51 guests' feedbackUnforgettable Karoo visit. Was a new experience for us. The silence creeps deep into your heart as the hostess and host do. The warm welcome and warm hearts dominate the Karoo cold. The provision for every possible event (even an emergency medicine box) makes the visit so much more comfortable and takes away a lot of stress and uncertainty about the remote farm. The small gestures were of great value. An outside light if you're out late at night. Wood for a fire. So much Karoo care.
Karoo silence was truly food for the soul. The place perfectly captures the absolute beauty of the Karoo. Thanks to the host and hostess, we thoroughly enjoyed our short stay.
Very nice. Restful. Road is good there. Pool is a winner.
The location and its surroundings are very calm and beautiful - just a perfect place for nature lovers and to relax. The house is well-equipped and beautifully furnished with stunning views out of all windows. The pool is perfect for a quick cool off in the heat. The hosts are the best one could wish for. They supplied us with everything we needed and even more. We went for a lovely hike within the farm which provided us with stunning views and a lot of animals to discover. We would definitely recommend this place since we had the best time - Thank you very much!
Was a beautiful and amazing stay and a serene place for a private getaway. So tranquil too. Really enjoyed my stay.
It was nice. It was Karoo silence in style. Friendly hostess and most beautiful house.
It was delicious and beautiful.
Have a great switch off weekend!
The place has everything and more to ensure your visit is comfortable. Tania is a fantastic hostess and all the extras are a bonus. She really thinks of everything. We went for a walk on one of the most beautiful routes. My heart is full and my soul rested.
Fantastic. Friendly, helpful, clean, quiet and well equipped. Simply delicious.
We were regularly kept up to date on matters, when we arrived we were warmly welcomed by Tania. The lovely dogs were a bonus. Silence and Tranquility.
The chalet was equipped with absolutely everything one would need. Tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. The hostess kept in contact with us, guiding our route and giving us lots of tips.
Extremely well received by Tania. Everything was great.
Very good value for money, nice house with the most beautiful views and very friendly people!
There is a silence and a beauty in the Karoo that you just can't find anywhere else, that feeds the soul and that you can experience. The cottage was very neatly furnished and the owners went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and our visit was unforgettable. There is a 40km dirt road to the house, but the road was very beautiful and we could drive it with ease in our client Picanto. One night is just too short to spend here. Karoo Stilte is a piece of jewel and now a permanent inn on the way to and from the Cape.
This dinkiest of cottages on the Karoo vlaktes bordering the Karoo National Park certainly lives up to its name - providing quietness and peace in spades. While compact, the cottage has everything - and more - that you need for a very pleasant self-catering stay. Tania and Karel are next-level hosts and are on hand to assist with whatever you need. And if you're a 4x4 nut like me, ask your hosts to route you around their varied and beautiful farm, or just walk to your heart's content.
Lovely peaceful place, loved the pool. Friendly hosts.
Tania informed us about the road from early morning, and also regularly followed up on where we were going. The unit was spotless and equipped with everything one could possibly need. The scenery is breathtaking and the silence deafening. It's definitely worth the detour from the N1 and I can definitely recommend Karoo Stilte.
Very comfortable. Thanks to Tania for all her kindness and help!
We had such a nice stay, Karel and Tania helped us a lot and made us feel very welcome! We will definitely stay there again.
Lovely drive, peaceful and comfortable.
Karoo Silence is a wonderful place to stay. The farm environment, walking paths and silence are like food for your soul! The house is furnished with absolutely everything. If only the best. Tania and Carel are the most helpful and best people ever! And everything done to make our stay special. From helping with a flat tire to offering to pick us up 170 km away. Thank you very much for a wonderful few days with you!
Unbelievable location, quality of finish in the cottage is first class, view from the porch very nice. The silence is also special, could easily spend another night!
The cottage is very well furnished and very comfortable, meeting all needs. A lot of attention paid to specific needs, especially in the kitchen such as basic necessities, foil, paper towel, barbecue salt etc. Wipe clean and fresh. Hostess maintains a high standard. Would recommend anytime to anyone looking to get away from hustle and bustle. Farm is located next to the Karoo National Park, good dirt road and easily accessible.
The cottage on the farm is so much more than just overnight accommodation. Stylish silence to take in the beautiful surroundings, stars and tranquility. We will go again.
