Like me, if you sometimes find the beaches too crowded for your liking, it’s probably time to change tactic and a venture into the Karoo where there is always a new experience to be found on its dirt roads, small towns and farms.
If you end up in the Oudtshoorn area – which I think you should visit; check in at the Karoo Sun Guesthouse. I can confidently say that very few places in the region can match them in terms of friendly, excellent service, facilities and affordability.
Located along the Route 62 in Oudtshoorn, Karoo Sun Guesthouse is only 450 km from Cape Town and 60 km from George. It offers stylish, modern and clean guest house accommodation.
You can look forward to being welcomed by the owners, Reynhardt and Hermien Brittnell, who will make your stay with them something to remember.
The establishment has six stylish rooms on offer, which are pleasantly decorated and well-furnished in a modern contemporary style with either double, king or twin-sized beds, and are fitted with a flat screen TV (with DSTV), desk and tea-and-coffee-making facilities.
Each room is air-conditioned and has an en-suite bathroom. Free Wi-Fi is also available for all rooms.
Karoo Sun is also situated within walking distance of restaurants, hospitals and shops.
This makes Karoo Sun the ideal location from where you can undertake your day trips to the nearby tourist attractions.
From the breath-taking scenery of the Swartberg Pass and Meiringspoort to the historic architecture of the Ostrich Palaces, Oudtshoorn has a lot to offer guests. There is the Cango Caves, meerkat experiences, crocodile cage diving, ostrich rides, tandem-skydiving and wine tasting.
As a tip, it is best to stay for at least two nights in order to really experience everything that Oudtshoorn has to offer.
If you’re looking for an adventurous escape from the city, either as a couple or with a group of friends, then best head to Karoo Sun Guesthouse. To book your stay, call 082 824 8569 or email info@karoosun.co.za or visit www.karoosun.co.za.
