PLEASE visit "The Story" in Tarkastad for awesome coffee, light meals, and nik-nacks to purchase, all profits go to a good cause, changing every month. The food is great, the staff are very attentive, and you will be made to feel very welcome and "at home"!

We enjoyed the colonial look and feel of Tarkastad. It's a typical little Karoo town, with amazing scenery.
