BETWEEN CALITZDORP AND OUDTSHOORN ACCOMMODATION
The Karoowater Guest Farm previously known as UHURU GUEST FARM is close enough to be regarded as Oudtshoorn accommodation, nestled between Oudtshoorn and Calitzdorp next to the scenic Gamkaberg Nature Reserve.
As one approach on the solitary karoo road 44 kilometres outside Oudtshoorn and just 21 kilometres from Calitzdorp you are drawn to the oasis like appearance of the Karoowater Guest Farm. Looks may be deceiving but not in this case! As you enter you are greeted with energetic sounds from the Parrots and monkeys. The vast little karoo countryside has a tranquillity of its own and the green caravan park and camping site with its free roaming springbuck and abundance of trees perfectly complements the unique fynbos semi-desert area of the little karoo. This along with the guest farm activities such as play & animal park, waterslide and cold swimming pool is just the perfect spot to keep your family amused as long as you need, may it be overnight-, weekend- or holiday accommodation.
Karoowater Guest Farm is equally popular as a WINTER DESTINATION. Its natural hot spring baths with rejuvenating mineral water is waiting to gently wash away and remove all stress that work and city life may cause – read more at our guest farm activities page. If you’re thinking healthy restoring roman bathing, mouth-watering nutritious karoo meals, family fun in the big pool with waterslide and baby pool, play area surrounded by colourful parrots and curious monkeys, lovely serene sunset walks and real South African barbeques with free roaming antelope then you are at the right place.
