"Relax and Unwind in tranquility"

09 March 2020

"An amazing oasis in the Karoo to relax and unwind. Holding only 9 self catering chalets, this is a place where we felt at peace right from the start. The staff are very friendly and approachable; a credit to the camp.Our chalet was clean and very well presented. Stocked with the basics including tea, coffee and even milk in the fridge for our arrival, the kitchen and outside space had plenty of facilities for us to cook on. In addition, we were able to have breakfast in the main congregation area if we wanted.In addition to the chalet facilities, other facilities in the camp included a pool, bar area, outside and undercover seating areas (with the most comfortable sofas) and dining area / conference facilities. Walks were very well signposted and looked after, without spoiling the I would recommend this to anyone who just wants to get away for some 'me time'."

"The fact that it is small camp and only 7 chalets and the fact one could move around freely and go where youwanted and and that animals were left to roam freely. Gail was a very friendly and helpful host"

"Ko-Ka Tsara was a wonderful experience. I am amazed how beautiful it is. The staff were very friendly and the accommodation comfortable. We stayed over 2 nights...and I am glad or we would have missed out. The way the prepacked meat / salads and bread are presented is great and it tastes great. Definitely worth it. We also had a three course dinner the last night - Great!"
