Description
Karookop Cottage is located at the foothills of the Karookop Mountain on the outskirts of Clanwilliam. Situated below the Pakhuis Pass, gateway to the Cederberg Wilderness Reserve with its stunning rock formations and extensive collection of ancient San rock art, this is an ideal location from which to explore the splendour of the region.
Surrounded by spectacular mountain views, the cottage overlooks fruit trees and vineyards that line the banks of the Jan Dissels River. Set back from the road in a small cluster of four houses, Karookop offers the tranquility of the Cederberg yet is two minutes from the town centre and a five-minute drive to the popular Clanwilliam Dam. The dam is known for its variety of water sports and recreational activities while the town itself offers an assortment of restaurants, shops and historical buildings.
Accommodation: The spacious cottage is surrounded by a wide paved verandah (stoep) with sparkling swimming pool, lawns, garden and a large convivial braai (BBQ) area. The cottage dates from the mid 1800s when built by Irish settlers and has recently been renovated to a particularly high standard. There are three large, bright bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, air-conditioning, private walk-in dressing area and en-suite bathroom.
