Cypress Cottage

Visit our beautiful and luxurious property in Graaff-Reinet with all that this little town has to offer. This is a little step back in time but with all the modern-day comforts. These charming cottages date back to the 1800's and combine authentic Karoo style and ambience with every modern comfort. Beautiful restored and furnished with antiques and modern, they face each other across the shady quiet of one of the most picturesque streets of the town. Every room has its own bathroom en-suite with a shower and some with a shower and bath. All rooms are of very high quality with air-conditioners, DStv, free Wi-Fi, beautiful beds, linen, towels, and bathroom and shower amenities. Every guest room features beautiful breathtaking views. We offer a full Karoo English-style breakfast with fresh fruits, yogurt, cereals, eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, coffee, tea, and juices. We make our own preserves and little extras along the way. Breakfasts vary from day to day. We are right next to the nature reserve, nestled in the shadow of Spandau's Kop. An easy walk takes you right into the best of the Karoo nature. The town center is an easy 10 minute walk, where we can make dinner reservations at any one of our variety of good restaurants. As the Gem of the Karoo, the town warrants a two-night stopover. Our friendly staff looks forward to welcoming you to the property.
