Children of all ages are welcome at Drostdy Hotel. Set in the heart of historic Graaff-Reinet, the hotel offers families a relaxed and stylish space to slow down, reconnect and enjoy time together – all within a setting that balances heritage character with modern comfort.

Whether you’re travelling with little ones or older children, Drostdy provides a calm and welcoming base from which to explore the Karoo’s wide-open landscapes and rich cultural history.

Accommodation for Families

Our spacious rooms and suites are well suited to family stays, offering flexible configurations and generous proportions that allow everyone to feel at ease.

Children under the age of 12 stay on a complimentary basis when sharing a room with two adults. Infants are accommodated in a cot (one per room), subject to availability, while older children are accommodated on floor mattresses, with a maximum of two children per room.

For families requiring additional space, inter-leading and adjoining rooms are available on request and subject to availability. Should there be more than two children, they can be comfortably accommodated in an adjoining or inter-leading room, booked at a single occupancy rate.

Children aged 12 years and older are considered adults and should be booked into an additional room at the full room rate.
