Oasis in the middle of the Karoo. The location is fantastic and, although we only stayed from the Cape, we can definitely recommend it for a holiday destination.
Beautiful, spacious and tastefully furnished rooms. Booked dinner and food was fantastic. New Holme is part of the Karoo Gariep Private Conservancy and offers so much more than just an overnight destination. For nature lovers and people who just want to get away and seek tranquility, this is definitely worth a longer visit.

It's a case of the food is delicious and the buffet has a great variety - too much to taste everything. There was some problem with employees, as it seems the family themselves had to step in to help everyone. However, the service was still good.

New Holme Nature Lodge 's response
Hi Michael,
Thanks for this , we will make sure in what room you were and look at the smell. With half our annual rain in one week and 4 trees throwing down huge branches in this storms we are a bit behind with the garden. Though very thankful for the rain. We also jumped form a 30 guest lodge to a 55 guest lodge in 2020 and all gardens , grass and overall look is not 100%. Sorry for this but please test us in 8 months time again. We just had 1654 guest from 1 Dec to 14 Jan ( the best ever) we are broken and will take a 2 week break.
Thanks for keeping us on out toes, we appreciate.

Comfortable!
After the long drive we were able to relax wonderfully in the peaceful garden. Nice walk and was able to get close to the moose and other wildlife just by walking around the accommodation. I would like to give a thumbs up to the cook! The food was particularly exquisite, beautifully presented and extremely tasty.

Nice Karoo guesthouse.
We stayed here for the first time 9 years ago and it was a nice experience again. A true Karoo guesthouse. It is very quiet at night and the sky is full of stars. PC (owner) received us and Mariska was the chef. The food is very good and the dining hall is typical Karoo-style. Hanover is in the middle between Gauteng and Cape Town and it is ideally situated for an overnight stop. PC takes his guests to look at the hippos and birds or on a game drive.

Tranquility and hospitality in the Karoo.
We slept in Stoffel Rus, the log house was comfortable with everything you need. We were received with hospitality, and immediately felt at home. It was something else to be able to see the moose on the farm up close, it created a peaceful atmosphere. The accommodation would have been more ideal if the wooden house had its own braai facilities.

Wonderfully peaceful, quiet and close to nature. Top shelf food - very Karoo! Hospitality as can only be expected in the Karoo!
Was unsure at first if the turning was the right one, but luckily after 1 km there was another sign showing New Holm 7 km. I was welcomed with open arms and since then the time just flew by too fast. Couldn't find the manatees but the bird life by the river made up for it. Annemie, you are truly a master cook! Hope to have the privilege again one day after it rains, to be able to go home there.

Wonderful, soul-invigorating. Can really recommend it.
We really enjoyed our night in the Karoo Gariep Conservancy. The hippos were unfortunately a bit shy and only peeked at us a few times. The buffet barbecue with starter, main course and dessert was delicious and we pretty much feasted. Then there was the beautiful sunset that one could enjoy from the observation deck and the swimming pool to cool off in. The place really has character with a very friendly hostess and host. The stars in the Karoo dark night are so bright and feel so close it feels like you could pick a star. We also saw shooting stars. The Milky Way was the most beautiful beautiful. For breakfast a quick coffee and rusks together with tame guinea fowl tongues, petting a lamb and seeing a calf jump from sheer joy of life in the early morning freshness of the Karoo. It was really an experience that I will remember for a long time. The only downside is the dirt road you have to drive to get there, but in my opinion it is well worth it.

Lovely, convenient rooms with beautiful furniture, a nice swimming pool and fantastic dinner in the middle of nowhere. The deck to look at the stars is amazing. The directions to the place can be clearer - the turn off is on the left, 25 km on the N1 from Hanover to Colesberg. Then you still drive 8 km on a gravel road to get to the farm.

The children really enjoyed the overnight stay. Nicely swam, ate and slept. Very friendly reception and a nice peaceful atmosphere. Really recommended if you are heading to the Cape from Johannesburg/Pretoria or the North and want to rest a bit. I also think it could be very nice for longer holidays, especially if the young children like to play outside on a farm.
