Karoo Cottage

 
 

Description

Karoo Cottage is a delightful air-conditioned little cottage situated under a giant pine tree in the heart of the village of Loxton. It is fully-equipped for self-catering. The cottage comprises one large living-cum-bedroom with one double bed and one single bed, fitted with good quality linen and bedding.

The main room is wall to wall carpeted and includes a small dining table and chairs, comfy armchairs, and other furnishings. Television is provided, with standard SABC channels. The en-suite bathroom has a shower, basin and toilet. The adjoining kitchen has a full size fridge/freezer, a small microwave oven, and a two-plate gas cooker,no oven, plus a range of cutlery, crockery, and cooking utensils. The air-conditioner unit serves to both cool and heat the cottage, and in winter electric blankets are fitted.

Karoo Cottage has its own access and is totally private. The lockable car gate leads into a shade net-covered carport and there's a private braai area behind the cottage also ideal for stargazing. Wood and braai packs are available by prior arrangement.

Breakfast is an optional extra - we can put ingredients into the cottage for you either for a light breakfast or self-cook - by prior arrangement. The pretty village of Loxton is small and has few facilities so the owners request that you arrange meals in advance. If you'll be self-catering, it's advisable to bring all your supplies with you from a larger centre.

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 two hours of star gazing.

There are also lovely walks around the tiny, pretty village with its old vernacular architecture, you can climb our koppies, rocky hills, for never-ending views across the plains, and in spring our streets are a fairytale picture of white pear blossoms.

Absolutely recommended

What a pleasure to arrive after a long drive and find an oasis waiting for you-crisp linen with an electric blanket to keep you warm on a cold night,fresh towels to enjoy after a warm shower and so forth. We will absolutely recommend it to anybody that wants some peace and quiet after the city noise.
Very nice

Very neat and tidy place to stay. Hospitality was great. The town was quiet and peaceful. Nowhere in the RSA will you find clearer skies and brighter stars.
Pleasant surprise!

We chose Loxton to overnight at on the way back to Gauteng after a visit to SALT in Sutherland on 3 January 2011. Not expecting too much we were surprised to find a large clean unit with a place for everything and everything in its place. Stephen and Brent Moseley knows the industry and have also prepared a delicious bobotie. Highly recommended. Phillip Nel
What a lovely experience!
Nina Olivier, South Africa
31 May 2010
Very clean, small yet comfortable and even though the first snow on the Swartberge, the cottage had air conditioning which made it nice and cosy. Steve was a wonderful host and arranged for us to watch the Super14 Final at the Blue Cafe in Loxton - just a block away from the Karoo Cottage. Breakfast Sunday morning ended in a feast with a full spread from yoghurt, cereal, down to bacon, wors and eggs - brilliant! Have already decided to visit again next year with the annual Jakkalsda ... more
