76 guests' feedbackAccommodation is very neat, clean and spacious. Everything was of high quality. Excellent and friendly service. We would love to come and stay here again - there is nothing you lack. Would definitely recommend the stay.
Perfect place to switch off biki and just be! Best host and hostess, always friendly and welcoming. Even my woof enjoyed the nice big garden. Will definitely stay there again in the future, this time with a group of friends. A jewel in the small Karoo ️.
Very nice stay. Will visit again.
Owners were extremely helpful and we had a very nice stay. Neat and clean. With everywhere an extra something. Nice soap. Flowers on the bed. Highly recommended. Tidy.
Recommendation: Provide rechargeable light during power failure.
Very nice farn style accommodation, nice clean and friendly people, will stay there again.
Very peaceful and quiet and lovely sitting on the porch in the winter sun - and walking around.
Was a pleasant and quiet place, very old farm style. Could do with a bit more facilities, with regards to the self catering and the kitchen equipment. Management and staff were all very friendly and welcoming.
The towels and beds were lovely, but the interior of the rooms not as clean as expected from a place that is rented out. This may be due to the reed ceilings? The communal kitchen is outside next to the communal braai area with the crockery.
Value for money and tidy.
Everything was in order and comfortable.
Very nice place with good service and reasonably priced.
The guesthouse is highly recommended. The breakfast at the paddock was unbeatable. Feel free to try the omelette.
Very peaceful atmosphere. Spacious room. Neat and clean.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stopover. Bella de Karoo is a quaint little place with a unique charm! The patio furniture was a bit covered in dust and spiderwebs, but otherwise, everything else was super neat! Also, I'm not sure where the first photo was taken, but the building wasn't on the property where we stayed.
Yes. Very nice. Excellent mattresses.
I have to compliment the photographer, or rather the person who edited the photos. It looks like a cool setup on the website, but it's not a true representation. Apart from the fact that the place is old and needs maintenance, the water pressure was weak under the shower, the kettle has to stand on the floor to boil water, it's 20 Km from Calitzdorp and not 13 Km as told, etc. The room was confirmed as one with a double bed when I booked but was then twin beds in separate rooms, how exciting. But surely one cannot expect everyone to offer a good experience for R800 a night. We travel often and there is good affordable accommodation available everywhere, unfortunately this was not one of them.
Stay there again? Definitely no. Beds are extremely uncomfortable. To crown it all there was flees that bit me all over my legs. Rooms poorly prepared, extremely dusty and spider webs even around bathtub taps. In a room for 3, there were only towels for 2 people and we had to ask for toilet paper.
The host was not available to meet us. Four large dogs jumped at our car and after a struggle we got hold of someone. We did not feel safe or comfortable sleeping there.
Loved everything! We'll definitely visit again.
Well-established property in the Karoo, ideal for people traveling within the Karoo that need an affordable, clean, and friendly place to stay. The food is good, the staff is very friendly. The only downside was the Wi-Fi. The signal was very poor because there's still no fiber in the area, which perhaps makes it ideal for people who want to disconnect completely for a few days!
Very neat, delicious food and very clean. The hostess is helpful and very friendly!
We were very kindly received with a nice plate of cooked food. The accommodation is very nice, clean and tidy and you sleep so peacefully there.
We booked four rooms and everyone had a really good time and slept, even if it was just the one night. The service and the breakfast were excellent. The proverbial "extra mile" walked by Denise is exceptional. I would stay here again anytime.
I will be going there again. Hopefully soon.
Air conditioner would be an asset.
Friendly staff, very helpful and accommodating. Wifi is not great because there's no fiber or cellphone reception.
Not 4-star as advertised.
Very convenient with the restaurant just around the corner.
Make an effort for personal service. Convenient, clean, tidy, comfortable. Nice Karoo farm that we were looking for. We appreciate the personal service we received.
Bella de Karoo's people went out of their way for us. Many thanks to Amanda Koen for making us feel so at home. She is truly a beautiful person. The breakfast at the paddock was delicious. We will definitely use Bella de Karoo again.
