Lekker gekuier en geslaap!

Wonderlike gasvryheid en fasiliteite. Net buite die dorp en heerlik stil met die mooiste uitsig op berge.

Have a good time and sleep!

Wonderful hospitality and facilities. Just outside the town and wonderfully quiet with the most beautiful view of mountains.

Heerlik daar gekuier.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Sue is baie vriendelik en het ons vinnig gehelp met braaihout, ens. Die huisie is pragtig uitgelê en daar is alles wat 'n reisiger nodig mag kry. Alles is mooi skoon en gerieflik.

Had a great time there.

We had a very nice stay. Sue is very friendly and helped us quickly with firewood, etc. The cottage is beautifully laid out and has everything a traveler could need. Everything is nice clean and comfortable.

Peaceful stay just outside of Calitzdorp.

We enjoyed our stay at Karoo Magic over the weekend of the Calitzdorp Succulent Festival. Sue was accommodating and helpful. Highly recommended!

Uitstekende selfsorgeenheid met 'n lekker stoep en braai area.

Karoo Magic was 'magic' net soos die naam sê. Die dubbelverdiepingseenheid op die eienaar se perseel het alles ingehad wat vir jou 'n baie gerieflike en gemaklike verblyf vir seker. Die onderste gedeelte van die eenheid het bestaan uit 'n oopplan kombuis en sitarea. Die kombuis het 'n groot yskas, mikrogolfoond, en 'n tweeplaat oondjie gehad. Die opwasarea het seep en afdrooglappe gehad. Die sitarea het bestaan uit twee gemakstoele en 'n bank onder die trap wat na die boonste verdieping gaan. Koffie, tee, suiker, en vars melk was voorsien, asook koue water in die yskas. Die boonste verdieping het 'n groot slaapkamer met 'n ensuite-badkamer, twee gemaklike stoele, lugversorging, 'n koningsgrootte bed met kwaliteit wit linne, asook 'n elektriese kombers op die bed. Die matras was van goeie gehalte en dit het baie gemaklik geslaap. Die badkamer het 'n stort en die water was baie vinnig warm om 'n lekker stort te verseker. Die wasbak het luukse handeseep en handeroom gehad. Dankie vir die lekker bederf. Daar was groot wit badhanddoeke asook handhanddoeke voorsien. Die onderdak stoep was 'n genot om by te kuier en te braai. Daar was 'n braai area met braaihout wat voorsien was deur die gasvrou en wat skoongemaak is na die vorige aand se braai. Baie dankie. Die tafel en stoele was gerieflik om by te eet en daar was ook twee gemakstoele om by te sit. Die braai area kyk uit oor 'n pragtige versorgde tuin. Die hele eiendom is omhein, en dit maak dit baie veilig vir jou en jou troeteldiere. Daar was sekuriteitsligte wat die area verlig het vir veiligheid. Die eenheid het onbeperkte WiFi gehad wat uitstekend gewerk het. Die enigste nadeel was die lang, steil oop trap met 13 trappe na die boonste gedeelte waar die slaapkamer en badkamer is. Dit was nie genoem in die beskrywing nie, en daar was ook nie 'n foto van die trap nie. Dit was 'n uitdaging vir my aangesien ek moeilik loop en sukkel met trappe. Behalwe vir die trappe was Karoo Magic 'n pragtige skoon, gerieflike selfsorgakkommodasie. Jy kon jou motor reg voor die deur parkeer wat die in- en uitlaai baie gemaklik gemaak het. Die gasvrou was baie vriendelik, en sy het ons privaatheid gerespekteer. Ons het goeie kommunikasie gehad. Ons verblyf was regtig baie lekker, en ons kan Karoo Magic aanbeveel as uitstekende, veilige, troeteldiervriendelike akkommodasie. Dankie Karoo Magic vir 2 fantastiese dae by julle. Ons het dit baie geniet.

Excellent self-catering unit with a nice stoep and braai area.

Karoo Magic was 'magic' just as the name says. The double storey unit on the owner's premises has everything you need for a very convenient and comfortable stay for sure. The lower part of the unit consisted of an open plan kitchen and lounge area. The kitchen had a large refrigerator, microwave, and a two-plate oven. The washing up area had soap and drying cloths. The sitting area consisted of two easy chairs and a sofa under the stairs leading to the upper floor. Coffee, tea, sugar, and fresh milk were provided, as well as cold water in the fridge. The upper floor has a large bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, two comfortable chairs, air conditioning, a king size bed with quality white linen, as well as an electric blanket on the bed. The mattress was of good quality and it slept very comfortably. The bathroom has a shower and the water was hot very quickly to ensure a nice shower. The sink had luxurious hand soap and hand cream. Thanks for the nice treat. There were large white bath towels as well as hand towels provided. The covered porch was a delight to visit and barbecue. There was a braai area with braai wood which was provided by the hostess and which was cleaned after the previous night's braai. Thank you very much. The table and chairs were comfortable to eat at and there were also two easy chairs to sit at. The braai area overlooks a beautifully maintained garden. The entire property is fenced, making it very safe for you and your pets. There were security lights illuminating the area for safety. The unit had unlimited WiFi which worked great. The only downside was the long, steep open staircase with 13 steps to the upper part where the bedroom and bathroom are. It was not mentioned in the description, nor was there a photo of the staircase. This was a challenge for me as I have difficulty walking and struggle with stairs. Apart from the stairs, Karoo Magic was beautifully clean, comfortable self-catering accommodation. You could park your car right in front of the door which made loading and unloading very comfortable. The hostess was very friendly, and she respected our privacy. We had good communication. Our stay was really very enjoyable, and we can recommend Karoo Magic as excellent, safe, pet-friendly accommodation. Thank you Karoo Magic for 2 fantastic days with you. We enjoyed it very much.

'n Lekker oorslaap - volgende keer kom ons langer.

Ons het heerlik hier gebly en sal definitief weer hier kom oorslaap. Dit is 'n baie gerieflike woonstel, baie goed ingerig. Die gasvrou is vriendelik en baie behulpsaam.

Beste naweek ooit.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Sue en Charlie was so gasvry en vriendelik. Sue het ons heeltyd gemaklik laat voel en altyd gevra of ons niks nodig het nie. Hulle is die beste gasheer en gasvrou ooit. (They are the best hosts ever.)

We stayed there for six nights while attending a congress in town. The unit was well-maintained and comfortable. We would certainly consider staying there again if we were in the area.

The place is pet-friendly, we travelled with 2 yorkies, who walked around free there. There is a nice private braai area, which is private and spacious. It was a delightful stay.

We spent 14 days in the Karoo and stayed at 6 establishments - Karoo Magic was certainly the best.

Karoo Magic is a superbly appointed garden cottage with a spacious kitchen, living area and separate bedroom on the upstairs level. The covered braai patio was comfortable with lovely views of the surrounding hills. Use of the pool was most welcome, swim towels provided. A lovely stay.
