Hanover, a small town in the heart of the Karoo, is often referred to as the "town in the middle of South Africa" due to its central location, halfway between major cities like Johannesburg and Cape Town, as well as between Durban and Upington. In its prime, Hanover was a significant stop for travellers, with nearly all routes passing through the town.
The town has a rich history and was once home to the famous author and women's rights advocate, Olive Schreiner, who lived here with her husband from 1900 to 1907. Her typical Karoo cottage, with its iron roof and stoep, is now a national monument on the corner of Grace and New Streets. Hanover retains the charm of a traditional Karoo town, with life moving at a slow, steady pace and little disruption, apart from the busy N1 highway that runs between the town and its cemetery.
Though small, Hanover is fascinating and has managed to preserve much of its 19th-century character, with well-preserved examples of historical architecture. For a different perspective, visitors can hike up Trappieskop, a hill just outside the town, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Despite its humble size, the area’s historical significance is marked by the original site of South Africa's first observatory, which was later relocated to Sutherland.

Absolutely amazing. What wonderful host is Liz, Informed me the moment my daughter and her K9 arrived. Gave her hot plate of food and warm bed. Best place ever to stay overnight or couple of days and the price is non comparable. Will for sure recommend them!!!
A real gem in the middle of the Karoo. The extra hour's drive to get to Karoo Uitsig was worth it, could not have asked for any better venue. I was super surprised and happy with the excellent service that I received. Highly recommended if you want to sleep over after a long day's drive…. The hospitality is out of this world. And my two doggies were welcome…. The fee is most affordable.
We were a big family group staying over, with 3 children under 5yrs, 2 dogs and 2 cats, arrived late and still had a warm welcome from the host. Everything we needed for tired travellers.
What a wonderful stay, Liz was the perfect host, will definitely stay here again.
Charming and Comfortable
A great place to. experience the Karoo
Historic yet rustic accommodation, all basic needs catered for. Very friendly hosts, Liz and John are lovely. Very accommodating with our very early morning departure. And they are pet friendly
Liz and John were very good hosts and made our very short stay at Karoo Uitsig very pleasant.
Wonderful host and accommodation!
An excellent overnight stay for a really reasonable price! My old dog and 2 cats were well received and electric blankets made for a warm snug sleep. Can strongly recommend - friendly hosts Alex and Louise ensured my needs were all catered for.
5 Star if you drive from Joburg. Clean and a big yard for the dogs to run around. Nice braai area. And a pool to cool of. It is actually a farm in town. Nice owners. nice place. And nice stars at night. Thank you. It was such a good stay.
