day's heat had permeated into the walls and it took much longer to cool down. Our room had a couple of large mosquitoes. They did provide insect repellent, which we sprayed around the room - but then the room smelled of repellent instead of the lovely fresh smell that it had when we entered.

    An absolute gem in the middle of the Karoo, the perfect place to stay over for the night, maybe even longer. The house, designed by Sir Herbert Baker, is beautiful, and so are the outside rooms (renovated stables of old). The views from the upper deck are simply spectacular. A delicious breakfast is served in the morning by the friendly staff. Thank you, Waldi (the best hostess ever!), for a most delightful stay, we'll definitely be back.

    Great stopover en route from Joburg to Cape Town. Set on the edge of the town, it is quiet with great views of the sunset over the Karoo veld. The guesthouse is clean and the rooms spacious and well decorated. The venue offers spaces to relax after a long day on the road. We enjoyed a delicious dinner which they ordered in and served to us from a local restaurant. Melenie was a professional and attentive hostess. Highly recommended.

    A Hidden gem!! By far the best accommodation we have ever stayed at in Beaufort West. Overlooking the national Karoo Park.. outstanding rooms and location

  • 5/5 Heidi S. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely stunningly beautiful Guesthouse in the Karoo with the most beautiful mountains surrounding you and greeting you in the morning, great attention to every detail as to make sure you have the best of the best night's rest. Our stopover here on the way to Cape Town was just what we needed and more than we expected. We highly recommend Cape Karoo Guesthouse!!! ❤

    Wonderful overnight stop in the Karoo. Beautiful rooms, air conditioned, safe parking and a delicious breakfast. All topped off with lovely friendly service.

  • 5/5 Bronwyn B. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended. You pay extra for breakfast which is well worth it. Cold breakfast served first and then they take your order for a warm breakfast. They can serve as early as 6:30. They also over a braai pack if you want to braai when you arrive at their braai area. The braai area has a beautiful view looking onto the mountains which is gorgeous at sunset. Wi-Fi vouchers available and part of the package. Beds were comfortable. Clean and well decorated. Microwave, kettle and bar fridge available. Glasses, plates and Cutlery in every room. Cottage room suited for a family of 4. Definitely comfortable and of high standards. Dining and braai facilities not wheelchair friendly
