The Karoo Gariep New Holme Guesthouse is situated on the banks of the Seekoei River at the northern end of the Karoo Gariep Nature Reserve. The owners and hosts strive to accommodate guests in an environment as close to home comfort as possible. This is not a tight hotel atmosphere but a very easy and relaxed home-like stay.
The guesthouse sleeps 11 guests in 6 bedrooms and this makes close and personal attention possible. The rooms are all en-suite, have electric blankets, air conditioning and tea and coffee facilities. In mid summer the pool comes to a necessary rescue and is a time consuming activity for the children.
On the reserve you will find the only Hippo population in the Northern Cape and the owners manage several conservation projects. Three female staff members are co-owners in a Cape Buffalo breading programme. The "Karoo Shy 5" night-drive might show you a aardvark , bat eared fox , aardwolf , cape fox and black footed cat.
