"Koo Karoo is within walking distance of restaurants and mid town Montagu. The owner, Shirley, originally from the UK but purely South African in heart, is friendly and goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable. The room was well appointed with everything we needed and the fireplace place in main lounge made for a cosy and delicious breakfast in the morning. An enjoyable stay.

"Our stay at Koo Karoo Guest Lodge was most enjoyable and Paul and Shirley were the perfect hosts. They are well informed about everything Montagu and surroundings have to offer to the tourist and recommended lovely restaurants (and even made the bookings for us).

The facilities are excellent, clean, and safe and have a very homely feel about it and the hearty breakfast we were served in the mornings was delicious. Koo Karoo Guest Lodge is centrally located and within walking distance of a variety of good restaurants and shops.

The owners/managers are passionate about what they do, and it shows in the quality and service we received. My husband and I are definitely going back as we had a wonderful stay in Montagu and will stay nowhere else than at Paul and ShirleyÕs."

The owner, Shirley, was very attentive and made sure that we had everything that we needed. It is also within walking distance of the town and so there is no need to always use the car. If we are in Montagu in the future, we would certainly try to stay there again. "

"Our stay at Koo Karoo Guest Lodge was most enjoyable.
It was the ideal place to break-away for our honeymoon.
We loved the beautiful green grass, parking was perfect and safe. I simply loved the kitchen and the lounge area was cozy and spacious, we loved the idea that there was a stand-fan.
The rooms are neat and tidy the bathroom massive, we simply loved that. we were given wrong information by another guest but that didn't stop us from calling the owners and the record was set straight. They immediately met with us and re-assured us that what we saw on their website is what we'll be getting.
We felt so at home it was as if we're in our own place. We will recommend Koo Karoo to anybody, you feel right at home.
Dstv was a bonus and the Wi-Fi was the cherry on the cake.
We will go back anytime. I'm glad we didn't allow another guest to spoil our wonderful stay at Koo Karoo by believing what negative and upsetting information they gave us. Thank you to the owners Shirley and Paul for maintaining the lodge so wonderfully. High Five for Koo Karoo :)"

The breakfast was superb: freshly made, nicely presented and Paul and Shirley had a good chat with us when we showed interest in their business.
We wish them well, all the success they deserve.
Highly recommended. "


"Koo Karoo"

(South Africa) Mrs Coetzee

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this quaint guesthouse and were very well looked after. I found the owners very friendly and they were very well informed as to the activities available in the area. The cottage was clean and perfect for our short stay."


"A warm stay at the Koo Karoo !"

(South Africa) Mrs Searle

"Their welcome was efficient and they expected us. The accommodation was very clean and well equipped. Tea and coffee were provided but no milk was offered. An air conditioner would have been a huge relief as it was very warm."


"Our final holiday destination"

(United Kingdom) Mr Godliman

"We absolutely loved our stay. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable and the extra areas available to us - sitting room, outside area & small pool - were excellent. Paul & Shirley were such friendly, helpful & hospitable hosts. We would highly recommend this Guest Lodge to anyone."

"The Koo Karoo was easy to find and had secure covered off-street parking. It was situated in a very peaceful area of town only a few blocks from the centre. We were made welcome by the English owners who briefed us on the local surroundings.

The room was light and airy, with direct access to the outside. There was a nice garden with a small pool (towels provided), and the atmosphere was one of total relaxation. The '24 hour' self service honesty bar helped!

The owners were keen for us to enjoy our time there and booked us into a good restaurant, only a block away. There were also several others a few blocks away.

We would have liked to have stayed longer to enjoy more facilities of the town. We managed only an enjoyable couple of hours at the Hot Spring Resort about 3kms away, but we may return to play on the Golf Course!

We regretfully had to leave for a trip home, but not without being offered a hearty breakfast.

To be highly recommended.
