We stayed here about 10 years ago when there were some very interesting pieces of art around! Now it’s had a revamp with still wonderful art around but it has a much more elegant feel . We love the new look ….the whole place has such charm. We had a lovely room with a large balcony overlooking the street and the countryside beyond. Perfect for people watching ! Yet very quiet at night. It was so nice to sit on the veranda with a glass of wine before dinner in the evenings. The food in the restaurant was excellent…the chef comes out to greet you which is very nice. The staff are welcoming and friendly. We shall definitely return.

Call in this place a few years ago. At this time, it was struggling and looking very tired. However, it has had a very sympathetic makeover, it's retained the old charm of bygon days with furnishings and decor to match. We got our drinks in the bar then headed to the very pleasant garden to enjoy our drinks. Meals are not available through the week, only weekends. There is the option of cakes, scones and pastries tea and coffee.

Guys, if you think you have seen the best hotels out there, think again...Authentic as can come, service is of the best quality, Staff is on the ball. Then go and experience the town itself, you will be blown away. Thank you to the team at Karoo Art Hotel for making my client and myself feel at home.

Derek, the chef at Karoo Arts, catered to our every need. We were a party of 9 and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. We felt so welcome. Glen, in the bar made sure we were never thirsty! Every member of staff remember our names and rooms making the entire weekend a wonderful experience.

A hotel full of character. Lovely secluded garden and pool. Being so different from a chain was refreshing (wonderful staff) but some might find it somewhat quirky
