371 guests' feedbackGreat place to saddle up after a day behind the wheel. The place was deliciously warm on a chilly morning. We would definitely stay here again.
Very comfortable, nothing missing.
It was better than expected, well equipped and very tidy. Friendly hostess. Slept wonderfully peacefully.
What a wonderful gem! Thank you. You will see me again.
Very nice! We will definitely stay there again.
Yes, we had a very nice stay. Have stayed there twice and will again.
Lovely cool flat in the summer. Just what was needed for a rest!
I personally did not stay there, my fiance's parents did. She loved it, only complaint was that I wish there was a hanging cabinet and small table inside to make a sandwich. But for the price it's perfect!
Everything was 100% perfect. Very clean, tidy and everything you need for an overnight stay and self-catering.
The places are very nice and tastefully decorated. It's very comfortable inside, as well as the garden section. The hostess is very friendly and helpful. We will definitely want to stay at Karoo Vines again.
Mariëtte, her husband and everyone involved were particularly friendly and hospitable. We will visit there again for sure!
Very neat and terribly beautiful decor.
Was really very nice. Everything is so neat and clean.
Old fashioned gem with character.
We had a very nice stay. Will definitely stay there again and can recommend the place with great confidence. We have stayed in Karoo Vine as well as Karoo Cottage and both are very pleasant places to spend the night.
Very spacious, neat, comfortable and quiet accommodation. It is just as it is described. We had a very nice and safe overnight stay and will definitely do so again in the future.
Very, very nice stay. Everything neat and clean.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. It's really great value for money.
Our stay was very short, but the house is decorated and presented very nicely. We will make use of this accommodation again.
Very good value for money.
We had a very nice stay.
Nice and spacious, everything we needed for our overnight stay was available. Will definitely use Karoo Vine Cottages again. Delicious pampering bedding.
It was delicious! Neat, clean, comfortable. I will definitely stay there again. Thank you very much!
It's a place to stay for sure. We stay a lot in Graaff Reinet, but Karoo Vine Cottages was really exceptionally good. The place is extremely neat and very tastefully furnished. We have already booked a place again with the hostess for three weeks when we have to drive through town again. Karoo Vine Cottages is highly recommendable and we will not be staying anywhere else in Graaff Reinet anytime soon.
Had a great stay, slept safely and wonderfully. The beds are comfortable. Will come again.
A perfectly maintained guesthouse. A welcome surprise was some milk in the fridge that makes coffee so much nicer than alternatives.
It is more than we expected. Such a cute, neat little place centrally located and many attractions.
We had a nice stay. The bed was nice and warm, pillows comfortable. Everything was pretty clean. Only negative is that we could clearly hear the neighbors all the time, which makes me think they must have heard us too.
Pleasant stay. Well organized.
The stay was wonderful. Hostess very welcoming, snack on every pillow, lovely bedding!
Convenient easy access. A comfortable, attractive room with all the amenities we needed for an overnight stay.
Wonderful unit, well appointed. Will definitely come again. Very valuable heritage treasure chest.
Very spacious, neat and comfortably furnished accommodation. We had a very nice and safe overnight stay and will definitely do so again in the future.
Outstanding. Will definitely stay there again.
We drive through Graaff-Reinet about once a year, and this is the perfect overnight accommodation for 2 people. It's safe, comfortable and tastefully furnished. We will definitely stay here again in the future.
It was beautiful, neat and very comfortable!
Our stay was comfortable, and the location was safe and great. We got a good restaurant recommendation from our host and enjoyed our stay.
Excellent stay!
We will definitely stay here again. Amenities are good. It is in a peaceful environment.
It's a nice place for sure.
We will definitely stay here again if we come to Graaff-Reinet again.
A comfortable stay in a cosy rustic cottage.
Central and secure. All you need for two people on a short trip.
Very nice place in the heart of Graaff-Reinet.
Very nice stay, thank you.
Only overnight but it was good.
I looked at so many places when I had to choose accommodation for our trip. All significantly more expensive than Karoo Vine and can't compare to what you get. We had a really nice stay. It's in a cul-de-sac, so it's quiet and peaceful. Decent bed, nice decor and nice shower.
Clean, stylish, loads of character! Gem in the small town.
Absolutely. Great night's rest in a peaceful environment.
It was perfect for our stopover to the Drakensberg. Very neat and comfortable!
Received early communication from Mariëtte about key and WiFi. In town but it's very quiet! A very special place to stay, clean, tidy and very tastefully furnished! It's truly one of the best overnight places we've ever used! Our woofs also had a great time! High standard!
What a beautiful place. Very neat and very tasteful. Has everything needed. Will come again for sure.
