Central Karoo District Municipality Hotels and Accommodation

"We stayed one night with our children ages 8 and 10. Our children thought Aquila was magical and thoroughly enjoyed the facilities and their time with the animals. Food was good with plenty of variety and very friendly waiting and serving staff. All in all a great experience however a few improvements can be made: 1) There were a lot of flies at the lunchtime buffet which were enjoying the uncovered cakes and puddings. Please cover the food to minimise this. 2) Blankets should be provided on the morning safaris. 3) Safari guests should be requested to turn off/disable bleeping/shutter noises on their camera and electronic equipment. There are lots of senses used to enjoy the African bush including listening to birds, animals communicating with one another and the sounds of elephants treading the earth. Electronic sounds completely ruin this! 4) The pool water is extremely cold! Any chance of getting some heating?"

"Very peaceful and beautiful place to stay. Easy access to Cango Caves and Meerkat experience. Friendly staff. Lovely breakfast. Welcome drink and warm welcome on arrival. The only minor issue we had was that we noticed quite a few ants in our bedroom in the morning. We would still recommend this place to others."

"Comfortable room , could have been cleaner. "

"Jude was an extremely helpful and friendly host, and she even organised reservations at local restaurants and provided many great recommendations for our 2 night stay. Very comfortable and clean rooms and well located on the main street within walking distance of many local shops and restaurants. Thank you"

"It is very clean but everything about it feels a lot more like a cheap motel than a country lodge"

"Perfect place... i wish i could have brought my family and stayed longer. So comfy... refreshing.... amazing braai pack for dinner braai. Burnt my finger and the staff were helpful in attending to it. Highly recommend Travalia."

"Wonderful property with central garden and pool area that is exceptional. The host is very welcoming and always ready to assist. I would highly recommend this property to anyone spending time in this area "

"From the moment guests arrive at De Bergkant, they feel special. Even the parking lot is well thought out and pretty (as parking lots go). Tracey greeted us with ice tea from local rooibos plants and honey from local bees. Our room was clean, beautiful in a delightful way, and comfortable. The grounds were lovely and we took a dip in one of the pools before a delicious breakfast. It’s an impeccably designed property."

"Quiet, close to nature, many antelope and birds"
