Where does the name Kareebloem Guesthouse come from?
Inspired by the majestic Karee tree the name Kareebloem refers to the small flower that seasonally decorates this quick growing evergreen tree. It is known for its shade giving properties and luscious foliage which attracts various insects and indigenous bird life from far and wide.
The berries produced by its flowers is used by the Khoi people. (some of the earliest inhabitants of Southern Africa) to brew a kind of honey beer which they subsequently call “Karee”. For the traveler the Karee tree symbolizes food and a resting place for the weary traveler and so too the Kareebloem guest house. Do not feel ashamed when you find yourself wanting to stay longer …