We had a very pleasant stay. The venue is well positioned, quiet and off the busy main roads. It is next to a primary school but that did not interfere with our experience at all. The off-street parking was an added bonus.
Beautiful flatland cottage. Well equipped. The braai and equipment were a bonus. The host was also very helpful.
It was very nice. Will stay there again!
Our stay was so great and it was such a homey feeling. I would love to go there again.
Wonderful accommodation. Beautifully decorated. Extremely comfortable beds and linen. Safe parking and an amazing bath after a long day traveling. Highly recommend!
Very peaceful, safe and quiet place to stay. Was very nice would definitely recommend.
I stayed overnight in the Karoo Vine Cottages and it was the ideal place to rest after a long day's driving. It was well equipped, tasteful and very good value for money! The hosts were also very helpful, yet you feel private.
Very nice, very cute cottage, highly recommended.
Very nice. Comfortable.
Very nice. Beautiful house with good location.
Comfortable, tidy and very friendly host. Close to everything you can walk and really very cute!
Very nice overnight stay.
We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful place. Thank you for your kind reception. Your place is so beautiful!
Yes, very good, was an excellent stay.
We received clear communication from the host at all times. We were warmly welcomed by the very friendly host, as well as the 2 beautiful retriever dogs. Lovely safe environment, cats parked behind locked gates. Will definitely recommend Karoo Vine! Thank you.
Karoo Vine Cottages is located in a quiet part of Graaff-Reinet, but is also around the corner from shops and a petrol station. Very pleasant stay that I would definitely recommend.
Had a wonderful stay. Will happily recommend.
Was delicious. Will definitely stay there again.
The accommodation was central enough that we could walk to all the attractions. Everything needed was there.
It was good and very quiet. Lighting well.
We had a very nice stay even if it was only one night. The hostess was very helpful and kindly helped when there was an error with the booking.
Ideal location on the way back from the Cape to Mpumalanga. Easy, hassle-free check-in process and comfortable stay.
Had a nice stay, safe and comfortable.
Very nice place, we would gladly stay there anytime.
See stars.
A pleasant overnight stop.
Lovely old Cape atmosphere, clean, tidy and safe.
Enjoyed our short stay. Parking is a challenge if you have a big vehicle.
Lovely. Parking is a bit tight.
We had an incredibly nice stay and it is definitely good value for money. The place is very nice and tidy and will definitely stay there again.
Very nice stay in a quiet and tidy place to stay.
Very nice place, clean and modern.
A surprise from the moment we walked in, neat and very well equipped.
The cottage was centrally located, so everything was within walking distance, allowing you to park your car and enjoy all that the region had to offer on foot.
Very nice place with everything you need. Nice bed to sleep on. Good choice for overnight stay.
Brilliant value for money. We had everything we needed and the room was cosy and clean.
Very good value for money. Neat, clean and spacious.
I stayed!
This facility was absolutely lovely. Clean, central to most amenities and situated in a quiet cul de sac. Beautiful view towards the Valley of Desolation. Friendly host and staff.
Very kind and helpful host. Beautiful, comfortable little cottage. Perfect for our stay of 2 nights. Close to school, but no noise level. Good value for money!
I stayed in the stone wall cottage and had everything I needed. The cottage is well situated close to a local school.
Very neat and peaceful overnight stay.
Quiet area, within convenient walking distance of restaurants. Everything for self-catering was available. Comfortable veranda to enjoy refreshments in Karoo air. No dining table inside.
My stay there is always nice, I definitely recommend it!
We stayed here en route to the Western Cape, the room had all we needed.
Very nice stay. Everything was in place and tidy. Hostess has all information about key, WiFi etc. passed on
Our stay was very nice, the hostess was very friendly and helpful, contacted us to see if we needed anything. Everything was good and we enjoyed it a lot. The old furniture in the cottage is wonderful and we like it very much. We would definitely recommend it. Very good service.
For a stopover we enjoyed it.
Very well appointed. Adequate kitchen equipment. The place was clean and organised. Old world appearance but that's what makes it appealing. The host was awesome. Welcoming and helpful.
Our stay was comfortable, however I did not realise that there was only one bathroom to share for 4 adults.
Ideal overnight stay.
The unit is very well equipped and very nicely furnished. We slept well and everything worked as advertised. Air conditioning will make the stay perfect, even if one has to pay more. Thank you very much!
Lovely place to spend the night.
Charming countryside atmosphere, attention to detail, clean, safe, and has a welcoming smell. However, the bedding was not fresh and clean as the sheets had signs of being rumpled with some stains of dirt and blood.
This was a comfortable stopover - everything we needed.
Thank you very much for the clean unit. We thoroughly enjoyed the silence after a long day on the road.
