    It is easy to give a good review when things go perfectly, but it is when things don't go smoothly and the property owner makes an exceptional effort to put things right, that reviews really matter. I turned up to my booking to find the property...

Die Dorpshuis was built in the late 1800's as a prestige residence for an unknown person. Since then it was extended and became the residence and surgery for the dorp's doctors and eventually the home to a local school master. There are 5 rooms in the main building and 3 brand new rooms approximately 300m away.
We speak French, German, Afrikaans and we are eager to welcome you in the beautiful little Karoo
