Detailed description

Karoo Cottage is a single air-conditioned cottage that comprises one large living and bedroom that has an en-suite bathroom (with shower, basin, loo), and separate kitchen. The cottage is fully equipped for self-catering. The main room is wall-to-wall carpeted and has one double bed plus one single bed, a table & four chairs, and other small furnishings – all in keeping with an old Karoo type ambience. 

Features

Loxton is a delightful hamlet situated beneath a canopy of trees in the heart of the Karoo. This is not a destination that speaks of bright lights, but rather of bright stars. Thanks to no light or air pollution, we have awesome night skies and have seen see up to twenty satellites within a few hours of star gazing.

The cottage has 1 double and 1 single bed in the SAME room.
Parking is alongside the cottage behind a lockable gate under a shade-net carport. There is a small stone braai at the rear of the cottage in the garden.

 

The air-conditioner keeps the cottage lovely and cool in summer, or you can leave the old-fashioned mosquito screen door open to enjoy the breeze. In winter, the air-conditioner acts as a heater, keepings the cottage snug, and both beds have electric blankets.

 

As Loxton is somewhat isolated in terms of accessibility to shops, we request that all meals are arranged in advance.
If you prefer to self-cater - we suggest that you bring your food along, as there are only the barest of essentials available in Loxton's two tiny general dealers.

Things to do and see

There are also lovely walks around the tiny, pretty village with its old vernacular architecture. If  you're visiting in spring when the 100-year old pear trees that line the streets are in blossom, you'll be awed by the fairytale picture this creates.

A favourite pastime is to walk up our koppies (rocky hills) for never-ending views across the plains, and in spring our streets are a fairytale picture of white pear blossoms.
