Another great visit - Frikkke the dog needs to go though
Dec 2023 • Couples
A stop that never disappoints. However... Karusa is not Pet Friendly, but one of the owers black dog, Frikkke runs around. Some couples with small children were stressed out and kids stayed in ther pram because parents were worried about dog.

Nice setting and huge variety of different wines to taste for a small wine farm.
We tasted three flights of 5 ranges.
I really enjoyed the sweet dessert wines.
Very nice local activity to do.
They have a restaurant on site as well.

Klein Karoo Gem
Feb 2023 • Couples
A true hidden gem in Oudtshoorn, the bike ride from George to the venue was lovely and a great way to explore the Klein Karoo. The menu was fantastic and we especially enjoyed the delicious chicken wrap with a fresh side salad. The pizzas had a mouth-watering aroma and the local Sauvignon Blanc was the perfect refreshment on a hot day. The venue was well-maintained and offered ample parking, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal.
And not to forget, the venue also had a charming little gift shop, adding to the overall wonderful experience. This is definitely a must-visit spot for anyone in the area!

Beer About
Jan 2023 • Friends
We enjoyed the outside seating and lovely views. Service was good and platters filling but perhaps lacking a bit of imagination. The beers are fantastic and wine delicious. Left with some liquid take aways:)

Fantastic!
May 2022
As a family we visited Karusa and what a pleasant experience. Friendly welcoming staff, the freshest most delicious food - not even starting with the wine that is beyond amazing. A Play Area for the little ones, a big grass area for having a picnic. Definitely the Place to be when visiting Oudtshoorn.

Afternoon lunch at Karusa
Jul 2022 • Family
Enjoyed pizzas, cappuccino and Karusa's signature sparkling grape juice.

The food was amazing, the variety of toppings on the pizza was great and perfectly cooked.

The staff were extremely friendly, patient and helpful throughout our visit.

The view was breath taking and the atmosphere was peaceful.

Would definitely go again and 100% recommend.
