Spoil Yourself with Our Self-Catering Accommodation Graaff-Reinet
If you have a love for exploring all the unspoiled beauty South Africa has to offer, then the wild Karoo is a must-see. Planning a trip to this region, though, is not complete without a visit to the Eastern Cape Town of Graaff-Reinet, known for its rich history and fascinating tourist sites. Here at KarooRus, we offer guests precisely this opportunity and allow them to step into this magical extract of 19th-century charm while staying with our self-catering accommodation.
Why the Location is a Little Different
If you have seen one historical town in South Africa, you have seen them all, right? Well, not quite. Graaff-Reinet is not your average touristy hotspot that cashes in on that feeling of escaping to simpler times. The town itself really does have deep history to it, as it is the fourth oldest town in the country (and the oldest in the Eastern Cape).
Known locally as “the gem of the Karoo”, Graaff-Reinet has 200 National Monuments and an entire street that has been restored to its original historical personality. The lush, green Camdeboo National Park encircles Graaff-Reinet and offers guests a unique experience of authentic Karoo fauna and flora. Here, birdwatchers will be treated to sightings of up to 249 bird species, and anyone with a love for nature will enjoy the 43 varied mammal species and 336 plant species. The park also features the Nqweba Dam and the Valley of Desolation.
Those living in self-catering accommodation in Graaff-Reinet have the unique opportunity to visit multiple profound natural and historical sites without needing to travel too far. One bonus is that the local cuisine is said to be some of the best the country has to offer too.
