About
De
Kothuize (Cot houses) are a collection of 3 lovingly-restored Cape Karoo houses
(four- and five-star) in this historic village. Each of the houses is a national monument. Each has been thoughtfully furnished in true historical character. And the result is quite magical.
The two
4-star properties are in Parsonage Street (Graaff-Reinet’s
most historic street, stretching from Reinet House at one end to the
Drostdy Hotel at the other). The 5-star house is situated in Cradock Street which is often described as “a mile of history” - and that's not hard to see why.
166 Cradock Street
This large and luxuriously-appointed, classic Karoo house offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one with shower; one with bath en-suite), separate sitting room and large dining room. There is a lovely large walled garden with a vine-covered patio where you can sit and enjoy views of the surrounding mountains.
16 Parsonage Street
This
Karoo cottage offers two bedrooms (one with an extra-length, king-size
double bed; one with two single beds, all four-posters), one
bathroom (with shower and bath), a fully-equipped kitchen and a
combined sitting room/dining room. A paved garden patio with table and chairs is a lovely place to sit and relax and enjoy the clean Karoo air.
This
cottage has some magnificent antique features:
yellow wood floors, beam and planked ceilings. A stay here will give you a taste of a glorious by-gone era.
18 Parsonage Street
Adjoining No. 16, this cottage also has two

This character-laden cottage is furnished with several antique items, including sets of antique prints.
