ABOUT US
Our energetic team’s passion is the number one element about us that makes Dennehof Karoo Guesthouse the success it is. Immaculate rooms, manicured gardens, exceptional and friendly service, and delicious meals would not be possible if it weren’t for our dedicated staff.
~ History ~
Dennehof Karoo Guesthouse was originally built as a two-roomed farmhouse to mark the marriage of the granddaughter of Zacharias de Beer who, together with his wife Dina, were the first settlers of Prince Albert on the farm Kweekvallei.
The homestead grew, together with the family, accommodating an inside kitchen, living room and several bedrooms which are all encompassed by the long veranda that lends Dennehof Karoo Guesthouse its aura of stately elegance today.
~ 4 Star Rating ~
Declared a national monument in 1997, Dennehof Karoo Guesthouse was the first guest house in Prince Albert to be accredited by the South African tourism authorities and has since been awarded four stars by the tourism grading council. Skilful restoration over the last few decades has ensured that Dennehof Karoo Guesthouse can still be enjoyed in her full glory by generations to come.
~ Individually Styled ~
There are eight beautiful en suite bedrooms to choose from, all lovingly decorated to conjure up feelings of a bygone era whilst carefully balancing modern day comforts and luxuries.
~ Leisure ~
The old farm reservoir serves as a salt-water pool, replete with a raised deck from which to bask in the warm Karoo sun while taking in the backdrop of the old windmill, olive groves and towering Swartberg mountains.
For cooler winter days, Dennehof Karoo Guesthouse offers a sauna for two, the pool being just a short leap away for those brave enough to face the thrill of the chill.
~ Dining ~
The glass conservatory and shaded wooden decks tucked away within the magnificent gardens are the ideal setting to enjoy meals and drinks, no matter the season.

Surpass your greatest expectations!
The true Jewel of the Karoo.
I have to restrain myself from too many adjectives in describing our stay at Dennehof Karoo Guesthouse. The warm welcome, amazing setting, outstanding breakfast, professional staff and our
most delightful Forge room and bathroom, will be remembered for years to come!
Thank you Albert, Inga and your team for a memorable stay.
See you all soon!

One of the best short stays we have ever experienced
Warm friendly welcoming hosts who contacted us with advice prior to our arrival. Lovely room with full en-suite. Bed was very comfortable and the decor matched the overall warm welcoming experience. Incredible attention to every detail. Breakfast served in the greenhouse surrounded by birdlife was magical. We would recommend visiting Prince Albert just to experience Dennehof.

Little piece of heaven in the Karoo
Mine was a first-time visit, an overnight stay on a road trip between Johannesburg and Cape Town. The hosts were charming and Dennehof is glorious. Thank you for recommendations regarding walks and dinner restaurants, all of which worked wonderfully.