It was very pleasant and much more than we expected.
See stars.
Very nice, well-organised, and a great place.
Had a wonderful stay. I was surprised at how big the place is. There are ants at the sink. The place is very neat and clean. Will stay there again for sure.
See stars.
Many owners confuse an old-worldly look with practicality, which should always come first - old brass water taps that are difficult to use. Apart from that, there were no gripes. Air conditioning would have helped! The cottages were built in the old Dutch style with high ceilings and very attractive. I would definitely recommend the accommodation set in a very peaceful, quiet and safe locality, a very short distance from shops and restaurants. The hosts were very pleasant and helpful.
Nice stay, but not very easy to find the place. Not all streets have signage. The rest of the visit was pleasant and the braai drum was available.
Very comfortable, neat room.
Is ideal for overnight stays.
Comfortable overnight accommodation.
The place is beautifully and tastefully furnished, spotless and tidy. Unfortunately, there was no extra toilet paper, the ceiling fan didn't work, and the light bulb for the bedside light kept flickering. The master bedroom does not have a mirror, which is difficult with the hair dryer. It would have been great if the windows could open and stay open in the master bedroom. Fortunately, these are all small things that can be ironed out and fixed.
Mattresses are very firm and hard. Uncomfortable night's rest. No person seen. But owners were at home.
Hospitable and nice stay.
We had a very nice stay. We had a security problem, but the host was very helpful.
Two things that were a bit of an issue. 1. The only fan in the room is a ceiling fan and it is not positioned over the bed; it is kind of in no man's land, so it does not help much. 2. Parking, especially if you are the second vehicle to park, can be a massive challenge if you are not a seasoned driver.
It is a very pleasant place to stay.
What a lovely stay. Karoo Vine Cottages is a delightful cottage with everything needed for a warm and comfortable stay. It was excellent value for money, and our host was most helpful, and communication was good.
Clean and value for money.
Very nice stay. Quiet and peaceful. Close to all the attractions.
Provided everything I needed for an overnight stay.
Only stayed one night but very satisfied with the stay.
Very nice stay, was a very hot day (40+), and the coolness of the unit helped. Lots of nice places to eat nearby. Lots to see.
Thank you very much, we had a great stay.
Was unfortunate that neighbor's cool box was stolen. Please look to wall on south side for security. Think person got over there.
Very neat, clean and nicely decorated. Only problem was neighbors who honked loudly at night and also bright car lights/spotlights that were switched on a few times which shone directly into the room's window at night and before sunrise which woke the children up.
The cottages were secluded and easily accessible once you find it. The rooms were well kept but the bathroom sink was dirty, the towels had dirty spots on them, and there were dirty linens on the beds. The rooms are close to one another, and we could hear the guests next door talking and laughing.
Space is very claustrophobic. Windows wont stay open unless you prop them open with a stick, and give straight onto street, so everyone could see in, if one could manage to open the shutters, which we couldn't. You can't draw the curtains back either. There is nowhere to sit and relax: the only sofa is positioned so you look at the cooker and oven. There was no ice in the freezer, only some pink gloopy stuff in the ice trays. . Shower tray leaked making the tiled bathroom floor very slippy. Towels were old and far from fluffy. Mariette was responsive on WhatsApp.
Place is very nice and tastefully restored. Few shortcomings at the cost of R800 per night for 2. Very good stay.
Very nice stay. Beautiful place.
Cute cottage. Well equipped and clean.
The beds were very comfortable, TV and WiFi were also very pleasant. Would recommend Karoo Vine Cottage. It is also very safe.
Great place for the night to stay over. Beautifully decorated and very clean and safe. Excellent value for money.
It's a beautiful, comfortable place with everything you need, exactly as in the photos. It is also very well located in town. Apart from the pillows being flat and the mattress being slightly uncomfortable, it was really good value for money. was also a very good hostess and our privacy was respected.
Everything was perfect. Very nice about stopping on the way to the sea with safe parking.
Absolutely loved it. The decor was so meticulously chosen and displayed, and we love it.
Yes, very nice stay.
Place is comfortably furnished. Owner very helpful. Would highly recommend.
Very impressed. Everything was neat, clean, spacious and beautiful.
I recommend Karoo Vine Cottages. It was clean, with secure parking, and we had a great stay. Will sleep there again.
It was very comfortable and tidy, exactly what we needed after the long journey!
We had a great stay, the place was luxurious, clean, everything you needed. Wanted to braai but didn't ask if there were braai facilities, there weren't. Still had a nice meal at the eatery that was nearby.
Beautiful place, authentic, clean, safe. Very convenient.
Fantastic, comfortable, nice and clean.
Very nice, beautiful and neat. Hostess also very helpful.
