About the Reserve
A striking oasis in the semi-desert Karoo, the Manor’s uniquely warm design reflects the local landscape and traditions with a light, modern twist. Upon arrival, your eye is drawn through the glass double doors flanked by beaded African artwork and Karoo antiques to the breathtaking views beyond. The mountain landscape unfolds over a 21-metre infinity pool, descending to a waterhole frequently visited by wildlife.
Combining modern-day comforts with a rustic and welcoming feel, Karoo Lodge is the perfect place to relax and allow the tranquillity of the Karoo to envelop you – on the wide verandah in summer or by the cosy fire in winter. With 9 double rooms of varying sizes, Karoo Lodge caters for individual travellers, couples and families.
