STUURMANSFONTEIN
Stuurmansfontein Corbelled House offers pet-friendly self-catering accommodation in a unique national monument, located 57 km outside Carnarvon in the Karoo. These corbelled houses are rare national monuments, unique to only three districts in the Northern Cape, South Africa. If you seek a remote South African spot steeped in frontier history, consider a stay in these historic homes. The house is off-grid, accessible via a dirt road, and nestled amidst expansive Karoo landscapes within a 2000h grazing camp.
The house features three bedrooms, a bathroom with a bath and an outdoor shower, a kitchen, and a combined lounge and dining area. Two bedrooms offer double beds, while the third bedroom has two single beds. The kitchen is equipped with a gas fridge, stove, and basic cutlery and crockery, along with braai facilities for outdoor cooking.
Prepare for an off-grid experience at the corbelled house, where modern amenities like electricity, mobile phone reception, and Wi-Fi are not available. Embrace the vast Karoo landscape, devoid of city distractions, offering serene starlit nights for stargazing. Illuminate your evenings with the warm glow of candles and gas lamps, adding to the rustic charm of your stay. There is a radio for emergencies.
While the house is set up for self-catering, you have the option to indulge in a Karoo picnic experience. For R250 per person, treat yourself to local lamb chops and traditional braai delights. The host may also offer fresh eggs and garden vegetables, depending on availability and the season.
PET POLICY
Stuurmansfontein welcomes up to 6 dogs of any breed or size per booking. Dogs must have their own bedding and are asked to stay off furniture. While the house is not fenced individually, it sits within a 200-hectare grazing camp, ensuring privacy. There are ample walking areas, including riverbeds with seasonal swimming spots. Dogs and humans can also swim in the nearby dam, and dogs are free to roam without leashes.