Beautiful place and hostess was very friendly, and directions and instructions were easy to access the place. Everything was very nice clean and tidy. Very nice stay there!
Very cute place.
Our stay was very pleasant.
Had a great stay and explored the town.
Everything about my stay was perfect, from the efficient administration/booking process to the cleanliness and convenience of the place, not to mention the well-trained staff. I appreciated the desk and chair in the room where I could work. The bed was comfortable with clean linen and fresh towels, and the kitchen fitted with everything you need. My car was safely parked behind a security gate right in front of the door, making it easy to carry luggage to and fro.
Clean, tidy, everything needed for an overnight stay. I had a great stay and can definitely recommend Karoo Vine Cottages.
Affordable overnight stay, highly recommended.
Very hospitable, luxurious, everything needed. We asked for a braai drum and it was provided. The hostess really made an effort to make us feel welcome.
Beautiful, clean and tidy place.
Beautifully restored historic link house in Graaff-Reinet. All amenities you may need for a night or two's sleepover. Secure parking behind locking gate. Good value for money.
Spacious accommodation for overnight en route. The hostess messaged key collection instructions and the pin early in the day. Parking behind the secure gate is an issue, as was the case in this instance, which was an inconvenience for both guests occupying the two cottages (my car and their large bakkie, which couldn't fit or be manoeuvred into the carport). The towels could be replaced.
Very neat. Excellent service delivery. Would highly recommend it.
We were there for a wedding. Perfect for an overnight stay! Would definitely recommend.
Lovely old world cottage, beautifully clean and tidy. Much attention is paid to detail.
This is our second time staying here. The room is equipped with everything needed, including a lovely bed with good linen. There is also a kitchen with coffee, tea, biscuits and also a small container of milk. It was delicious with the coffee! Will definitely stay there again.
Beautiful, clean, tidy and everything you need was there.
Very nice stay, the WiFi was only a problem because we couldn't really watch TV. It was also very slow with other devices.
This was really top notch, neat, comfortable, clean. Thank you very much.
Perfect place to stay for a few days in Graaff-Reinet. More or less walking distance from everything. The decor was beautiful and a very peaceful area. We could even watch the rugby on the TV!
Neat and clean, private and nice view. Secure parking.
Quiet and safe environment, cottage is cozy and has everything that may be needed. Will definitely stay here again in the future.
Loved staying here. Will be back.
We stayed at Karoo Vine Cottages for the weekend and we were very pleased with everything. Very neat and clean. Will definitely stay there again.
We stayed for two nights.
Safe overnight stay in very quiet part of Graaf-Reinett. WiFi excellent. Solar panels and inverter ensure that there is always power available!
Safe, clean and affordable. Our 2 wofies were welcome. Makes a huge difference thank you. You see me again.
Close to nice places to eat. Will definitely use Karoo Vine Cottages again. We felt very safe and were within walking distance of nice places to eat. Would love to use their hospitality again.
The unit has everything you need for a one or two night stay. It is safe and comfortable in a quiet and peaceful environment. You must be able to drive to use the covered parking.
Was just the place to spend the night.
Would be good if maybe there could be only one stove (gas or electric) and one pan and saucepan.
Very clean, tidy overnight accommodation. Access easy. We slept well. Would perhaps only suggest a braai pan or "induction" plate for the kitchen. Also very cute.
Beautiful old house with secure off road parking and a front area to sit outside and watch the world go by.
The unit was decorated beautifully and everything you would need is available.
It is ideal for 2 or 4 persons. The two cottages, where 2 people sleep per cottage, are right next to each other. It's private, very safe, and with everything you need.
A lot of effort has gone into making it appear nice and calm. Small detail and everything has been thought of for a nice stay, even cookies for sale in the room. Bonus is that they are geared for loadshedding!
I recently enjoyed a lovely evening's stay in one of Karoo Vine Cottages' cottages in Graaff-Reinet! The cottage is beautifully decorated with a peaceful atmosphere that quickly makes you feel at home. I really appreciated the lightning fast WiFi and it made my stay very pleasant. The check-in process was so convenient, especially since the hostess sent me an early morning WhatsApp message to welcome me and give directions. It made things a lot easier. The cottages themselves are cozy and extremely clean. I loved the cleanliness, it reassured me and I could relax wonderfully. The hostess was very friendly and made me feel really at home. I will definitely stay here again in the future. It really offers value for your money and I can recommend it with confidence.
Karoo Vine Cottages was ideally situated for us to walk and explore Graaff Reinet. It provided us with warmth and comfort on the chilly winter nights after our host made us feel welcome and at home.
The unit was well equipped. The cookies in the basket were a hit!
Bonus, they run on sustainable energy so we had no load shedding!
