ABOUT US

The Casa Cara group of guest houses and lodge is a family-operated business. It was started by Melissa de Bruin in 2012 as a small guesthouse in Parys and has since expanded to include another guest house on the bank of the Vaal Dam and as of 2017 a lodge on the banks of the Vaal River was added to the stable of products.

Because the guesthouses and lodge are owner-operated, no stone is left untouched to ensure guests receive the best possible personal service at affordable rates.

In short, the operation entails:

Casa Cara Guesthouse
