The location is amazing and the food from the kitchen is great. There was no dinner kitchen when I stayed so they gave me meat to cook myself in the room and it was a fantastic experience!

We always stay at Lemoenfontein when we travel through the Karoo. This time was with our friends. We all very much enjoyed our stay. Joshua's smile at arrival is always a welcome sight! After a long drive, it was nice to stretch our legs in the several paths behind the house. We were also lucky to spend some upclose time with the resident giraffes around the pool! Beautiful! We had dinner at the farmhouse, which was delicious! It is a little bit outside Beaufort West, but that's what we were looking for and it is worth the short drive!

Fabulous stay. The room was amazing. All the small bits and pieces were top-notch. The hosts were most friendly and pleasant. The breakfast was beautifully set up and the food and coffee were the best we've had so far. Inga recommended and booked an outstanding restaurant, Jeremy's, and took us to a local community centre (I encourage anyone to visit that incredible place).

The location ,the staff,the surroundings were all great .We ordered meat for the braai which came quickly and was so easy. We wanted some sauces to go with it and Miemie got some immediatly. Very attentive! Animals roam around freely, seen giraffes, tortoises and antelopes.

Prince Albert is my favourite small Karoo town.

Prince Albert is my favourite small Karoo town. A truly soul-nourishing environment with plenty to do or the special karoo quite if you need to rest and take it easy. High summer can be very hot, and even that is wonderful to invite rest in the heat of the day. For a small town, the food is fantastic and the klein karoo charm will welcome you every time.

I found Beaufort West to be a lovely city. Clean.

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!

If you are hankering after basic rooms and a bygone age, there are better and less expensive options available. We were disappointed at the price asked for what was a very basic room. We understand that the hotel represents a Victorian building and tradition - nothing wrong with either, but at the price asked, one expects a bedroom that has a little less victoriana and more facilities and amenities expected of a three-star hotel. Offering comfortable and less basic bedrooms can be achieved without changing the nature of the hotel. Very disappointed.

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.

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.

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"

Wonderful location, beautiful renovation of old house.

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.

Prince Albert is a quaint rural town surrounded by beautiful mountain passes. The town presents an opportunity for drives through the spectacular annd scenic Meiringspoort and the Swartberg Pass which easily link to neighboring towns. The town itself has lovely restaurants and great accommodation options. Should anyone choose self-catering accommodation, there is a well-stocked Spar supermarket. A good spot from which to explore the Karoo!

History behind the town and the location is great.

History behind the town and the location is great. Makes the following day's travel short and gives you time to stop along the route at the other towns. Recommend travellers book Beaufort as part of their trip.
