Wonderful comfortable cottage with a beautiful garden. Fantastic for our 2 dogs while we rode the Karlkloof trails.

Excellent cottage in Karkloof area

10.0

Gartmore Guest Farm is the kind of place that makes decision-making very difficult in a good way. We were in the area for sports events at Karkloof Country Club which, conveniently, is +-5km from the farm. It’s a beautiful area so going out for activities is a treat. But the cottage is so cosy that we could’ve stayed indoors by the fireplace all weekend. The shower is great and the kitchen is perfect for easy meals when you want an early night. A big bed is always a bonus and this one was very comfortable and warm too. It’s also really peaceful at night. The host is exceptional; so helpful and responsive! And there are really friendly dogs that became my running partners one day.
