Wolverfontein Karoo Cottages, Klein Karoo

Nestled at the foot of the Touwsberg, on the banks of the Touws River, lies Wolverfontein Farm. This farm, just off Route 62, was established in 1890 with the building of Moreson Manor. This “Volstruis Paleis”, built at the height of the Ostrich Feather boom, and now a private residence, is your reception to the two accommodation options on offer – Zara Cottage and D’Waenhuis.

The Touwsberg, a spectacular granite edifice, lies between Barrydale and Ladismith, and is part of the Touwsberg Private Game Reserve. This pristine area offers the visitor unparalled access to the flora and fauna of the semi-arid region of the Cape called The Klein Karoo. Both Zara Cottage and D’Waenhuis have uninterrupted views of the Touws River valley.

D’Waenhuis

D’Waenhuis is a restored farm building dating to the late 1800’s. Today it’s a self-catering retreat for romantic couples, with the added option of two sleeper couches should you need them for the kids.
D’Waenhuis has high Oregon ceilings and is packed with plenty of character and retro delights. The lounge area with indoor fireplace is most spacious, with the double bedroom leading straight off it.
There’s an open-plan kitchen, outside braai area and covered stoep. All bedding and towels are provided and a bag of wood is complimentary per night.

Zara Cottage

Zara Cottage was built in the 1930’s and sleeps up to six in three bedrooms (king, twin and queen). The main bedroom comes with en suite bathroom. A shared bathroom services the remaining two bedrooms.
The kitchen and dining area is open plan, with a working Welcome Dover stove gracing the kitchen in true Karoo fashion.

The separate living room, with parquet floors and reed ceilings, opens to a covered stoep and built-in braai. The cottage has been decorated in a Karoo Art Deco style.

There is plenty outdoor shaded area, a pit and portable braai. A complimentary bag of wood per night and all bedding/towels provided.