Was is wonderful overnight cottage. Would just maybe appreciate a small table with 4 chairs in kitchen for meals and maybe a small oven. Will definitely stay here again Bby!
The environment is peaceful and we had a very nice stay.
It's worth going home here. The place is nicely decorated and pleasant to stay in. The porch is definitely an asset. We could have stayed here longer.
I chose this place last minute and I was pleasantly surprised! What a neat place and good value!
They thought of everything to make the stay comfortable.
Karoo Vine offers everything you need for an overnight stop. Would definitely recommend.
There were one or two things that we would recommend as self-catering travellers.
Lovely room with en-suite and full kitchen. Very centrally situated in Graaff-Reinet for sightseeing and restaurants.
A lot of attention to detail, great value for money and will recommend it to others. Will stay there again.
Everything speaks of quality. Modern, practical, comfortable. Everything that is needed. Will definitely stay there again.
The room was absolutely beautiful and so well laid out.
Karoo Vine Cottages has everything you need for an overnight or even a few days stay. The heater was a bonus in the wet, cold weather. We would love to come again.
Easy directions and comfortable accommodation.
There is only one and that is I will go back again and again.
Silence and comfort will be hard to beat anywhere else. Add in safe parking and you have everything.
The check in process was so simple, I wonder why more places don't do it this way. The solar power was also a big plus, then you don't have to shape your plans around a load shedding schedule. I had a wonderful stay, I will definitely come again!
The room has an old world atmosphere. Cozy and cozy. Very clean and tidy, with everything you need. Thank you very much!
Beautiful place in a cul de sac. Everything needed is there and Mariëtte is an excellent hostess. Secure parking.
Neat, clean and safe. Everything that is needed.
It was a lovely stopover on our way. Would recommend anytime and will definitely stay there again in the future. Neat and well furnished.
Will be back next year.
Beautifully set out and extremely comfortable. Impressed. Thankfully we don't have a large vehicle, but managed to park.
Pleasant stay and you immediately feel at home. Well equipped. Could enjoy driving around the area and then return to peaceful accommodation. Even the "sitting in the sun on the porch" made it even more special.
Very nice stay, thank you very much!
See stars.
The cottage had everything you could possibly need. The only issue is the parking is quite tight. Luckily our car is small.
Will stay there again and recommend.
Would stay there again any day and also close to restaurants.
Lovely location, ideally equipped - we had a positive experience ourselves - thank you!
It was really a beautiful clean place.
Thank you very much. Als was so beautiful and clean and tidy. Blessings to you with your beautiful place.
Very nice to stay over if you are on your way to the sea.
Only problem was the directions. I suggest using Stockenstrom Street rather than Cradock Street.
The place was extremely neat and so incredibly well furnished. There is not one thing that the hostess has not thought of. The place was located close to good restaurants. The check-in process was also very easy and the hostess was available at any time for help and questions.
Great value for money and great customer service.
Great accommodation, very comfortable, clean and lovely atmosphere.
Great place to spend the night and recharge for next part of your journey.
Beautifully appointed and private.
Interior decoration of Vine Cottage is very creative, original and tasteful! Will definitely stay there again. Successful communication by hostess regarding location of and access to guest house. Thank you very much for a pleasant stay!
Had a wonderful stay, everything is very chic, clean and tidy and all the basic necessities are available even a small gas stove for when the power is off. Bed and bedding are top notch! Parking space is slightly limited for large vehicles, but not insurmountable. Had a great stay there, thank you very much!
Delicious. Ideal overnight stay.
Unit was very neat and clean. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful place. Stunning effect with the old stone wall. Everything one needs. Quiet area. Might just put in an extra fan for the karoo heat, but everything else was perfect.
Very pleasant. Highly recommend.
Very neat and clean place. Will definitely stay there again in the future if we pass by. Parking just a bit tricky if you drive a large vehicle.
Practical. clean. very neat Everything one might need. Secure parking under a roof. Value for money. Tip: maybe a sponge for the "geyser overflow" I sleep a lot but the loud drip can bother people who struggle to sleep. Many thanks to the owner's extra effort to make our stay comfortable!
Very good value for money. Located close to schools, ideal for sporting and touring events. Very quiet area, would definitely stay there again. Secure parking.
Very nice and neat. Great space and very comfortable. Would recommend for overnight and longer stays.
Warm and friendly welcome. The ideal place to spend the night and explore the surroundings. Would love to stay there again if I'm in the area.
Very nice place to spend the night.
Very friendly and helpful hostess. Place very nicely furnished and very peaceful surroundings.
Friendly, clean and cosy stopover. Will definitely recommend it. Excellent value for money.
See stars.
