The key to Graaff-Reinet’s historical treasure trove

Graaff-Reinet, a historic town with the highest number of heritage sites (220) in South Africa, is nearly encircled by the fossil-laden Camdeboo National Park in the Great Karoo.  Drostdy House, an opulent boutique hotel, serves as the quintessential starting point for exploration.

The activities in the area are diverse and abundant.  One can admire the captivating nature or immerse oneself in it through 4×4 excursions, hiking, or mountain biking trails.  One can journey back in time to prehistoric eras or the 1800s through the diverse museums in Graaff-Reinet.  This location houses the world’s largest collection of cactus and is in proximity to the nation’s premier example of outsider art, Helen Martin’s Owl House in Nieu Bethesda.

Subsequently, relax in the luxury of the Drostdy House accommodations, which provide 48 distinct rooms.  All amenities, including bathrobes, 100% cotton linens, complimentary Wi-Fi, and satellite television, are available, alongside on-site facilities such as a restaurant, gym, Africology Spa, and three swimming pools.
