Review of Karoo Lodge
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 10 May 2019
Four of us spent 4 nights at the Karoo Lodge. Close to everything in town, Off the main road away from any noise. There is plenty of off road parking. The pool looked inviting allbeit a little cold when we were there. Air-conditioning in all rooms and the beds very comfortable. Daily cleaning ensured that everything was just right. Sitting out in the garden reading or having sundowners could not have been better. The breakfast was great and Elsabie and George made sure that every morning there was something different to go with the eggs and bacon. Georg's marmalade, which is also available to purchase and take home, is superb. Will return again.

My son and I stopped here for 2 nights in march whilst on a motorcycle tour, the rooms were very good with plenty of space and we managed to get some laundry done whilst we were here. The hosts were very friendly and know how to run the place with a good breakfast and great knowledge of the area. We ate out at 2 different restaurants in the town and the food was superb with plenty of choice, a lovely friendly small town and a good base to visit the area.

Stayed here for one night 8 April 2019 en route to Storms River. Beautiful grounds, huge clean rooms, lovely comfy bed. Evening meal was wonderful, I had the Ostrich steak, my husband had the lamb. Breakfast was plentiful and so much variety. Thoroughly recommend as Prince Albert has so much to offer, lovely quaint little shops and tea shops. Great for a stopover. Very close to the wonderful Swartburg Pass which was incredible.

We stayed one night and it was very nice. The owners are friendly and welcoming with good suggestions for dinner. The rooms are spacious with sitting area, fridge and large bathroom. Great to have the pool for the very hot weather! We enjoyed talking with the owner and his daughter over a very tasty breakfast.

Definitely not 'luxurious' as advertised, just adequate. Clean room. Pool was dirty and is not fenced. There is no security. Anyone can drive or walk onto the property from the main street. Breakfast was good. Would not go back there.

Hi Cruiser

Sometimes a person go through life not noticing the surrounds.

Our Swimming Pool is fed by crystal a clear underground water supply, water quality monitored by an automatic PH regulator. Automatic, time regulated, pool cleaner in operation

Karoo Lodge is a place for adults. We do not accept children as guests and assume that adults know how to care for themselves, therefore we do not find any reason why we should fence the pool.

All of our suites , entry doors and windows, are fitted with burglar bars and Trellidor security. Suites are guarded by electronic monitoring device.

All of the above and in particular the latter; a bit of an over kill in this general safe destination Prince Albert

I liked the owners very much. They were so friendly and professional. The room was very good, spacious and clean. The breakfast was very nice. The swimming pool wasn’t big and not so clean. We recommend this hotel
