Affordable Self-Catering Accommodation in Graaff-Reinet – The Heart of the Karoo
Graaff-Reinet is often referred to the heart of the “Great Karoo,” and quite aptly so. Flanked by the Camdeboo National Park in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, Graaff-Reinet continues to draw thousands of visitors from all walks of life throughout the year. One of the oldest towns in South Africa, its history dates back to 1786, and many of its original buildings have been preserved and declared national monuments.
The picturesque Sneeuberg mountain range keeps a watchful eye over this rural Eastern Cape town, which nestles in the horseshoe bend of the Sundays River. Graaff-Reinet also boasts more buildings that have been proclaimed national monuments than other other town in the country. It is just one of the many reasons why you will want to pack your bags and book self-catering accommodation in this world-famous Karoo town.
