Karoo Werf Gastehuis is situated in the historical town of Cradock, a serene but typical Karoo farming town lying on the banks of the Great Fish River. The guest house offers six fully equipped flats, four double bedrooms en-suite with kitchenettes, and a separate self-catering garden cottage. The original part of town is graced with some of the finest buildings, including the Dutch Reformed Church, which is a national monument designed to resemble London's St Martin's-in-the-field, and the Olive Shreiner House Museum, which is devoted to the authoress's life and works.
The town's streets are lined with Ilex Oak Trees, particularly on Dundas Street, where they have been declared a national monument. Other notable attractions include the Old Water Mill, which is completely restored, and the Great Fish River Museum, housed in the converted second Dutch Reformed Church, conveying what it was like to live as a settler after 1806 during the second British occupation of the Cape.
