Property information

Located 6km outside Colesberg, Van Zylsvlei is an oasis in the beautiful Karoo. You can expect a warm and hearty welcome when you arrive at this rustic, farm-house styled accommodation. From rondavels to family rooms and campsites, we offer accommodation to suit your every need. PRICE IS FOR ROOM ONLY!! Please enjoy our facilities which include an outdoor pool, a shared lounge area, a bar and complimentary WiFi (be warned that just like the pace, the internet is slow in the Karoo). Or perhaps you prefer a braai and a bench in our garden. We’ll leave that decision up to you! We offer optional dinner from an à la carte menu (you have to try the Karoo lamb!) and a full English breakfast every morning. FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST : R98 PP AND KINDS UNDER 10 YEASRS : R55 You’re on a farm - it’s always clean, but don’t expect anything too fancy. Relax, grab a drink and enjoy the Karoo sunset. ALL OUR ROOMS HAVE AIRCON EXCEPT THE TWIN ROOM WITH 2 SINGLE BEDS: FAN PRICE IS FOR ROOM ONLY!!! *WiFi is only available in the shared guest lounge.