Thank you Amanda for going the extra mile to see that everything was perfect and caring for a traveller who had been on the road the whole day and was tired and hungry. Your kindness does not go unnoticed!
Very calm and management very helpful.
We had a bad experience. Visitors should be aware that the rooms are all located next to each other in an old, larger homestead and there is no effective ceiling. In other words you hear every movement and noise from the rooms next door. Next to us, a family with small children moved in at 21:00 in the evening and made noise until 23:30. Sleep was definitely not an option. In addition, we had no water in the morning when we wanted to shower. No what. The amenities are all crammed together in a small room. Nothing is really in its place.
The hostess went out of her way to make us feel at home and even made us barbecues. We will definitely come and stay again.
We stayed over at Bella de Karoo on New Year's eve en route to the Eastern Cape via Route 62. The tranquil accommodation on a Karoo guest farm was clean, comfortable and spacious. The hosts arranged a BBQ under clear, balmy, starry African skies! A special experience!
Bella de Karoo is located about 15 minutes out of Calitzdorp (on the way to Oudtshoorn) and is very remote. As a result, it's very peaceful but you need to be aware that you will have to drive to one of the towns for dinner. Our hosts were fabulous and were generous enough to loan us their car to go back to Calitzdorp for dinner (we were on motorbikes and it was raining). The facilities are adequate, bedding good and bathrooms clean. Perhaps a little too much furniture in the room which results in a perceived lack of space and a dark environment.
Bathroom of room 1 needs serious attention. Shower overflows bathroom floor. Very uncomfortable!
We paid for room 4, which can accommodate 5 people, but when we arrived there was some problem and they said they only received the information from the website yesterday morning that we are 2 adults and 2 children. They wanted to give us a room that was being worked on and it didn't smell good. We ended up staying in room 5 which can only accommodate 3 people and then just asked for an extra single bed mattress on the floor for our teenage daughter to sleep on. I was unhappy because I had already booked the accommodation in advance and specifically Room 4 and we did not get what we paid for.
Emile and Letitia are very friendly and went out of their way to make us feel at home. Very neat and great food. Can recommend Bella de Karoo. Very pet- and child-friendly.
Friendly reception, very comfortable room with a double and single bed, bathroom with bath and shower, fridge, kettle, coffee, tea - attractively furnished and everything is clean and tidy. Large porch, beautiful garden and wonderful silence.
Stayed and ate very well. Small fridge availability would be welcome.
We only slept here for one night. Cute and authentic farm - a pity was that there was great tennis on that night and there were no TVs in the rooms. It was in the middle of winter and the bathroom with the cement floors was extremely cold. There was no heater in the room, but the kind young man who received us took care of it. The pies and dessert we ordered were delicious and the table very nicely set. The company of the cats at breakfast was a highlight for me personally. They love breakfast bacon!
The room was very cosy and well furnished. However, the restaurant was not what it was made out to be.
Main house is an old Karoo farmhouse and was amazing. The rooms wouldn't work because they were promised to have a fridge and microwave in them, then there weren't. The transfer to main house was good. Breakfast at paddock and grilled cakes were delicious.
Very clean, excellent facilities, all round excellent, apart from breakfast at R100 - very high charge for a basic breakfast. Would have been better to go into town.
Received extremely hospitably. Accommodation in a very characterful room (rather a one-man apartment with everything you may need for self-catering accommodation) and unique bathroom. Everything very neat, tidy and charming. Long, lovely porch with tables, chairs and couches and around every corner something artistic, surprising and in character with the old, but fresh historical buildings and setting. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Pure pleasure.
We traveled around the Klein Karoo for 10 days together with our two big dogs, a Rifrug and a Labrador. We stayed at Bella de Karoo for 10 days. The owners went out of their way to make us all feel at home. Our last few days were spent up in the mountain hut (Bush Lodge). Even though there is no electricity or hot water, we regretted not spending the whole 10 days there. It's incredibly beautiful, completely private and gives you a view of the entire Klein Karoo. One feels one with nature. It was also perfect for the dogs and we could go for a nice walk with them. Thank you for the wonderful experience, Bella de Karoo!
