We stayed in a self- catering lodge which was equipped with all that you would need to cook for yourself. We ate out at Anny’s Bistro, which was recommended by our host, Albert. The lodge was large and came with an open fireplace as well as a lovely deck with comfortable seating. A real find and great value.

Kleines charmantes altes Haus mit herrlicher Terrasse und kleinem Pool. Liebevoll bewirtschaftet, herzliche Gastgeber welche sich sehr um Ihre Gäste bemühen. Grandioses Frühstück und eine sehr gut ausgestattete Bar (Selbstbedienung zu sehr fairen Preisen) Wir sind der Meinung, das Zimmer und Service es mit internationalen Grandhotels aufnehmen kann. Jedoch hier mit der Liebe eines Privathoteliers. Wir kommen wieder...

A heritage property that has been lovingly decorated to a very high standard with excellent attention to detail. There is a beautiful deck attatched to the property which provides shady outdoor seating and lounging space along with a small pool for cooling off. Breakfast was great and we particularly enjoyed all the little extras provided during our stay such as a fully stocked honesty bar, sherry in the room, fresh water and chocholates at bed time and a free car washing service!! If you are looking for a luxury guest house experience in Oudtstroon then this is your place!