Very friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay there again and would recommend anytime. Some of the best.
Absolutely value for money! Very tasteful and neat. Good and friendly communication with the owner. Will definitely stay there again.
The place is clean and just what we needed. WiFi was a bit weak, but otherwise it was perfect and clean.
The unit was very tidy and exactly as advertised with a few extras such as a rechargeable fan and WiFi that works through the load shedding hours. The hostess went out of her way with everything and already sent me a message in the morning with all the rains. I would definitely recommend Karoo Vine Cottages.
Very peaceful place to stay. Everything you need for an overnight stay. Very neat.
We felt at home as soon as we stepped in. It was wonderful to "come home" after such a long and exhausting journey. The owner is so friendly and helpful! For sure I will not stay overnight in another place in Graaff Reinet again.
Everything neat and in its place. Even the power problem could not sour our stay.
Beautiful clean and tidy place with everything you need. Thank you very much.
100% recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Graaff Reinet overnight or even longer. Beautiful interior with amazing attention to detail. Definitely booking this stay again in future!
Very friendly hostess.
Beautiful, clean and tidy overnight accommodation with fantastic customer service. We would definitely stay here again.
Absolutely loved staying over on our holiday roadtrip. Perfectly located, extremely clean, beautiful interior, attention to detail.
We will definitely try to stay there again if available when we are next overnighting in Graaff Reinet.
Everything was smooth. The place and area are good.
Stay was pleasant. House very clean and nicely equipped. Have great appreciation. All hitch is the extremely uncomfortable gate opening and closing process, especially in the rain. Other than that, everything was really nice.
Very neat and beautiful. Parking just awkward and maybe needs an aircon. It was also very nice.
Very neat place. Just struggling with the TV. Couldn't watch anything.
Was a bit confusing where entrance is as it is located around the block at the back. Nice stay, thank you very much. Place is clean and tidy and spacious. Quiet and peaceful.
Graaf is usually our overnight stop for family travels. The accommodation has all you need for that purpose, including safe parking, and it is very neat, fresh, and clean. It's off the main road, so it's easy to get a good night's sleep. A lovely bath makes for good relaxation after a long drive, which is nice. We also love the old Karoo house architecture.
Very neat cottage. Loved our stay. Safe parking.
The bedroom was wonderfully spacious and cool, the bed most comfortable to ensure a good night's sleep. Our favourite sleepover on our trip, both on the way up and down! Zara and Cooper the Labradors/Retrievers were adorable and spoiled accordingly! Parting was such sweet sorrow.
Was pleasantly surprised with how neat the place looked when I walked in. Very well equipped kitchen. The owner's road directions were complete and her communication friendly. I will definitely stay here again in the future.
Stonewall cottage was the ideal place to spend the night. Will certainly use the facility again.
Very comfortable and well-equipped.
Parking a small problem, especially when it rains and it rained!
Good place to stay, well located. Has everything needed.
Impressed with the kitchenette, coffee, tea, biscuits and cold milk in the fridge. Plenty of seating in the room and on the veranda.
It was a very nice house for us and our dog children after the long drive. Very neat and comfortable house. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much, we had a wonderful stay in Karoo Vine Cottage. Was able to explore the beautiful town and beautiful surroundings - Valley of desolation: wow! Just a suggestion: a top sheet on the bed would be good. In the Karoo heat you can't sleep under a duvet, we simply took duvets out of demolition. Other than that, everything was first class!
Cute little place, beautiful, clean and tidy and very central, but in a quiet area. We had a wonderful stay.
Good beds, modern equipment, large shower - everything needed is there.
Unit is very clean, everything you need inside. Unit is very well located, close to all the restaurants and town. Safety is very good, vehicle under cover.
We stayed in Stonewall cottage. Beautiful decor, lovely cool room. The website shows that braai space is available, but upon confirmation we heard that it is only at some of the units. Still, the hostess went out of her way to help us. Excellent customer service, definitely recommended.
Great stopover on way to Plett. Very comfortable.
Awesome place for a quick overnight stay, our family really enjoyed it.
The accommodation was very comfortable. It was very warm and a top sheet would have been nice on the bed. Duvet was way too warm.
Perfectly located for a visit to the Valley of Desolation. Air conditioning would be welcome.
Our stay in Karoo Vine Cottages was very comfortable and pleasant. No complaints. The cottage was well equipped, clean and tidy. I would recommend it to anyone.
I was looking for an overnight place on my trip to the Southern Cape. Nice quiet area and very neat for staying. I would like to use the facility again in the future. Thank you.
It was very cold inside. For winter season a heater or electric blankets will be very nice.
Comfortable place to stay, I would use it again. Please make just make sure the television remote controls have batteries that are charged.
