In the heart of a town with a rich history and immense character, Drostdy Hotel – the finest Karoo gem – is found. This town, Graaff-Reinet, was established in 1786 and has matured into a charming destination that is well-known for its blend of Cape Dutch, Victorian and Karoo architecture. Uniquely, the town is surrounded, almost entirely, by the Camdeboo National Park which boasts spectacular wildlife and natural scenery.
Just as pleasing to the eye, Drostdy Hotel was initially built in the early 1800s and has its own fascinating story, having been refined over the years into one of South Africa’s top 10 hotels. Although it bears modern touches and a contemporary atmosphere, it remains true to its roots with furnishings and antiques that point to the past. Guests will find this understated grande dame a comfortable retreat in the expansive Great Karoo.

Once a stagecoach post, Zuurberg Mountain Village is situated at the top of the historic Zuurberg Pass that was built in the 1850s as the main route between Gqeberha and the Karoo.
While SUVs and other vehicles have replaced horses as the preferred mode of transport through the pass, Zuurberg Mountain Village has retained its historic charm and the views over the valleys and mountains are no doubt as splendid as they were over 160 years ago.
Today the undulating, fynbos-covered landscape surrounding Zuurberg Mountain Village is part of the Addo Elephant National Park, the third largest national park in South Africa, and one of the most popular safari destinations in the country. Comfortably accessible from Gqeberha via Paterson, and 20 km from the main camp at Addo, Zuurberg Mountain Village is an ideal base from which to explore the malaria-free reserve which covers 145 000 hectares across five distinct ecosystems and is home to over 600 elephants as well as all other members of the Big Five.
