Alojamientos vacacionales en Lootsberg Pass

place felt like i was at home, very peaceful and the house had everything and more than was needed

To see the workings of a multi-generational family farm, stay in a 170 year old house with beautiful high-quality furniture and fittings, and engage with a kind and gentle-natured farmer and his wife…was wonderful. A gentle desert rain arrived as we got there and set the tone for one of the most restful holidays we have ever had. The farmer’s 2 dogs popped in every now and again and made themselves part of the family. Richard and Anika were accommodating and quick to sort out anything we asked for. The house was spotlessly clean and filled with history from the 1800s. There was a sense of warmth with the people living / working on the farm as well. The drive to Nieu Bethesda was around 15min going up a gorgeous gentle pass which presented something new every time we travelled. The highlight of the stay was walking up the hill behind the house and sitting on the bench overlooking the farm, valley, and mountains at sunset. Thank you Richard and Anika (our kids say hi).

Albie was quick to respond to give directions. Emile was very helpful with the check-in and recommendations with restaurants. My first visit since 2015 and pleasantly surprised with the neatness of the town. We will stay over again in future.

We had a lovely, tranquil stay at Meerkat. The highlight was the private courtyard with beautiful shade and view of the nearby mountain. The bed was super comfortable and the unit had everything you need. It’s in a beautiful part of town, close to a pedestrian bridge that takes you over to all the restaurants and Owl House. I’d recommend this stay to everyone 👏

A beautiful stone cottage with stunning views of the mountains and farm. We had a lovely stay and our dog loved running around on the farm. The cottage was fenced which was perfect to keep our dog safe. We will be back for sure.

It's difficult to overstate how incredible this place is. The Rest Farm is an incredible oasis in the Karoo, and Shepherd's Cottage is a beautiful old farmhouse, comfortable, private, and peaceful with all the amenities - it would be easy to stay here a week or even a month. The sunsets, the walks, the birds, the river nearby. Paula and Ian's hospitality was second to none - their house is right nearby and they provided milk and bread from their farm, tea, and wonderful conversation. And a dip in the water reservoir behind their house. This place is an absolute treasure and we're hoping to come back as soon as we can.

There were only 3 of us but the cottage caters for 6. The area is stunning, it had snowed and Hester kept me informed as to the state of the roads due to the snow. The cottage was cosy, had a wood fire and electric blankets so perfect.

The Owls nest is located on the outskirts of the little town, has lovely surroundings. We have stayed at the location more than once & it’s always neat & tidy. The town has free roaming horses & sometimes goats which give it a lovely farm feel. The town is beautifully kept & neat, the locals have a lot of pride in their town.
