Karoo Koelte B&B and Self Catering

Pietie and Anna Vermeulen look forward to welcome you with warm hospitality, in our comfortable renovated en-suite rooms in a quiet Karoo environment with crystal air of the sunny Karoo. Karoo Koelte is an old homestead situated in the original village of Victoria West, between Moonlight Hill and Victoria West Mountain.

Karoo Koelte offers four double en-suite bedrooms with private entrances. One of the four rooms is Karoo Koelte's en-suite for people with disabilities. It features an obstacle free shower room accessible to wheelchairs. The taps and shower are specially designed for tetraplegic and quadroplegic persons. The premises have been tested by a wheelchair user. The homestead is furnished with inherited antique furniture and decorated with a warm and relaxed feel for your comfort. Your room comes with a standard five star prescribed quality mattress, and pure cotton percale linen, TV (1,2,3 & ETV), ceiling fan, fridge, coffee and tea facilities with home made rusks and biscuits (cookies). In winter there are electric blankets on all the beds and wall-mounted heaters to keep our guests snug and warm.

Victoria West is the mecca for Merino and Dorper sheep and Angora goat farming in South Africa. The area abounds with game farms which cater for hunting trips. The Mannetjies Roux rugby museum is really worth a visit and the local museum, one of three regional museums in the Northern Cape, has genuine fish fossils. The Moonlight Hill walking trail provides a panoramic view of our whole village and has interesting birdlife, it is also home to the Black Eagle and indigenous plants. The Karoo has an estimated 7 000 plant species, which is three times higher than that of the United Kingdom. Annual events that take place in the surrounding area include The Agricultural Show in February and the Karoo Golf Classic in May. The Apollo Theatre, still in its original state, dates from the fifty’s, and houses the South African Film Festival during September.
