The Karoo Soul Lodge is a great place if you like to travel with a limited budget and a good level of confort. The rooms are confortable, the sanitaries (3) were clean and the kitchen allow you to prepare some foods. The communication with Ilse was very friendly. We recommend this place.

A beautiful property with the basic amenities which you expect. You are able to buy your own food or meat and use the kitchen or the braai spots near the pool and in front of the hotel for your own use. The owners were nice and very accommodative to requests

Karoo Soul was a lovely place to stay for our one night in Port Elizabeth. Check-in was very easy and the rooms were clean and comfortable. We were able to walk to a trail that runs along the beach and there's a very fun restaurant (Something Good Roadhouse) about 20 minutes walk away. Breakfast the next morning was a delicious full English breakfast and check-out was easy. Thanks for a great stay!

Three of us shared a room after cycling from Wilderness to Oudtshoorn. The room was clean and comfortable and the shared facilities were great. It has amazing views and plenty of areas to relax and rejuvenate, including a large swimming pool.

Ilze was the perfect host - helping us with laundry and recommending a food restaurant and taxi service.

It is a great back packers and very good value for money.

Karoo Soul has a very apt name, with a wonderful relaxed atmosphere, spacious sunny garden and the kindest most helpful staff. It's within easy walking distance of the town centre but in a quiet street with a commanding position overlooking the surrounding scenery. I would definitely love to come back here for longer one day.

We only spent one night - the service was great (and the staff were friendly) and Ilze went out of her way to make our stay even better stay. We used the braai area and there were plenty of different games to keep us and my little one occupied. We were able to use the communal kitchen which helped greatly as we were 6 people. We would highly recommend Karoo Soul.

This place is magical to say the least. For three nights I was left in awe by its peaceful environment, completely recharging my 'batteries', & mind. The personnel, guests I encountered throughout this 'blitz visit' all seemed to share a profound connection with nature, something deeper. It baffles me that few people know about Karoo Soul - a hidden gem that will get spot sooner than later. I recommend you to book a visit, & discover its energy yourself.

This accommodation is situated towards the end of Adderley Road, so is in a quiet and peaceful part of town. The huge grounds are filled with many lovely corners where one can relax and soak up the sun. A lovely grand house with many enormous rooms will offer all the comforts you expect away from home. We really enjoyed our stay and the hosts were very friendly and helpful.
