"Friendly and cosy"

(South Africa) Bianca Fizzotti

"Staff was very accommodating and the location is beautiful. The safari tent was perfect and the fan helped with the heat. We had a comfortable stay."


"My folks enjoyed their quick getaway!"

(South Africa) Nadine Potgieter-Pluhar

"Despite the fact that Oudthoorn was a literal furnace, my parents loved the setting, the food and the star filled night sky. An establishment with true character.Thank you :-)"

"It was awesome. The view is beautiful and their food is out of this world. Le Petit Karoo Ranch will see me again."


"Expected more"

(New Zealand) Heidi van der Merwe

"It is a different experience to normal indoors accommodation obviously. It was a rainy day and that did not help matters much. The curtains blocked the view from the sliding doors as they couldnt open to either side of the window. If you enjoy the outdoors then this is suitable for you. Perhaps w..."

"It is a different experience to normal indoors accommodation obviously. It was a rainy day and that did not help matters much. The curtains blocked the view from the sliding doors as they couldnt open to either side of the window. If you enjoy the outdoors then this is suitable for you. Perhaps we would have liked it if the weather was hot so that we could enjoy the splash pool on the deck. "

"Thank you"

(South Africa) Adele De Villiers

"Beautiful surroundings and views. Tastefully decorated and comfortable room. Great single and jeep track for mountain biking and running. Had a lovely stay, thank you."

"My husband and I spent one night in the 'luxury' double room on route to our main destination. The views were superb and if its romantic tranquility you're after this is it. The owner was friendly and breakfast was sufficient. Our only complaint would be the haphazoured hot water in the shower (and sometimes haphazoured water in general), but I guess it is 'tented' accomodation? A bit of milk at the coffee station and a less buget coffe brand ( or at least more than one pre-packaged stick) would have made a world of difference. All in all a decent stay,for which the views and cosy bed make up for most of the let downs."


"Great experience"

(South Africa) Mark Fricke

"Romantic spot! Not super luxury but a great tented camp we would definitely go back to."


"Great"

(South Africa) Loyiso Simon

"Great place for a breakaway. Expect a visit from me again."

"All I can say is - amazingly peaceful, really enjoyable. Very friendly host family. Pascal is a very good host and we enjoyed him and his delicious food. Le Petit Karoo attracts international travellers and we met people from France and the Netherlands there, as well as a South African family of four. Great quality, exceptional value for money. Breathtaking scenery, amazing views. Lovely, challenging walking trail on site. Lovely sunsets from the big deck - ideal for a sun downer. Rooms tastefully decorated and very clean and neat. We loved the Jacuzzi-style bath and spacious bathroom. Would love to try the bush tents next time, that looked like fun. Only little issue was sharing a room with the kids, no privacy for mom and dad. But that was ok for a few nights. All round fantastic, and highly recommended. Le Petit Karoo was everything they said they were and more."


"Really enjoyed our stay"

(South Africa) Elizke Bezuidenhout

"We enjoyed our stay at Le Petit Karoo Ranch very, very much!"


"Peaceful"

(South Africa) Gail Terblanche

"Very relaxing. Stayed in a tent on a deck. Gets very hot in December obviously, but there is a pool right there to cool off in."

We stayed in beautiful guest houses throughout our stay but we can both honestly say Le Petit Karoo Ranch was the most magical place we discovered during our trip. It was just perfect! If you enjoy remote places, away from it all, you won't be disappointed with the Petit Karoo Ranch. It is set on acres of beautiful landscape, where you can go walking for hours and hours. The hosts are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is served on your patio overlooking the valley - priceless!"


"Over the top"

(Switzerland) Christina Brenneis

"It is in a very nice location outside Oudshoorn at an elevated position. The tents don't miss anything, including a whirlpool. The host was very friendly and breakfast was brought to the tent. A different experience worth trying!"


"Very good"

(South Africa) Anien Booyens

"We had a lovely stay at Le Petit. Would like to visit when it is warmer. The staff, as well as owner, was very friendly and the food great."

"Le Petit is a beautiful place with breathtaking views - terrain a bit rough if you have very small children but beautiful rooms, bathroom. Very spacious. Great host."


"Le Petit Karoo Ranch"

"We had a wonderful warm welcome (even the dogs and the goose are friendly). Pascal, our French host, was charming, cooking us dinner even though we arrived late, and rustling up a terrific breakfast every morning. Real coffee! The beds were clean and comfortable, and the jacuzzis wonderful. It's rustic, and not for those who want super luxury. For instance, there was no soap or shampoo or extra little touches one expects from a guest house, so take that along. We slept very well in our tented chalet, with terrific views of the valley. Close to Oudtshoorn and all the sights of the Klein Karoo. HELENE "


"Fun for a night"

Sally Rutkowska

"Does exactly what it says on the tin. We stayed in the bush tent - it is a double bed in a tent! Had an amazing view and it was fab to have the jacuzzi. However, in the height of summer, lack of a fan was slightly uncomfortable. Friendly owners and it was fun for a night."


"Best stay ever"

(Italy) Michael Auer

"Had the best stay of our whole trip in South Africa at Le Petite Karoo. Very good idea with the tents and the dinner. We actually got engaged there!"


"Awesome place,"

(Spain) Carina Belec

"Even stayed a night longer, even though we had paid the deposit for the next place. Dinner on our balcony was great too! Thanks!!!"


"Cool!"

(South Africa) Cedric Downard

"Pascal was warm and relaxed in conversation about the locality.

We were very cold, so I would suggest planning the visit at a warmer time.

The walks and horse riding was amazing... scenic and refreshing."