A clean and convenient stopover. There was a fridge, microwave and a one-plate gas burner in the event of loadshedding.
Relax after a day's travel. Just sorry about the early load shedding.
Well set up for load shedding, very friendly and helpful.
Very nice hostess even though we didn't meet her. Beautifully furnished unit. Nice soft pillows on bed which was a big plus for me. Only downside was that the place is not on Cradock Street and this was quite a frustration but was dealt with quickly by the hostess and we really appreciated it. If she wants to sell, call me first. Absolutely in love with the place.
Parking offers limited maneuvering space.
We slept over one night and drove early.
The two cottages, Karoo and Stonewall, share a wall which is fine, problem is that noise travels through it quite badly. We overnighted there both travelling to the coast and back again. The first night Stonewall cottage wasn't bad as we had relatively quiet neighbours, but the return trip was quite bad as neighbours were quite noisy and each noise was heard more pronouncedly in Karoo cottage. Even restroom noises, which was quite bad. We didn't sleep much due to bad noise travelling through walls it seemed. This saddened me as it was otherwise such a nice place, almost perfect.
Parking a bit tight for larger vehicles.
Located in Graafr-Reinet in a quiet part of the city. Really cute cottage with everything needed. There have even been self-made cookies to buy. It's close to the beautiful Camdeboo national park and Graaf Reinet is really nice as well.
Google Maps brings you to the right street where the place should be, but the place is at the back of the street, at the gate also had trouble getting in, everything was messed up. Nice stay, thank you, everything was clean and tidy, thank you.
Aircon would have been appreciated in the heat. No torches were provided despite scheduled loadshedding up to 3 times a day.
The place was tidy and Mariëtte was very friendly and helpful. However, the place is offered as a self-catering unit - but there is no space or facilities to prepare food. Nor a table and chairs where one can sit and eat. Perhaps it should be offered as a 'sleep over' unit. If one wants to stay for longer than one night, it will be a problem.
Parking is difficult with a large vehicle.
Just what I needed for overnight stay. Thank you. Didn't meet the host.
It is a very cute place and close to everything. Very good overnight destination.
Totally felt like we were at home and we loved the place from day 1. Hope I'll be able to book it for a week next time.
Arrangements with keys were well arranged. We were able to get there on time. We didn't disturb anyone by arriving late.
Will book again at Karoo Vine.
This is really a home-feel place, really cosy. The only problem was that the Karoo cottage and Stonewall cottage must be better soundproofed you can really hear next door and a snoring neighbour kept us out of sleep. Using the bathroom is also noisy.
Will definitely stay there again and would recommend to anyone for an overnight stay.
We had trouble getting hold of people every time. The accommodation itself was great but as I say, service was not your best.
The place was comfortable and with a peaceful atmosphere.
Neat and clean with good service.
It was pleasant and neat.
No double bed in the unit we got, although the photos show a double bed. The single beds were not so nice, but the rest of the place was good. Had a safe place to park for the evening. Place was neat and clean.
Nice town, nice place.
There is nothing wrong with the guesthouse. There was only sporadic noise from the buildings across the street in the early evening.
Rooms are not very soundproof.
Short a shower door or curtain and mat. Parking space is ample for larger vehicles. Otherwise, you get what you pay for.
Ideal place for an overnight stay. Has everything you need and is clean and tidy. Will stay with you again.
Lady at reception was very distant and disorganised.
No space or parking for a van, only trailer parked inside.
For the purpose of sleeping over we had a nice stay. The beds are really of poor quality and my night's rest was not pleasant. Also the fact that it was 2 single beds was disappointing for me and my wife. We couldn't get the TV to work either, only U-tube. The parking was really a bit difficult, but after a few times forwards and backwards we finally got under the canopy. Larger vehicles have difficulty parking. Furthermore, the place was neat. There were definitely rats or mice on the roof during the night which was disturbing. Maybe they should just look into it. Otherwise everything was fine.
We had it bad with 38 degrees at 20h00 and power cuts (which is a given) but there is no back door or other door or window that you can open for some fresh air or draft, you feel like you are suffocating.
Guests should be advised that if there are power outages, there is also no water. I think it is necessary to make guests aware of it so that one can plan accordingly.
My wife and I were looking forward to a nice three day visit in Graaff-Reinet. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. The Cottage was clean and beautiful and parking is safe, but, the Cottage is on a busy street (05h00-18h00 car noise). People often walk past accommodation. The owner has a new DSTV system and between 18h00 and 07h00 you cannot watch TV because the internet is very slow. On the third day, we tried to call the owner to inform that we were leaving a day earlier, but got no answer until now. Would not recommend the Cottage if one is looking for tranquility. TV in master bedroom did not work. 2/5.
