Deep in the Karoo sits a beautifully restored historic home turned boutique guesthouse. Karoo Heritage Guesthouse offers a stay filled with charm, culture, and character — the kind of place where every creaking floorboard has a story.

We were welcomed with homemade lemonade and Karoo hospitality. The décor immediately stands out: vintage furniture, antique mirrors, and original woodwork lovingly preserved.
