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!!

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.

Teuni
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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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"

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.

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.

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.
