Klaarstroom Hotel

Klaarstroom, which translates to English as ‘clear stream’, is located in the heart of the Karoo. Klaarstroom is a picturesque, peaceful, authentic Victorian, working farm village situated at the foot of the Swartberg Mountains. The village is positioned at the Great Karoo entrance to Meiringspoort, a spectacular gorge through the Swartberg Mountain range which links the Great Karoo and the Little Karoo (Klein Karoo). The old inner village is conveniently and quietly situated behind sheltering koppies, just 500m off the N12. This makes Klaarstroom a convenient stopover en route from the north of the country to the Garden Route and Southern Cape coast. It is also halfway between Cape Town and the malaria-free game-farms and reserves that have the Big Five in the Eastern Cape, offering guests the ideal opportunity to enjoy the traditional charms and big skies of a Karoo stopover on their way to a safari adventure.

Area Info

Klaarstroom serves as a stopover for cyclists, hikers, adventurers and 4×4 enthusiasts from the Cape Town area who wish to get a close and early start before exploring Baviaanskloof (just 90km from Klaarstroom along a good gravel road, and 110km on tar).

Next time you are driving along the road towards Meiringspoort, turn into Klaarstroom and soak up its unique “platteland” (rural) charm.
