Witkrans Lodge

Witkrans Lodge is situated on a working sheep farm, 12 km from Middelburg in the tranquil Karoo. There is one cottage with two en-suite bedrooms, which is fully equipped. There are garages as well as braai facilities with wood and braai packs available. The cottage is pet- and wheelchair friendly.

Middelburg lies in the middle of the Karoo, surrounded by mountains in an area recognized for its prolific and naturally occurring herbal plant life. Just outside Middelburg lies the Karoo National Park, probably one of the main attractions to this part of the world and a wonderful example of how life has adapted to survive harsh weather conditions.

Surrounded by the Nuweveld Mountains, the park is home to black rhino and buffalo, the Cape mountain zebra and over 20 breeding pairs of black eagle. There are some wonderful examples of succulent plants and small reptiles as well, and a bird hide that is worth an early morning and evening visit. The skies are filled with stars at night and Middelburg has surrounding waterfalls and streams that provide the town with its water.

  • "Wonderful stay"

    23 December 2019

    "We really enjoyed the overnight stay!"

  • "Lovely overnight stay"

    21 December 2019

    "We stayed at Witkrans enroute to The Underberg. We were well impressed with the amenities. A powerful fan provided welcome relief from the heat & any mozzies that were brave enough to venture in. In winter the electric blankets would definitely be a bonus. I was very impressed with spotless & spacious rooms, comfy beds & lovely crisp linen & especially the small details, rusks, tea, coffee & even milk was provided for, not to mention a selection of cereals. Things that I find make a place special is when a thoughtful host leaves peaceful sleep/tabard in the room(There is nothing worse than starting off a holiday covered in nasty itchy mosquito bites) A lovely little oasis for some weary travelers. The kids loved the table tennis & there was darts & a pool table to keep them busy in the communal kitchen. My only very very small gripe is there could be a few extra items in the kitchen: a colander & extra knives but this is so minor its almost not worth mentioning."

Milda and her staff were fantastically helpful when we woke up to a car that wouldn't start from frozen diesel. Our kids were fed and entertained and Milda made us feel very welcome and relaxed in her home while our car thawed out! Thank you Milda, what a lovely stay."
