The Karoo Art hotel goes beyond playing the role of gallery for an eclectic stable of local and regional artists. It is also a celebration of all the many other arts associated with a classic country hotel, the art of the bakery, the art of the kitchen, the art of the bar, the art of coffee, the art of elegant simplicity, the art of the long stay. All 15 rooms are individual in character and are a great reflection of the owner and decorator Sue Melvill’s vision for what a classic Karoo bedroom should be; ‘to me, the karoo is all about stillness, honesty, and serenity. And that’s what I want in our bedrooms. Along with beautiful fabrics, finishes, and unexpected details, lavender sachets, real coffee, proper teapots, and sherry out of a vintage crystal glass before bedtime.
There are 3 different room categories: Klein Karoo Rooms, Groot Karoo Rooms, and the spacious Garden Suite. Whenever you find a particular weekend or other period is blocked, this doesn’t necessarily mean that no accommodation is available. Accommodation might still be available through specific enquiries at the hotel. Please send us an email with your specific enquiries in such instances.
