“Very good value for money.”
We stayed in the cottage for three nights. Place was clean and Sissie comes in every day. Bed is King-size but not extra length. Aircon in the lounge area with ceiling fans in the bedrooms. Main bedroom is big. For the price you pay you get good value. I did not expected to have DSTv and missed more than half the F1. We did not use the kitchen other than making coffee and pouring cooldrinks. The fridge/freezer is big enough. Christine is a nice host and will try to keep you happy.

It's very central. The room was spacious and comfortable although I had to keep the windows covered as they all looked out on the street.

We were in the Queen room - Room 2. Just the light in the toilet needs to be brighter. Could hardly see when it was dark. Otherwise all was great. Thank you.

“We enjoyed our short stay and would highly recommend it.”
Very comfortable stay for myself and two kids. The aircon warmed up the living area nicely as it was very cold. Nice big main bed.

“Fantastic staff and excellent value for money”
Koo Karoo is a great place to stay if you are visiting Montagu. We stayed in the 2 bed cottage which was very spacious, clean and well equipped for our stay. We also had our adult family and 2 grandbabies staying in 3 other rooms and they were all equally spacious and clean. There are communal areas both indoor and out as well which was excellent if we all wanted to be together. The location is excellent with shops and restaurants in walking distance. The self catering facilities are excellent and such a bonus for the times that you would prefer to eat at home. We also really enjoyed and appreciated the pool . The staff are amazing! Excellent communication and so helpful . Koo Karoo was excellent value for money and we would definitley stay there again.
