| It is hard to imagine the cool, green oasis that awaits you when you arrive at Buiten Verwagten Guest House and Health Hydro after a long journey through the hot, dry, rugged, beautiful Karoo. A warm welcome by manager Elmarie and her staff, as well as the well-appointed, carefully decorated accommodation, will guarantee your stay is 'beyond expectation'.
Unlike many traditional Graaff-Reinet residences, Buiten Verwagten is set back from the street which increases its imposing splendour. To add to its glory, the second oldest vineyard in town grows prolifically in this garden (the oldest is at Reinet House, the museum).
Take time out to experience the serenity of the formal garden that owner Carol-ann has designed. Relax next to one of the pools, work out in the well equipped gym, or indulge yourself and let Angela or Courtney pamper your stresses away with aromatic oils and gentle hands.
For those who need a good dose of shopping therapy, visit Carol-ann's latest venture Windmill Junction & Restaurant. It's everything you'd expect a country store to be, selling everything from antiques to shabby chic. A smorgasbord of delight!
