Perfect!!

We were welcomed warmly by Marta and Clarissa on arrival. The room was spacious, modern, comfortable with a double suitcase rack. Detail was second to none and nothing was too much trouble. They had a great recommendation for local food dinner. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Fantastic place.

This review is 4 months late (sorry) but rarely have I stayed at such a nice property with the most friendly and charming owners. They and their property were a total delight. Loved it. It was very comfortable and exceptionally priced. Great breakfast too. Couldn’t recommend more.

What an amazing stay. Perfect for a short stay to explore the surrounding area. The property is so lovely, hidden away behind a nice facade but what makes this place so great is the hosts - we did things we have never done were it not for your recommendations, thank you :)

We were pleasantly surprised to find that our last minute booking in Oudtshoorn was one of our best stays during our Christmas trip. The hosts were exceptional in their professionalism and personal attention to us. They were very knowledgeable about the areas “must do’s” and eating establishments and even took the time to book some of these on our behalf. Breakfast was a relaxing affair with something for everyone and both a hot and cold breakfast available with the calm sounds of the birds and gentle music in the background. The accommodation is comfortable with the air conditioning being a welcome addition to each room. The owners are gracious and their welcoming demeanor added volumes to the richness of our experience of Oudtshoorn. Thank you for a memorable stay!