Clean, tidy and safe. Had a great stay and would recommend the accommodation to anyone.
Our group of 4 friends stayed in the Karoo and Stonewall Cottages, which, while separate, are adjacent to one another allowing for a shared space experience. The cottages were very clean and tastefully decorated while maintaining a sense of the rich historical character that Graaff-Reinet is known for. Our host was very helpful with instructions for check-in and any other queries we had. We would definitely stay here again.
Nice place to stop over. Comfortable with all amenities required.
Neat, clean and safe!
Would definitely recommend Karoo Vine Cottages.
Surprisingly beautiful house, perfectly located!
It is a stylish and neat unit. It is safe, comfortable and well equipped. I would recommend it to anyone!
Very spacious and comfortable overnight accommodation.
Place is very neat and safe. The owners are very hospitable and you can press their button if you need anything.
Unit beautiful and well equipped. Will definitely stay there again.
Will definitely stay here again. And recommended to others. Cars safely behind the gate. Cute place. We just had a good time with our neighbors in the other guest accommodation. It's all about the Karoo - here you immediately feel at home.
Accommodation was comfortable and clean.
Our overnight stop on the way to the Garden Route. Everything you need, spotlessly clean, great electric atmosphere. Linens from the top shelves. Will definitely stay there again.
Good overnight stay and friendly hostess.
Could definitely stay longer to see all the sights.
Cottage is spacious, with a lovely patio to have a sundowner. Had a wonderful stay.
What a beautiful unit. Everything you need is there. Truly value for money. Safe parking and very friendly service from Mariette. This accommodation is definitely highly recommended and I will not sleep anywhere else but at Karoo Vine Cottages again.
When the road has made you tired, this is the ideal place to charge batteries before you drive on.
There was no one to receive the outstanding amount of the accommodation, which I owe.
Very comfortable, clean and safe. Everything one requires.
Very clean and comfortable.
Mariette gave us all the necessary information via Whatsapp for our entry and stay.
The old building is well restored with modern decor.
Clean, friendly, perfect.
Just right for one nap.
Great accommodation, value for money.
Karoo Vine Cottage is definitely value for money. I am so satisfied. There are no words to describe the place. So beautiful and safe. As he describes, on LekkeSlaap only 100 times better. If I ever go to the Cape again there is only one place to stop and that is Karoo Vine Cottages.
Unit was tastefully furnished and had a warm and welcoming feel. It was exceptionally clean. Loved the touch of small packets of homemade biscuits that were in a basket in the room that one could buy. Parking was also safe and secure.
All you need for an overnight stay. Cozy, lovely decor and lots of personal touch. Quick Access. Will definitely stay there again.
Very safe feeling with palisade fence for car's safety and protection.
Consider back-up water system because after a long journey you want to take a hot shower.
Als was well and good. Just one small problem. The parking was not built for the new vehicles of today. Couldn't park with my Ranger bakkie. It's too small for 2 vehicles. The guy who is 1st will always be able to park under the canopy. The next guy doesn't have enough room. Maybe with a small vehicle.
The accommodation was great and perfectly located. Clean and well equipped kitchen as well. Perfect.
The stay was great, in a peaceful and safe environment. We will definitely stay here again.
Graaff-Reinet has a lot to offer. Clean town. Karoo is good for the mind, soul and heart. Hospitable people.
I would only suggest to the owners that they change the heated blanket or put on a thicker mattress protector as the heated blanket's wires are felt while sleeping otherwise a lovely stay all way round.
I would recommend it anytime. Mariette made sure everything was arranged and right.
Beautiful and well furnished unit. Ideal for the traveler. Home away from home!
We were very satisfied.
See stars.
The place is tastefully decorated, with only the best quality hand washing soap, toaster etc.
Clean and tidy nice and quiet.
It met all our needs.
Stopped over en route to Cape Town. It has everything you need.
We stayed in the Karoo Cottage. Everything was quite acceptable, space, facilities, etc. but I would like to suggest upgrading the mattress. The mattress is uncomfortably hard. The reason for this is that the mattress in question has very little sponge on top of the innerspring system. A +-4 to 5cm sponge mattress stopper would be a good solution, without necessarily replacing the mattress.
Unfortunately there was no water on Friday night and no hot water on Saturday morning. There was no load shedding at that time.
The address on the reservation does not exist. After 13 hours of driving, I drove up and down the street to find the guest house. The number of the street does not exist. Asked number 121 and according to him no such number exists in the street. Also asked a security company and they confirmed that there is no such number. Finally able to identify the guest house in the photo and then we had to drive around the block in another street to approach the place from behind. One is not in the mood for such a struggle. I also called the website, but no one even answered the phone.
