I stepped back in time, there is a magic energy that fills the air. You can almost hear the horses and carriages going by in the main street, see men dressed in evening wear with hats and all, ladies laughing behind their gloves while their dresses swish side to side... It is a must part of history that should form part of your memories.

What is there not to like... it was the most cosy and perfectly equipped stay away from the buzz. We had a sleepover for only one night during our road trip, but the rest and memories we have will forever be part of our story!

Having a true karoo experience with JJ looking after all our needs. Great historical site and experienced a beautiful sunrise with rusks and coffee. Best stop in the Karoo and will definitely be back.

Great location for overnight travel between Joburg and Cape Town. Beautiful venue, perfectly appointed, great care in decor, and rooms have everything you need - if not more. The braai facility was perfect as were the lamb chops, braaibroodjies and salads.

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.

The property was absolutely perfect for our stop over from Joburg to Cape Town. Wifi was great, facilities provided were clean & organised & being pet friendly made the stay for my GSD comfortable which meant his Mom could relax. The staff were friendly & welcoming & I have shared my experience at ‘Die Herehuis’ with family & friends who also travel the Joburg to Cape Town route regularly.

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.

My interest in Prince Albert peaked from a series filmed there - Recipes for Love and Murder. Unfortunately our stay was over the Christmas break and the town was filled to the brim. A sundowner at the Swartberg Hotel Ladies Bar led to the discovery of this charming Hotel. Dinner across the road at the "Rude Chef" did not disappoint! The owner manager was indeed RUDE and so was the staff member who served us. While the food was good the ambience and service was very poor! Next time I will be sure to book long in advance for dinner reservations at one of the other renowned restaurants.

If you like history it's a lovely place to stay for a night or two. Trains come through the town, if that is your thing. 2 museums both worth a look. Cute gift shop and coffee shop Lovely old bar Not much else London bus is brilliant, does a 10 minute tour of the town

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.

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"

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.

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.

Merweville is a beautiful town! Friendly community.

Merweville is a beautiful town! Friendly community. The town is very clean and neat. The best coffee and breakfast at Die Boekklub with a shop to buy presents for family at home. There is a nougat factory as well - Karoo Blessings, unfortunately they were closed when we passed through, but we could find their yummy treats at "Die Boekklub" in town. The Graveyard is well looked after, we visited a family grave and we were very impressed! Everywhere you drive, people will greet you with a friendly smile! It gives you a warm feeling of caring! Loved the town.

The location is very good The room very Comfortable and neat If you want to stay there without breakfast might be a better idea We paid for breakfast but did not eat.Menu very poor indeed..The owner should make sure all is set in the bedroom before guest arrives .Hand towels are a.must.Toilet rolls are a must.Sugar for tea is a must.and if you pay for breakfast it should be provided.not just scrambled eggs and boerovorce
