Great Karoo, South Africa hotel rooms at the Independent

"Wish we could’ve stayed longer! A unique experience staying in a converted shepherds hut, now the honeymoon suite- beautifully converted with plunge pool & the most stunning 360 degree views- also from the shower! So peaceful & tranquil,The owners of Le Petit Karoo really went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. Beautiful dinner. Amazing value for money & would 100% recommend. Thanks Tracy & Karen, hope to see you again."

"Loved it! Beautiful resort, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Interesting safari experience with plenty of time for photos and questions. It is a conservation reserve but felt like a safari. Saw 4 of the big 5 plus hippos and cheetahs"

"All over very need and beautifull. Staff very friendly"

"Comfortable and had all one needed for a night on the highway. Comfortable - clean and central with a shared kitchen area and pool."

"Spotless room and facilities. Beautiful restaurants. Highly recommended"

"We had a memorable honeymoon stay at Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve. The property is beautifully maintained, blending comfort with the rugged charm of the Cederberg landscape. Cleanliness: The rooms were spotless, with thoughtful touches that made us feel at home. Pool & Spa: The pool was well-kept and inviting, though on the smaller side. It was perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring, and the spa was relaxing and professional—an ideal way to unwind. Staff & Service: The staff were warm, attentive, and went out of their way to make our stay special. Facilities: Everything felt well cared for, from the lodge amenities to the outdoor areas. Surroundings: The reserve itself is breathtaking—quiet, scenic, and full of unique rock formations. It’s a great base for stargazing, hikes, and soaking in the natural beauty. Highlights: Stargazing under the clear night sky was unforgettable. The guided nature walks gave us a deeper appreciation of the local wildlife and history. Dining options were varied and delicious, fresh with a nice balance of local flavors. Travel notes: Kagga Kamma is located about three hours’ drive from Cape Town, so plan ahead for the journey. The nearest town is roughly an hour and a half away, making the reserve very secluded. This adds to the tranquility, but it’s worth preparing for the remoteness."
