Set on a peaceful working farm along the iconic Route 62, halfway between Montagu and Barrydale, The Schoolhouse at Meulplaas offers two beautifully restored Karoo workers cottages surrounded by vineyards and the majestic Langeberg Mountains. Guests can relax by the swimming pool with sun loungers, or enjoy the outdoor kitchen and dining area, where a tea and coffee station, seasonal fruit, and an honesty bar are available. Each room combines rustic simplicity with natural textures, fine linen, and tranquil views — a true reflection of slow Karoo living. In the morning, wake up to a wholesome farm-to-table continental breakfast, made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and no processed foods. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful stopover on Route 62 or a romantic Karoo retreat, The Schoolhouse at Meulplaas offers authenticity, comfort, and connection with nature.

Welcome to The Schoolhouse at Meulplaas! My husband and I are passionate about sharing the beauty, calm, and authenticity of the Karoo with our guests.
