Another house is situated in Cradock Street, sometimes described as a “one mile and 230 years of history”, being full of historic houses, but close to the town’s museums and other facilities.

A further house and a garden cottage are situated in Cross Street, adjoining Parsonage Street, in the central historic area of Graaff-Reinet

We arrived in Graaff-Reinet on a Sunday last February without any reservation. Over coffee at Mad Hatters we found out about the Kothuize in the very same street. We moved into nr 6. Initially for three nights, but soon extended our stay to seven. Loved the house, the pool and the fine staff, loved Graaff-Reinet and hope to be back soon for a longer stay.

This little cottage was just what we wanted. Especially the attention to detail on the little things like wood and charcoal in the braai! The place was spotless and was so cute we loved it!
