Karoo Cottage

Accommodation Description

Situated in the heart of the Great Karoo, between Graaff-Reinet and Nieu Bethesda, Karoo Cottage is a secluded hideaway surrounded by the Sneeuberg Nature Reserve. Covering 14,500 hectares, the reserve established itself as a sanctuary for wildlife, playing a pivotal role within the Compassberg Protected Environment. 

On the same werf as the beautiful Poplars Farmhouse, Karoo Cottage is an old stone cottage which has been renovated into a charming and quaint dwelling. The cottage sleeps 6 and is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your time in the remote Karoo landscape. Stone walls, large Agave plants, soft, chunky beds and natural tones give the cottage an authentic Karoo yet homely feel. A perfect home – away from home.

Setting Description

Sneeuberg Nature Reserve in South Africa offers an authentic Karoo experience, and with the absence of predators, the reserve provides a safe environment for leisurely walks, jogs, and cycling, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the scenic landscape and observe the local wildlife. Embark on a self-driven adventure or opt for a grounded exploration on foot or bike along various mountain, riverine, and scenic tracks. 

Immerse yourself in the true essence of the Karoo during evenings around a crackling fire, under crisp, clear, starry skies untouched by artificial light or sounds. The magic of these nights is heightened by the distant calls of nocturnal creatures, creating a unique and integral part of the Sneeuberg experience.
