Reviews from previous Die Tuishuise and Victoria Manor guests
“The most beautiful hotel and cottages, oozing history, charm, love and thoughtfulness. Our cottage was huge, comfortable, beautiful and memorable. Our dinner was amazing. And the staff are warm and welcoming. This is a special Karoo and South African gem – not to be missed and to be returned to over and over,” wrote SoTi on their TripAdvisor page.
Stefaan V added; “We only stayed one night and we experienced a wonderful service. Clean, nice, special. Really to recommend. We will be back and stay longer next time. The restaurant is nice, a bit sober, could be better, but still, nice honest food.”