A nature lover's paradise! Tania and Karel are the perfect hosts. We were welcomed with smiles, sent a nice detailed Whatsapp with directions and important info the night before and arrived at this gorgeous, and well equipped home. They literally thought of everything, if you need a mosquito net, doom, braai spice, candles, whatever, it was in the chalet! We made some lovely family memories on this farm - we swam in a steel dam with carp (fish) swimming underneath us. Karel even fed the fish for our son (13 months) to be able to see them close up. Tania offered to bring us sunblock, hats and towels. We spent our afternoon on the very cool and relaxed stoep, drinking wine and watching our fire. At night, we were surrounded with gorgeous stars. We were actually sad to leave the next morning. We will definitely stop over here again. Take into consideration: it is a farm on a gravel road about 42 km's off the N1 - if you don't want to stay in the busy town and want to experience nature, this is perfect for you. If you are easily irritated by driving on a gravel road and are also easily paranoid when staying in the middle of nowhere, this is not for you. We loved this experience and will return!
Hospitality is amazing. Hostess knew I wanted to venture down a bad dirt road alone and kept in touch until she knew I was safe on the tarmac again.
One of the best experiences in our years of touring.
Karoo silence was everything and more. Delicious barbecue and patio and breathtaking views.
It was a wonderful experience and we were very lucky to experience the Karoosterre.
Photos looked very nice but we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. Balance between inside and outside is spot on for two people.
Here is a view in every direction. Silence that brings tranquility and a starry sky that takes your breath away. Make sure you stay longer than just one night!
Very pleasant people. Place is very well equipped.
Amazing stay and one of the best bookings we have ever made on the website. Thank you very much
It was an unforgettable weekend where natural beauty surrounds you. Accommodation was spotless and we were very spoiled. Would definitely recommend.
Very friendly owners and warm welcome. Beautiful accommodation. Perfect for an overnight stay or perhaps a few days of Karoo silence and tranquility.
Karoo Silence is the most beautiful place that has been transformed with love and care into a comfortable, stylish resting place for the soul. There really is everything you could need. And then there are still nice surprises in the fridge too. Nice big windows give you everywhere a view of the beautiful open Karooveld. Furthermore, you can sit on the covered patio and read, barbecue or just stare into the distance with your thoughts. Furthermore, you can walk in the wide plains or walk up the mountain, see the wildlife and just appreciate the silence. Karel and Tania are the most wonderful host and hostess and really go out of their way to make it a wonderful experience.
Cottage excellently equipped and wonderfully clean and tidy.
The friendly reception and environmental information provided by Tania gave the stay that little something extra. The location, privacy and well-equipped cottage are ideal for the overnight visitor to fully relax.
The friendly owners went out of their way to meet all our needs. The house is very neat and clean and is equipped with only the best. It was delicious and we will definitely visit again.
We were very friendly received by hosts Tania and Karel. Karoo Stilte is a new clean, neat and tidy cottage with the most beautiful views all around. The freshness of the cottage inside is what catches your nose first. We had the opportunity to explore the farm by means of 4x4 and do some game viewing. The Karoo silence and the star gazing at night is awesome. We enjoyed Karoo Stilte so much that we actually stayed an extra night. Tania and Karen spoilt us with braai wood and gave us ideas to explore the Karoo. The views of the mountains around the cottage is breathtaking. The spoils of spanspek, watermelon and olives were such a treat. Thank you again for everything. This is seriously the best place we have ever experienced in Beaufort West. What a way to end off 2020 and start 2021 with Karoo Stilte embodied in our hearts and mind. Tania and Karel you will definitely see us again.
I would recommend the place to any couple. Tania has thought of everything and the place is a diamond in the Karoo. The view over the farm and stars in the evening is breathtaking and you really experience the Karoo silence there. The dirt road is pretty smooth and can be driven with any vehicle. Thank you very much for a nice overnight stay, will stay longer next time!
Karel and Tania you were two lovely people who made us feel very much at home. Thanks for biscuits and cereal in the morning. Place was clean and tidy. There was already firewood for a nice barbecue. Had the most beautiful view. Recommend the place anytime.
Very clean and tidy, everything we needed was there. Excellent overnight spot that we can definitely recommend.
This is not suitable for overnight facility. 52 km round trip to N1 is a bit far especially after such a long drive.
Need to experience more than just an overnight stay.
Tania and her husband made us feel at home from the time we booked. A beautiful couple with such an interesting life story and future plans in this hidden gem. What an awesome destination majestic sky and mountain views and we were privileged to have sight of Jupiter and Saturn - the Bethlehem star of 2020. The cottage is beautifully appointed and you have every utensil you could need for a twilight escape in the Karoo. Majestic braai and the braaibroodjies and meat pack were to die for. Will definitely return many many times again on our commute to Cape Town from Johannesburg.
Late afternoon swimming in the cement pond was breathtaking.
I will definitely want to place myself under the most beautiful painting of stars again, as it is only possible at Karoo Silence!
Very friendly owners and incredibly beautiful house and view! The silence is just what one needs! Swimming in the pond was refreshing.
