Hotels with smoking rooms in Great Karoo, South Africa

"We had a memorable honeymoon stay at Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve. The property is beautifully maintained, blending comfort with the rugged charm of the Cederberg landscape. Cleanliness: The rooms were spotless, with thoughtful touches that made us feel at home. Pool & Spa: The pool was well-kept and inviting, though on the smaller side. It was perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring, and the spa was relaxing and professional—an ideal way to unwind. Staff & Service: The staff were warm, attentive, and went out of their way to make our stay special. Facilities: Everything felt well cared for, from the lodge amenities to the outdoor areas. Surroundings: The reserve itself is breathtaking—quiet, scenic, and full of unique rock formations. It’s a great base for stargazing, hikes, and soaking in the natural beauty. Highlights: Stargazing under the clear night sky was unforgettable. The guided nature walks gave us a deeper appreciation of the local wildlife and history. Dining options were varied and delicious, fresh with a nice balance of local flavors. Travel notes: Kagga Kamma is located about three hours’ drive from Cape Town, so plan ahead for the journey. The nearest town is roughly an hour and a half away, making the reserve very secluded. This adds to the tranquility, but it’s worth preparing for the remoteness."

"Such an amazing time wished we stayed an extra day. Staff was amazing, amenities were great room was clean and the game drive was incredible. "
