"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."

KenyaWe had the best surprise arriving at Lord Milner as we did not expect such a beautiful welcoming place with such fantastic gardens and fountains and a river to cross to access a very large beautiful swimming pool. The room was also so charming with large bathtub.

AustraliaHost and hostess (they are the owners of the hotel) were very friendly and welcoming. We felt at home. We had lovely, very tasty ostrich steak and roast veggies for dinner and a delicious cooked breakfast. Our overall experience left a very positive feeling about the hotel; old time grandeur!!

From
South AfricaAbsolutely everything was perfect. A little gem! We ordered a braaipack in advance. It contained so much more than expected. In addition to the meat, there was roosterkoek, jam, salad, pumpkin fritters and more. The rooms and beds were super comfortable. The kitchen had every utensil we needed and fresh drinkwater was supplied.
The Swartberg Mountains around us were breathtaking. We loved our stay. It was booked for a stay-over location close to the Cango Caves but we will be back for a longer stay at some stage to explore the area further.

What an unforgettable stay! Lemoen Fontein has the most incredible atmosphere — as far as the eye can see there are stones, bushes, and a koppie in the background, and then suddenly you arrive at a beautiful old farmhouse surrounded by a lush garden and big trees. It truly feels like an oasis in the middle of the Karoo.
The dogs and cats on the farm made it even more special, and we loved that it is a dog-friendly place.
Dinner was absolutely wonderful — real home-cooked farm food served on a large veranda with the most breathtaking view.
After dinner, a giraffe came right up to the house to eat leaves. It was so close we could almost touch it! An unbelievable and memorable experience — we have never been that close to a giraffe before.
Our room was spotless, comfortable, beautifully furnished, and had a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. The extra-large bed was extremely comfortable.
We had an amazing stay and would highly recommend Lemoen Fontein to anyone looking for a peaceful, unique, and truly special Karoo experience.

Karoo national park always very good. When we arrived in Beaufort west we realised that it was the end of the month (payday)and the town was a nightmare. We even battle to find parking to do some shopping.

What a gorgeous little town!
What a gorgeous little town! One day, when I’m old and quite content to simply sit on a porch and look out at the world, I think Prince Albert might just be the place!
There is such a wonderful sense of pride in the town. It is beautifully kept and incredibly clean — even the dustbins, which are decorated and strategically placed all along the main road, somehow add to its charm. The people are friendly, the foodie spots are AMAZING, and the little waterways that channel water through the town to the houses are fascinating to see. They’re also part of the reason Prince Albert stays so wonderfully green throughout the year.
You absolutely have to try the sourdough from The Accidental Baker, who sells her wares at the Saturday market. It is worth seeking out!
And if you’re active and looking for a proper challenge, do yourself a favour and ride a bike up and over Swartberg Pass — and back again! The scenery is extraordinary; at times you genuinely feel as though you’ve been dropped into the Alps.
The Yellow House is an absolute MUST for accommodation and amazing food.
Prince Albert completely charmed us and is most certainly a place worth visiting!

A pretty Klein Karoo town.
A pretty Klein Karoo town. There is the sense, however, that most people don't stay too long as it's located right at the foot of the Prince Alfred Pass, which people rush to go over to their destinations. So, Uniondale is a bit overlooked. Getting around is easy, it's tiny so you can walk everywhere.

I enjoyed exploring the town.
I enjoyed exploring the town. I was last in Matjiesfontein over forty years ago for a brief breakfast stop on my drive from Johannesburg to Cape Town.
We got to visit the museum of old cars and walk through the dining railway carriage that is part of the museum.
Matjiesfontein is a MUST stop for anyone travelling between Johannesburg and Cape Town.

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"

I loved the Karoo nature.
I loved the Karoo nature. The owner welcomed us with delicious homemade bread, butter, and jam, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Firewood, charcoal, and firelighters are also available for purchase on the property.
Our kids were excited to see several wild animals, including monkeys, springbok, and other small wildlife. The views were incredible, the air was cool and refreshing, and the use of rainwater and fully off-grid systems made the stay exactly what we were looking for.
Free Wi-Fi was available, which was very helpful as there is no cell phone reception in the area.

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.

I found Beaufort West to be a lovely city. Clean. Eateries plenty. Halal KfC and there were other halal smaller private eateries. Petrol stations situated at both entrances. Mac Donalds situated at the BP garage. We had a very early breakfast at KFC in Donkin Street as it was open 24 hours and we had to hit the road as early as possible. Unfortunately we didn't explore the Beaufort West's landmarks. Next time!

A lovely town with immediate access to great gravel cycling - up the Swartberg Pass; to Weltevrede Fig Farm, etc. Lovely art galleries and excellent restaurants. The Lazy Lizard is great; the lamb shanks at the Prince Albert Cafe unbeatable.
