Starry Nights Karoo Cottages

26, Tobie Muller Street, Philippolis, South Africa
Philippolis is on the old national road, R717, between Colesberg and Trompsburg. It is an ideal stop over, 630km from Johannesburg, 800 km from Cape Town, 470 km from PE. The deviation off the N1 highway (from Colesberg to Trompsburg) is in fact 7km shorter than the actual N1 (and without trucks) . It is also a lovely village for those who want to escape from the city for a few days. Enjoy silence, closeness to nature, stargazing, bird watching, no traffic, old fashioned tranquility and friendliness...

Really loved our one night stay in this beautiful heritage Karoo cottage. Clean and cool on the road within walking distance of the restaurant. A braai in the backyard would be nice. Nice honesty bar...

Built in 1860, a 2 roomed house with bare amenities, no tv & the most uncomfortable couch I've ever sat on. No aircon but a great fan served its purpose. No pool & parking is either on the quiet...