"Unique stay"

(South Africa) meg veldhuis

"We loved it! Our host Pascal made us feel like it was our home. He taught our kids to ride on his own time, didn't fret when they ran around being kids and just plain bent over backwards to make our stay GREAT. We also loved the sleeping arrangements and those outdoor hot tubs are the best!"


"Very good"

(Canada) DAYLE RUDMAN

"Thank you - it was an amazing experience with a very gracious host"


"Fantastic experience"

(Turkey) gonca tursoy

"We really loved the place and the hospitality. We wish we could have stayed more than one day. It was a fantastic experience to be there...We will definitely go there again... Thanks Florence&Pascal

Love from Turkey"

We would have liked to stay longer and it has definitely been the most memorable stay during our holiday in South Africa. Not to be missed !

"Fantastic oasis! "

(South Africa) Duncan

"A fantastic, tranquil oasis with views that go on forever. Perfect for an overnight stop or for a longer retreat from the hustle and bustle. On a typically hot Karoo day (33 degrees) that pool was bliss! We'll be back. "


"Amazing views from a beautiful room "

(South Africa) Paul

"We only stayed one night, but we really enjoyed the amazing view. Sitting on top of a hill you can see the beautiful mountains all around. Rooms are cosy with good bedding. Perfect for a group of couples because of the nice common area."


"Stunning Setting"

(South Africa) Neil

"Beautiful views over the Klein Karoo from a hill half way between Oudtshoorn and the Cango Caves. Clean accommodation with the necessary pool for the heat. Dinner and breakfast catered for."

(South Africa) Anne Pontin

"The tented accommodation was amazing with a beautiful bath you can sit in and see over the escarpment. The food was excellent and 'mine host' Pascale was helpful and friendly. All together a wonderful experience"


"Beautiful setting"

(South Africa) Vlaming

"Le Petit is beautifully situated with views over the surrounding mountains and valley below. We stayed in a family unit, bunk bed and double bed, very nice. Pascal is a wonderful host. Nice pool. Nice common area to relax in. Well situated to get to caves, town and other attractions."

"Our stay at Le Petit Karoo Ranch was absolutely lovely and a little bit adventurous. It's situated up the mountain and the view is spectacular.
We had a run in with a large spider on our first night that was quite a laugh, there were balls, shoes and pillows flying and we eventually got the better of it ;-). I think it was more afraid of us than we were of it.
The Jacuzzi was a complete win and bubbled the days dust and driving away.
It's a nice open environment which allowed us to get to know other guests a little and the children had a blast playing with the doggies of the Ranch.
Breakfast was delicious and was set out beautifully. Service was prompt and the owner friendly and engaging.

"Great view from the mountains"

(Germany) anonymous

"The ranch is on a hill. The view is amazing, but the street up there was terrible for the first time. If you drive it the second time it is easy. It is a wonderful place, clean and rustical. The owner Pascal is so friendly and nice; he was the greatest owner we met on our whole holiday trip."


"A different perspective on the Klein Karoo"

(South Africa) anonymous

"For something different, try Le Petit Karoo Ranch. One feels close to nature in this beautiful setting, whether walking the labyrinth, enjoying coffee on the deck or braaing in the lapa, aptly named "Gesellig". Pascal's hospitality is warm, yet unintrusive. "


"fabulous"

(South Africa) Ms stolworthy

"We had a great time staying at Le Petit Karoo Ranch and Pascal went out of his way to make us feel at home. Thanks a lot, we will visit again!!"

(South Africa) Mr Van Eyssen

As we were running the Cango marathon, he was happy for us to do a late check-out at 12 and even organized breakfast for us very late. We will definitely return."


"Relaxed, French cuisine, Nature and lovely people!"

(Netherlands) Elleke Berkhof

"We spent 3 days (during Christmas) in Le Petit Karoo in one of the tents overlooking the beautiful valley. Lovely people, great relaxing and good food! One of the highlights of our trip! We highly recommend this B&B!"


"France in Little Karoo"

(Sweden) Mrs Karlsson

"We had a really nice stay in a luxury tent in Le Petit Karoo Ranch. A french inspired dinner in the evening together with a jacuzzi with an exceptional view made our stay really memorable. This is something to recommend if you want an experience out of the ordinary."

"Best stay in Oudthshoorn for nature lovers"

(Sri Lanka) Mrs Ulmer

"A great small place, in the middle of nature on a hill. The tents are made up very nicely. Fantastic to sleep with everything open and only to be disturbed by the moon light. And then there is even a Jacuzzi behind the tent......
Great place!"

They are situated on the top of a hill with the most breathtaking view you'll ever see. Be sure to bring your bubble bath as you are not going to want to get out of that tub soon - the sunset is amazing.

The owner is a delightful man you can just see he loves life and people. Breakfast was great and it is served to you on your patio!

"I spent one night in tent no 1. It was an absolutely awesome experience especially the Jacuzzi which the kids enjoyed before bed and I enjoyed first thing in the morning. The tent was spotless and the beds very very comfortable.

It would also be nice if there was a pool on the premises as Oudtshoorn is very hot in Summer and for tourists who would have spent most of their time doing the sights of Oudtshoorn, it would be good to cool down in a pool at their place of abode.

Other than that, it was a fantastic experience and I would recommend it to anyone."

The tents are clean and nice, there was even a heating blanket working already to assure we’ll not be cold in a chilly week in May. There’s an extra section for sleeping and some space with table and chairs in front. Sitting in a Jacuzzi on the outside terrace below the stars is unforgettable! Peered with French hospitality and an adequate breakfast, you’ll be ready for a beautiful next day. Also, the Cango Caves are not far away."
