This is served with BraaiBroodjies, Salads and Paptert (Traditional Polenta Bake) followed by Malva Pudding and Ice Cream. A cultural experience not to be missed.

This quaint Scottish themed pub serves the coldest beer in the Southern Hemisphere! Great variety of local and imported drinks available at reasonable prices. Locally hand crafted Karusa Ale on tap together with local Karusa wines provide that special local feel in a pub where everyone knows your name.

All the major sporting events can be viewed on the big screen whilst enjoying the company of local sports fanatics. Due to the spectacular weather in this area, the outside bar area is popular throughout the year. Nothing better than a Cosmo or Long Island Ice Tea next to the pool.

The very modern Boet Schnetler Conference centre is ideal for weddings/private functions and conferences. This room is fully air-conditioned with dimmers and its own bar area. It can seat between 80 and 100 delegates.

The Cango Caves are listed among the world’s greatest natural wonders. Formed over millions of years, the caves offer a fascinating journey through breathtaking limestone formations.

Although the caves had been used by Bushmen they remained unexplored until sometime around 1780. They are one of the 10 most visited tourist attractions in South Africa and are must to be visited. The caves were declared a National Monument in 1938 and stretch for more than 2 kilometres into the mountain.

The Swartberg Pass, also a National Monument, is just a few kilometres further north along the R328 towards Prince Albert and is described as one of the most spectacular and dramatic roads in the World.

The Swartberg Nature Reserve encompasses 129,000 hectares of tranquillity and features remarkably diverse vegetation, including renosterveld, mountain fynbos, Karooveld, spekboom veld and numerous geophyte species. VK
