Le Petit Karoo Ranch

The location and view was insane. On top of a very steep hill, you could watch the sun set from our terrace, the tents are close but very private so no one can see your terrace. The bath with the view was a great touch, however water is scarce there and it was drought season I couldn’t bring myself to fill up the whole bath :( The owner Pascale lives on the property and he makes the dinners, on our first night we had ostrich and he cooked the dinner perfectly it was delicious. We loved waking up here with the sound of nature. The tents are very well equipped with heated blanket for the cooler nights, a heater and extra blankets. It felt safe and beautiful surrounded by the stunning hills.

We found the breakfast very basic, you have to pay extra for it, but it’s just a choice of basic cereals, some basic eggs, juice and toast. My husband and I are big foodies and have just travelled through route 62, we had some amazing breakfasts along the way so this one wasn’t up there. The whole place needs a little more TLC, and improvement, like the chairs on the balconies had a broken part, the pool could have been cleaner, it’s just a tiny bit dated and just needs some attention to detail.
