New Holme Nature Lodge is a highly recommended Hanover hotel providing accommodation in 12 guest rooms for anyone visiting the Upper Karoo region.

About New Holme Nature Lodge

The New Holme Karoo guesthouse is situated on the banks of the Seekoei River to the north end of the Karoo Gariep Conservancy. We strive to accommodate our guests as close to home comfort as possible. It is not a tight hotel atmosphere but a very easy and relaxed home like stay.

Accommodation

The guesthouse sleeps only 34 guests in 12 bedrooms and this makes close and personal attention possible. The rooms are all en-suite, decorated and equipped with bar fridges, electric blankets, air conditioning and with tea and coffee facilities.

In mid summer the pool comes to a necessary rescue and is a time consuming activity for the children.

Dining

Marisca is known for her high standard cooking. We make use of the well known Karoo lamb and venison as the basis of our three course dinners. All meats are produced on the conservancy and are organic.

We only use of the best Cape wines which compliment the dishes. Home made bread and preserves are served. Most evenings you will sip wine around the braai fire with host P.C. as the bright sunset coullers make room for millions of stars.

On request we do an intimate “picnic braai” on the deck at the hippo pool, this is very informal and lamb chops are eaten off the braai by hand. A popular meal for honeymoon couples. This is a karoo experience.

Location

New Holme is 8 km of the N1 highway. The turn off is on the N1, 20 km North of Hanover and 50 km South of Colesberg.

Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Verified reviewexcellent

A hidden gem in the Northern Cape. Very nice rooms, superb food and friendly staff. One of the best place to see aardvark, aardwolf and other nightlife. For birders a real good place to see the LBJ's in the area and the waders in the dams!

We loved our short overnight stay. Wished it could have been longer. We missed the call for our meal selection ‘my fault’, but were more than adequately accommodated with delicious home made pies for dinner. We filled our cooler box with extra pies to take home ❤️ thank you kindly Marisca and PC for sharing your little gem
