About 4 Seasons Guest House
Welcome to the 4 Seasons Guest House in Loxton, a small, quaint Karoo arboreal village with many of its streets lined with cypresses, pear, pepper and beefwood trees. Today, Loxton is enjoying a revival; new residents are arriving here from various corners of South Africa and abroad, looking for a Karoo oasis filled with fresh air, tranquillity, vast plains to explore and awesome stargazing to be enjoyed.
The old Karoo-style buildings date back to the 1900s are being restored to their original beauty. Loxton is also home to some of South Africa’s leading authors and novelists.
The guest house offers accommodation in double en-suite bedrooms, as well as a separate self-catering cottage. Features include a large living room to unwind and watch DStv and a fully equipped dining room with tea and coffee-making facilities.
Escape the fast pace and experience the peace and healing silence of the arid great Karoo - explore the nostalgic villages of a bygone era. The Karoo’s clear, dark nights offer some of the best stargazing in the world. Corbel houses built from stacked rough-hewn stone, is an architectural heritage unique to this part of the Karoo. The Karoo is also one of the few, and best, places in the world where fossils are found, as well as rock art in caves from the first-known human inhabitants, the San Bushmen.
Attractions in the nearby area include Khoisan rock art engravings at Kafferskraal and Taaibosfontein, the Karoo National Park, various game farms, and visits to the nearby towns of Victoria West, Canavron and Pampoenpoort. There are also plenty of 4x4 trails, quad biking trails and mountain biking trails in the surrounding area.
