The tea garden and swimming pool at Ouwerf sit in the shade of an ancient Peppertree. Pretoria natives; Michael and Antoinette Müller, run the Karoo Kombuis Koffiewinkel and Ouwerf guesthouse, offering old-school Afrikaans hospitality. The charming rooms are appointed in an ode to South Africa’s traditional building materials; copper, steel, wood and cane. Each room’s en-suite features a claw-footed porcelain bathtub, perfect for soaking away the chilly winter evenings.
