Lovely peaceful getaway spot. If you like the Karoo, this is a nice place. Beautiful view and tranquility. Hair's Lair was well equipped and comfortable. Our dog stayed with us and only missed a patch of grass, but that's the Karoo for you. Klipwærdel. The retreat itself is on a hill, so wherever you walk, it's going to be up or down.

Heerlike rustige wegbreek plek. As jy hou van die Karoo, is dit 'n lekker plek. Pragtige uitsig en rustigheid. Hair's Lair was goed toegerus en gemaklik. Ons hondjie het saam gebly en net 'n stukkie gras gemis, maar dis die Karoo vir jou. Klipwêreld. Die retreat self is teen 'n heuwel, so waarheen jy ook al loop, gaan op- of afdraand wees.

Relaxing, beautiful, value, peaceful. Absolutely amazing, a real little gem in the heart of the Klein Karoo. Very spacious, clean and very well equipped with everything you need for a short or long stay. The hosts are amazing, very friendly and helpful. They were in communication with me a few days prior to our arrival to help us locate the correct and easiest routes to our accommodation. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to go to the Karoo to stay at the Travelling Tortoise. 10 out of 10.

Outstanding. Had a very nice stay. Feels like you're at home. And the view over the valley, fantastic!

Uitstekend. Het baie lekker oorgebly. Voel of jy by die huis is. En die uitsig oor die vallei, fantasties!

Relaxing and beautiful. Beautiful accommodation with everything you need. The play area and swimming pool are ideal for small children. Very neat and clean.

Ontspannend en beeldskoon. Pragtige verblyf met alles wat benodig word. Die speelarea en swembad is ideaal vir klein kinders. Baie netjies en skoon.

The place reminds you of the story of the hare and the tortoise. It was really nice and something different.

Die plekkie laat jou dink aan die storie van die hasie en skilpad. Dit was nou baie lekker en iets anders.

Had a great time. Do repairs and renovations when there are no guests. Excellent, the view and silence were incredible.

Het baie lekker gekuier. Doen herstel en opknappings as daar nie gaste is nie. Uitstekend, die uitsig en stilte was ongelooflik.

Food for your soul. Very nice place, quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Please note that if you want to use the wood-fired hot tub, you must stay at least 2 nights and it is R60 per night extra.

Kos vir jou siel. Baie oulike plek, rustig en uit die stad se gewoel. Neem kennis dat as jy van die houtvuur warmbad wil gebruikmaak, moet jy minstens 2 aande oorbly en dit is R60 per aand ekstra.
