Karoux review
On our first evening at the Robertson Slow Festival, we were booked into Karoux. It’s on the main road in McGregor and we were staying in McGregor so it was a local option.

Brio review
Brio is in the old Riboville space and is owned by Lauren and Skippy who also own the Codfather in Camps Bay. It has a very different feel from Riboville. While Riboville was a large space with modern decor juxtapositioned against the old original wood paneling and marble walls, Brio embraces the old feel and…