Excellent accommodation, good home cooking and amazingly relaxing – not to mention great hosts! Will definitely make Bella de Karoo my place of choice during further trips – and will recommend to colleagues!
See stars.
I enjoyed the accommodation, delicious food and tranquil atmosphere.
Very hospitable, helpful. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Restful.
We all enjoyed the peaceful setting of the Karoo. The room was very nicely decorated and very clean. The food we all enjoyed and where we sat for breakfast was delightful as we were entertained by the peacocks, chickens and duck who came along. We will definitely return for a second visit.
I am disappointed with the setup. The place to stay and the place to eat are about 500 meters from each other. No carports available. No air conditioning. The furniture in the room in the old farmstead where we stayed is old and tired and the setup with the microwave oven standing on a chair looks bad. The room our children stayed in in the building on the ad is neat.
Enjoy the most delicious grilled cakes for breakfast at Bella de Karoo's little shop! Spacious rooms with everything needed.
Thank you very much, I am very satisfied and enjoyed it very much. Place is neat and people are very hospitable.
Our stay was amazing. The most beautiful and cleanest rooms with the most beautiful view and the tastiest food. Everything perfect. Thank you for your hospitality.
Nice reception. Everything was perfect!
Had a very pleasant stay here. They went to a lot of trouble to move us to another room. They even left a lamp and little blanket outside, so we could enjoy the sunset in comfort. A very nice place. They also accepted my dog there.
Quiet and get the tranquility of the farm.
Comfortable and clean accommodation. Very nice area, peaceful between the trees and animals.
Great value for money. Friendly service, great linen and duvet, delicious food at the padstal. Stunning area.
We had a great time and the hospitality is top notch, will definitely do it again.
Very friendly reception, clean rooms with attention to detail, everything we needed for our barbecue that evening. Quiet atmosphere and a delicious breakfast! I can definitely recommend Bella de Karoo!
The only problem was the waiting time for breakfast. The grilled cakes are delicious so it was at least worth it!
We had a very nice stay. Next time I will make sure we get there earlier to make better use of the barbeque and visiting facilities.
The room was clean and tidy and had beautiful antique furniture in it. Braai facilities were more than adequate, even braai packs were offered. I would recommend Bella de Karoo to anyone anytime as a stopover or even to relax for a weekend. Also remember to visit Smitswinkel.
Their dishes are top notch. Hospitality and that nice I-feel-at-home feeling! And then the Father gave more hard rain on the tin roof in the arid Karoo (the guest house has no gutters, because here they are redundant).
We only stayed one night at Bella de Karoo. On arrival we were kindly received and explained how everything works. The stay in the farmhouse was very nice, especially for our city-dwelling children. Breakfast the next morning at Smitswinkel was also top notch.
This is good 2 star accommodation. The service was friendly and the beds clean and comfortable. The bathrooms can be made more inviting by upgrading the floor and shower a bit. Good food from the paddock! A beautiful setting with a beautiful sunset.
Bella de Karoo is well located on a beautiful farm with excellent facilities, and very good and friendly service!
All communication with Frances and her staff was prompt and friendly. Warm welcome; facilities spotless, tidy and everything one needs. Meals from and at Smitswinkel delicious and at a reasonable cost. Nice dry white wine from the area available. For bird watchers quite a few species to aim the binoculars at!
See the stars below.
Delicious! Friendly service, comfortable and well equipped rooms. Wonderful experience.
A bit far from both Oudtshoorn and Calitzdorp, but great bird life in the trees (holy ibis colony). Very nice people. Braai area was a bit poor, but then again it is a B&B. No problems experienced that required assistance during our self-catering stay.
We had a wonderful time at Bella de Karoo.
