Check-in is from 12:00 AM. Check-out is by 12:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Karoo Mountain River House allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Does Karoo Mountain River House have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Karoo Mountain River House have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
