Places I've been...

The Vale Karoo Farm

As my husband and I have just moved back to South Africa after being away for around 8 years, we decided to take a road trip from Pretoria to Cape Town one long weekend, and yes, it was worth the 16 hours of cheesy songs and losing all sensations in one’s butt. This is why we stopped over for a night somewhere close to Beaufort West a charming lodge called The Vale Karoo Farm.


Although we found this place on a whim (it is literally off the beaten track) so I was not sure what to expect. Once we arrived the staff was so warm and welcoming and went out of their way to accommodate us.



Our room was clean and spacious, with all the necessities (big comfy bed, coffee, tea, minibar, shampoos, lotions, clean fluffy towels, and a huge hot streaming shower - heaven)



We unfortunately did not make full use of the wonderful facilities and activities available as we had to hit the road quite early the next morning, but we could easily be tempted to try the horseback riding. I would recommend The Vale and would definitely go back if we were heading that way again, a true gem in the middle of the Karoo!
