Rooms, dining room, environment, all is there to make you plunge back a century.
Great stay
Gideon Stoop, South Africa
15 March 2012
We arrived late from Cape Town and Karien welcomed us with great Karoo hospitality. She even phoned us earlier the afternoon to find out if we would like to have supper. Breakfast was great en we would've liked to stay longer.
Excellent

Dinner was fantastic.
Great stopover on the N1
Jacques Fouche, South Africa
09 January 2012
The Vale was one of our stopovers this holiday, January 2012. We stayed in a stone cottage and had a lovely time! The boys really enjoyed the farm animals, swimming in the clean dam and the breakfast was good value-for-money. We will return.

Hajira Sethole, Botswana
03 January 2012
We were very welcome at The Vale Karoo Farm. Our hostess, Carrien, was very helpful as we kept in close contact due to us arriving in the wee hours of the morning. The place is very clean and comfortable! I would recommend it to anyone travelling along the Karoo!
