Climate and topography

When most of the low lying Karoo plains are baking hot, the mountain air is cool and refreshing. Temperatures hardly ever rise above 34 degrees, and the nights cool off, ensuring a good night’s rest. In winter temperatures can drop to -8 during the night, but with the warm Karoo sun, one can have lunch outside in temperatures between 12 and 20 degrees.
