Hotel Désert du Karoo

« It's very quiet, very calm and very well appointed. I had a luxurious chalet with a mini kitchen and fast internet. Do bring food with you as there's not a restaurant at the hotel and you'll have to go back into Carnarvon to eat otherwise - where options are limited. Bring cat treats too if you want to be popular with the feline greeters The host is very welcoming and you'll enjoy seeing the ostriches on this working farm »

« Stayed in one of the cottages for 2 nights. Beautifully appointed, spacious and comfortable. A private veranda overlooking a gorgeous and interesting garden. I would definitely stay here again. Johan is a great host. There when you need him and respecting your privacy when you don’t. A must »

« Excellent! »

« Amazing location if you wish to disconnect from the city life. You’ll have to drive about 12km on a gravel road after you go through the main gate (this is where google map stops). I recommend a car with good ground clearance (Toyota cross worked great for me). The night sky is very clear if you’re a stargazer and the SALT Telescope is about 45 mins drive. The food is great and the cottages are clean and tidy. They also have safari trips since this is a private game reserve. It gets pretty...

« Sehr freundliches Personal und sehr leckeres Essen. Der Blick ist gigantisch. Die Zelt 2 war gut ausgestattet mit einem Kühlschrank Kaffee Tee und Keksen. Einen täglichen Zimmerservice gab es auch wo Handtücher gestellt wurden. Das Badezimmer mit eigenem Whirlpool war großzügig und mit Schaumbad Seifen Shampoo und Conditioner ausgestattet. Der Blick über das Taal mit Springböcken war gigantisch sowohl von der Terrasse als auch aus der Wanne! »

« Perfekter Aufenthalt, Suite geräumig groß und gut ausgestattet, Frühstück hat alles geboten, was unseren Wünschen entsprach, Service war jederzeit zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Wir würden dort wieder buchen. »

« Eine Unterkunft im Nirgendwo. Der Eigentümer gibt sich viel Mühe dem Gast einen schönen Aufenthalt zu ermöglichen. Das Essen war gut zubereitet, die Tischdeko mit viel Liebe jeden Tag anders gestaltet. Wir kommen wieder »

« The safari guide was highly professional and provided very detailed explanations about each animals. He was genuinely attentive and made a real effort to spot animals and guide us closely, which left a very positive impression. The food was also excellent — delicious, generous in portion size, and very satisfying overall. The only downside was the tap water (including the shower). The water was quite salty, and even after showering, my hair felt dry and not very refreshed. Aside from that...
