The 'homely home' consists of 31 beautifully restored and handsomely furnished Karoo houses, their stoeps (porches) opening onto one of Cradock's oldest streets, and garden cottages. The neighbouring Victoria Manor is an atmospheric small-town inn with a splash pool, a wood-panelled bar-restaurant, and antiques in the charming rooms. Air-con is available on request in some rooms only.
The picture-perfect self-catering houses, which each accommodate up to eight, are split between light and modern interpretations of Karoo rusticity and more historic decor, redolent of the Brits and Boers who once trod their floorboards. Lovely.
