Karoo View Cottages: Kanon & Striata

In the southern section of town, with spectacular views of the Swartberg Mountains, is a gorgeous little abode of your dreams. These quaint one-bedroom cottages are decorated in calming neutral tones and filled with luxuries and thoughtful touches – such as your grocery shopping done on request before you arrive, as well as access to the herb and veggie garden for freshly picked produce. Each luxurious cottage is surrounded by a neat garden, in which you’ll find armchairs around a firepit – ready for Karoo stargazing – and a private Roman-esque splash pool that converts into a wood-fired hot tub.
