The Hub & Spokes of the Karoo Art Hotel

Announcing an expansive new idea. If the hotel is the hub what are the spokes that surround us ?

Living the dream

Along with our GM Wayne plus other co conspirators Sue and I are setting about detailing all of the glorious spokes that make the Karoo Art such a great hub for cyclists, motor bikers and the drivers of the wonderful array of cars both modern and classic that grace our parking lot.

Reveling in the passes

One only has to view the list of extraordinary mountain passes that surround us to realise why Route 62 was nominated in a CNN survey as one of the worlds best road trip routes.

Rides of note

The motorbike and in particular the dual purpose bike aspect of Hub & Spokes is close to my heart because it was due to an overnight stay on a return from a Tankwa Karoo bike trip that we discovered the hotel in the first place. That gang sitting on the rocks over looking Katbakkies pass is the one I rode with on that journey.
