No tour of the Eastern Cape would be complete without a visit to the “Great Karoo” and the town of Graaff-Reinet. Steeped in the nation’s history, this picturesque settlement once gave shelter to the early Voortrekkers and is well-known for its many fine examples of Cape Dutch architecture. Today, many of their owners have now forsaken the traditional woven rugs and yellowwood floors in favour of modern wall-to-wall carpets and laminate flooring.

To the inhabitants of this part of South Africa, décor has always been important and in addition to the architectural efforts of the settlers, the area is equally famed for its numerous examples of rock art executed to perfection by the Koi San people; the diminutive Bushmen that once inhabited much of it. For the would-be Indiana Jones, the surrounding area is rich in prehistoric fossils and attracts many visitors keen to search for them.

Despite the obvious signs of the town’s history, the weavers and carpenters of old have, inevitably, been replaced by more modern industries and retail outlets. One of the most successful among the latter, Top Carpets and Floors has since become the first choice of local home and business owners in search of quality floorcoverings.

Much of the reason for the mass transition to more modern options lies in the rising price of hand-woven products and natural timber but the excellent durability and ease of maintenance of these manufactured products has, almost certainly, been just as instrumental in motivating the move.

In particular, the multi-layered, composite products that serve as a substitute for the more costly wooden planks, offer a combination of economy and toughness with elegance and easy-care that makes them a worthy competitor for the traditional alternative. The incorporation of synthetics such as nylon and polyester fibres, along with natural wool has led to blended fabrics that have the potential to last a lifetime while remaining affordable to most.

Top Carpets & Floors offers the consumers of Graaff-Reinet a viable alternative to traditional floorcoverings with its extensive range of carpets and laminate flooring.

With our self-catering accommodation in Graaff Reinet, we try our hardest to banish from your mind the things you may be reminded of when you hear the term “self-catering”.  Yes, we realise that you may have been disappointed in the past with self-catering claims of what turned out to be hardly more than a tea and coffee nook, but once you have seen what we mean by self-catering, you will realise that this is the real deal.

Genuinely Self-catering

When you stay at our self-catering accommodation in Graaff Reinet, you will have a proper, fully-equipped kitchenette at your disposal where you can do far more than just make tea and coffee.  Standard in the self-catering kitchenette of each of our luxury units are included:

• a two-plate stove

Saving Money

We realise that people looking for proper self-catering accommodation in Graaff Reinet are often family-minded types who wish to be able to cook proper meals and not eat out every evening.  Eating too much fast food is unhealthy and it costs a bundle, so families often opt for the self-catering solution to achieve a sound balance even when on holiday.  It also leaves more money in the budget available to spend on the rest of your vacation.

Luxury Accommodation

Besides the self-catering bit, the rest of our accommodation is extremely agreeable as well, and while we offer a choice of luxury units, from a honeymoon suite and twin room to a four-sleeper and six-sleeper unit, all have in common certain amenities.  These include private entrances, safe parking, air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, DStv and a dining table and chairs.  Everything combines to give you the finest self-catering accommodation in Graaff Reinet.

Graaff Reinet is the oldest town in the Eastern Cape and as such, it offers many historically and culturally significant attractions, among which are the 200-plus old buildings in town with National Monument status.  One example is Urquhart House, which may have been built as long ago as 1806 and was once the home of Herbert Urquhart, the town’s longest-serving mayor of 21 years.

Reinet House and Old Library

Reinet House is also one of Graaff Reinet’s oldest buildings, dating back to 1812 and having the distinction of serving as the home of two famous reverends in the town’s history: both Andrew Murray and later his son, Charles.  The Old Library was built in the early 1800s and expanded in 1847, when it became the town library, a title it held until 1981, when a larger and more modern facility replaced it.  Today, many of the town’s artefacts can be seen in the Graaff Reinet Museum.

Natural Attractions

Graaff Reinet is situated in the Karoo Heartland that also comprises towns such as Murraysburg, Steytlerville, Cradock and Wolwefontein.  This is the Great Karoo, or “Place of Thirst”, but the town is an oasis in this harshly beautiful landscape, thanks to the Nqweba Dam just outside town, which also falls within the boundaries of the Camdeboo National Park.  The Camdeboo is home to:

• 336 plant species
• over 220 bird species
• 43 mammal species
• five frog species
• nineteen lizard species
• five tortoise species
• ten snake species
