Ben's cottage is a wonderful place to start your drive to Bosluiskloof and through Seweweekspoort. The ambience is wonderful, with a well equipped kitchen, two spacious rooms and an amazing porch from where to see the sunset over the Little Karoo. The dogs + ducks + chickens all add to the flavour. Do yourself a favour and book a night or two at Ben's cottage!! |
I would whole-heartedly without any reservations recommend a stay in the cottage. The little ones found enough adventure outside to keep them busy (they even got to milk a cow). The children didn’t even notice the absence of a television. The views are spectacular, the accommodation clean and affordable – bliss. |
Just what we like - rural and a little old fashioned. We loved staying in Ben's Cottage. Comfortable and everything we needed was there. Even a huge luxurious bath. Easy booking and easy to find. Thank you very much! |
Wonderful stay! Our week at Ben's Cottage was wonderful! Quiet and peaceful, without being isolated. Ben was a gracious host that never intruded, but was helpful, informative and shared his knowledge of the area. Great place from which to explore the trendier Karoo towns and some hidden gems. I will never see the Karoo in the same light again. Would recommend Ben"s Cottage to all. (Not to forget the delicious freshly baked bread). |
