Our Story
The name Rusoord, meaning "rest" and "resort," reflects our commitment to providing a peaceful escape. Growing up on the farm, we cherished the simple joys of life – swimming in the dam, hiking, and watching the sunrise and sunset over the vast landscapes. We've created a sanctuary where guests can experience the extraordinary in the ordinary and find reprieve in the Karoo's stillness and tranquility.
