Bloemhof Karoo - Luxury, Authentic Farm Style Accommodation and Wedding Venue near Richmond in the Great Karoo, Northern Cape

BLOEMHOF KAROO is a historic home, once owned and loved by Professor Christiaan Barnard . The Homestead rests graciously in an oasis amongst kopjes on a working farm in the Malaria free, Northern Cape, Great Karoo. Located just 5km from the N1, 25km from Richmond, Bloemhof Karoo provides an accessible farm-style getaway for both one-night stops, and longer stays.

Bloemhof Karoo is very child friendly and a wonderful place for families with lots of space and freedom for children to run around in safety. Friendly farmyard animals love to be petted and fed and our Donkey Cart Rides are a highlight, with young and old alike! Child-minding can also be arranged while parents enjoy a contemplative walk or romantic dinner.
