Cypress Cottage Guest house offers 4-star luxury accommodation in the heart of the “Great Karoo”.
These two charming cottages date back to the 1800s and combine authentic Karoo style and ambience with every modern comfort. Beautifully restored and furnished with antiques, they face each other across the shady quiet of one of the most picturesque streets of the town.
The Karoo restores the soul. The historic town of Graaf-Reinet reminds one of days gone by when horse and cart were the mode of rapid transport. Welcome!

Cypress Cottage Reviews
We loved our stay at Cypress Cottages. Hilary was a wonderful hostess. The cottage was quiet, clean, neat and perfect for our overnight stay. The kids had a wonderful time and fell in love with the resident boxer, Ammo. A highly recommended venue – thank you! – bridgettec00mbes
What a lovely Karoo cottage: neat, clean and tastefully decorated. Situated in a quite part of town for a good nights rest. The breakfast, prepared in your own cottage, was nice, although the lamb sausages were undercooked. Look no further, this is the place to stay in Graaff-Reinet. – Bydisee
Wonderful stay!! We will come again. Friendly snd helpful staff. Petsonal attention. Highly recommended! Beautiful setting near Sondagsrivier. Clean neat rooms with all the extras. Lovely gardens and pool. – marandavorster
