Die Tuishuise
Die Tuishuise is an elegant collection of beautifully restored Victorian era craftsmen's houses in Cradock, the frontier town at the eastern edge of the Great Karoo. More than two dozen Tuishuise line Market Street up to the Victoria Manor, a grand old colonial hotel that welcomes you with hearty country fare, decor from the days of Cecil John Rhodes, Olive Schreiner and the droves of adventurers who passed here en route to the hinterland. Modern day over-landers crossing South Africa on holiday and business groups looking for inspiration stay at Die Tuishuise, where they are received like old friends and treated like gentry.
Die Tuishuise consist of 30 restored Karoo style cottages ideally located in
Market Street, Cradock. Die Tuishuise have been awarded the coveted "Simon van der Stel"
Gold Medal for restoration.
These unique houses have been restored to their former splendour, recreating the gracious
bygone era of the 1840's. Guests are afforded the rare opportunity to escape the present and
enjoy the historically rich surrounding, as well as the personalised service and amenities
required by today's discerning traveller.
