I've been to a couple of backpackers in South Africa and I didnt expect that a backpackers could be this beautifully designed. It looked like I walked in to a television show about travelling! The price was great for what you get. From the backpackers you can go to the Cango Caves and to the Ostrich farms. If you are... More

Cosy and quiet place (only a few rooms) with secured parking and shared kitchen, breakfast can be ordered for a reasonable price. Very nice and helpful owner - we arrived late and she came back from town just for us and made some calls to nearby restaurants to find out where to get something to eat. Nicely decorated ensuite room.... More

Stayed at Karoo Soul for 5 night this Christmas. Enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and lovely swimming pool, Staff were very helpful and friendly. Used the braai area twice, and spent hours chilling in the hammocks. Rooms were really clean, with everything you could need, and really stylish without being over-the-top. All in all an awesome place, and a great base... More

Stayed in the stone cottage, bit with small patio. Used the kitchen in the mainhouse though. Nice pool area with a bbq and good views over Oudtshorn. Can't recommend going to an ostrich farm, it is too commercialized. Instead drive up to Swartberg pass and back to town via Arthur's Pass. You will see plenty of ostriches along the road... More

Our visit to this lovely backpackers' old fashioned home was very special. We had great conversations with the owner, and artist of this lodge. The location is very practical and within walking reach of any stores you need and any restaurants you would like to visit. Oudtshoorn is a colorful place to visit and the Karoo region is amazing!
