About us

Karoo hospitality, right on the N1.

Karoo Padstal sits on Farm Kantfontein beside the N1 near Richmond, in an old farmhouse with wide views over the Karoo.

Inside you'll find a deli counter, a farm shop full of local crafts, gifts and Karoo treats, and a lounge with big windows looking out over the veld.

Outside there's a garden full of poppies, shady seating under the pergola and plenty of space for the dogs. Fresh air, clean toilets and a warm welcome from our team.

The perfect stop on a long drive between Cape Town and Johannesburg. The lamb curry was absolutely delicious and comforting, and the roosterkoek was fresh and soft.

Lovely staff. The best place to stop between Jozi and Cape Town. Coffee is very good. We always stop for lamb pies and amazing farm-shop goodies.
