A beautiful gem in the middle of nowhere (but still a good choice for an over night stay and just a slight detour when on your way to the Cape or back) with tons of history, beautiful buildings and gardens. Quiet and restful. Friendly owners, warm, clean and an excellent dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Karoo Hospitality at its Best. What a great spot to break a long trip. Our cottage was cosy, spotlessly clean and very comfortable and having breakfast and dinner served in the cottage is an excellent system. It was good to take walk around the gardens and the dam and stretch our legs after a day in the car. Blackie’s little Boer War museum is fascinating and so well presented. The tradition of a chat with our hosts and other guests and a drink in the library/bar before dinner is very nice. Prior Grange is a gem of a place.
