This old Karoo home, circa 1856, has been transformed into a small boutique-type accommodation centrally situated in Graaff-Reinet, the jewel of the Karoo. Our guesthouse, named Aa'Qtansisi, is derived from the authentic original Khoisan language, meaning "We welcome You". Old pertinent newspaper articles have been pasted on the wall which makes for interesting reading. The building was at one time was a seminary for ladies. Plenty of quiet nooks and crannies exist where one can find tranquility. While there, have a go at pronouncing Aa'Qtansisi!
