Conservation: At Starry Starry Night Route 62 eco lodge please help us keep the reserve pristine by taking all rubbish and “foreign matter” with you, including wrappers and fruit peels/cores. Anything and everything you take into the reserve with you when going on hikes and exploration must come out again.

Pools: Starry Starry Night Route 62 has unfenced pools. Guests and their children use these pools strictly at their own risk, and young children, whether swimming or not must, therefore, be supervised by at least one suitably capable adult at all times..

Hot tub / KolKol: Overlooking the striking Little Karoo valley at Starry Starry Night Route 62 with views that stretch waaaaay into the distance, a soak in our wood-fired KolKol hot tub is a hugely popular experience. Please reserve beforehand at the fee quoted when booking (which includes wood and cleaning before/after). You will have exclusive use of the pool area for the whole evening of your booking. Because of the high risk of fire (and to ensure you have the best experience), only trained Starry Starry Night staff are allowed to prepare the KolKol.

Dogs: Starry Starry Night Route 62 welcomes well-behaved and socialised dogs according to these guidelines: Maximum 1 dog per cottage in Gaia StarDome and Luna Mountain Cottage Maximum 2 dogs when staying in GaiaStarDome+ (Gaia + Luna)

Maximum 2 dogs when staying in Nova StarDome

At Starry Starry Night Route 62 eco lodge dogs must be:

Socialised and controllable. We have our own dogs on our property and, though we have fences around our property, there is a good chance the dogs will meet each other along the way.

Any dog poo around the homestead area and on any trails must be bagged and removed.

Under no circumstances must dogs interfere with local wildlife and chase or kill other animals or birds. Dogs are not allowed to swim in the pools or climb onto or lie on couches and beds. Please help us keep our gorgeous 100% pure cotton sheets bright and white.

Strictly no dogs or pets are allowed at Starry Starry Night Cape Town.

Access road: You do not need a 4x4 to access Starry Starry Night Route 62. Our access road is via a 2km long access road that consists of a combination of gravel and concrete sections. We are continuously improving the road surface, and while it is certainly no highway, our guests have had no problem reaching us even with super compact cars like VW up! and compact cars like Ford Fiesta, but it is not suitable for very low-slung sports cars. Just take it slow, and enjoy the adventure of travelling to this beautifully remote corner.

Linen: At Starry Starry Night Route 62 eco lodge our reserve runs cleanly on solar energy, which means we cannot iron bed linen. Linen may be lightly creased, but rest assure they are perfectly clean and fresh as the bergwind. If you would really like us to iron your sheets, let us know and we will make arrangements.

Appliances: At Starry Starry Night Route 62 eco lodge all energy to the cottages are provided through solar panels that are strong enough to power the lights, a fridge/freezer and to charge appliances like mobile phones and laptops. It cannot power heavy energy consuming devices like microwaves, toasters, and hairdryers etc. Using such devices in the cottages will cause irreparable harm to the system and be kindly ask guests to avoid using such devices and appliances. Please let us know if we can help plan your trip.

Smoking: No smoking is allowed inside any cottages or inside the Starry Starry Night Cape Town house. Please use the designated smoking area outside your cottage/house on the deck, or at the braai area. The only place you are allowed to smoke is on the deck outside the cottages or at the fire-pit area. Starry Starry Night Route 62 is a smoke-free reserve as we are located in a very high fire-risk area, and must do everything we can to prevent the start of a fire. Thank you for your understanding.

Fires: The Starry Starry Night Route 62 reserve is located in an area with extremely high fire risk. All guests must take care when making fires or braai (bbq) - especially during the dry and windy summer months. If you notice a fire please alert the owners immediately, or call the local police (10111). Do not leave any fires unattended.

Drones: If you wish to fly your drone anywhere on the reserve this first needs to be approved by the owners. Once approved drone flying must be done in a way that respects the privacy and tranquillity of guests in the other cottages. At no time should you fly over or anywhere near any cottages other than your own, pool/KolKol area while it is being used by other guests or infringe on the privacy and tranquillity of other guests. If we receive complaints or observe continued misbehaviour in this respect, we reserve the right to insist that drone use cease immediately.

Parties and noise disturbance: Our guests come to Starry Starry Night Route 62 and Cape Town to experience tranquillity and peace. We kindly ask you to please not play loud music or disturb the peace or your neighbours in any way.
