Oudtshoorn hotels

Cons: It's close to the road, you will hear the traffic

Pros: Beautiful Lodge, well situated with a nice pool, excellent breakfast buffet and very friendly staff. Perfect family room as well!

Cons: The pool floor could do with painting. Pastries at breakfast need to be airtight as they were dry

Cons: Breakfast

Pros: Was a great stay very relaxing

Pros: The set up is beautiful and buildings & views Few lovely waiters and Safari game drive staff who were really lovely and went out their way for us

Cons: . The swimming pool is very small for the amount of guests they have - no shower and no bar service which you would think with 35 degree heat they make a killing if they had a bar over there. There are no mattresses on sun loungers uncomfy wooden chairs ! With the weather you get and gorgeous location you expect that to be a big selling point! Main reception staff 2 different ladies for check in and check out both very unwelcoming, cold and monitone - fill this out and that’s about it. When we checked out paid our bill no thank you have a lovely stay - rude & scruffy shame as they are front of house you need someone friendly. The breakfast was disappointing for how much we paid £250 breakfast dinner not much option at all fruit some dried up water melon ! We just came from a 4 star lodge in albertinia and paid same price for 2 safari drives included half board so much more on offer and lovely staff.

Pros: The room and service in the restaurant

Cons: The population off animals. We only saw the rhyno

Pros: Really great place to stay. You can walk around and enjoy the lovely views and also see the animals around the reserve. Great tours and lovely helpful staff.

Pros: Natural accommodation, nice staff. It was super nice to see all the animals running around mostly free in the huge areal.

Cons: More shadow at the pool would be great. Food at the restaurant was ok (we had a Venison Burger and the salad). The animals are quite loud during the night -->has to be expected at a game reserve:)

Pros: Everything was perfect. The tents are amazing and the pool overlooking the hippos was very special. Also, how close it is to George - yet feels so remote.

Pros: The ambiance of the place and friendly staff.

Cons: Nothing to complain about. Lived up to expectations.

Pros: Loved the glamping experience in luxury tent, bed comfortable, great outdoor shower!

Cons: Nothing, super organised and clean with an excellent safari tour.

Pros: Our accommodation was excellent and above our expectations, we enjoyed our late afternoon drive out and our guide was very informative on all animals seen and the surrounding area. The view from our tent(23) was excellent . On sight facilities were good we enjoyed both breakfast and dinner with a very good selection for both.

Cons: Shop had no food snacks.

Pros: The luxury tent from which, antilopes next to it, the giraffes passing by, while hippo’s were roaring in the water on the other side ... Game drive was amazing ! And the food and wine made it complete! Wonderful place to stay.

Pros: Pleasant garden with nice clean pool. Good situation with excellent restaurant nearby. Attentive hosts with excellent knowledge of attractions within 100 km+!

Cons: The ease of controlling shower temperature.

Pros: Best breakfast we had on our entire journey and super lovey hosts with lots of insider Tipps and voucher with short walks to excellent restaurants

Pros: Very friendly hosts, a Belgian couple.

Pros: Our hosts, Daniel and Sonja, went over and above with hospitality, local tips, homemade breakfast (best we've had in 2 weeks in South Africa). Our room and bed were exceedingly comfortable, we did not want to get up! Secure parking was an added bonus. The backyard and pool area is a stunning oasis and we enjoyed a mild evening outdoors sharing a wine or three and mutual travel stories with another couple and our hosts. If you come to Oudtshoorn, stay here.

Cons: Nothing. It was all fabulous.

Pros: Super nice accomodation in colonial style. Very beautiful interieur with love to details. The garden is perfect to relax (including a pool). The owners from Belgium are super friendly and helpful people. We really enjoyed staying there and felt almost like home. I highly recommend this place in Oudtshoorn and would always come back :)

Pros: The bed was big and had a firm mattress. Our hosts couldn't have been more helpful - drove us out to a restaurant and collected us so we could drink some wine. Wished we stayed for longer than one night. Don't be surprised by the location though as it's on the main road through town but it's peaceful at the back of the house. There's a large, well maintained pool area which was really calm and relaxing.

Pros: Breakfast is a South African feast.

Cons: Vary bad internet.

Pros: The nature breaking away into the peace quiet the animals surrounding the cabins. The staff soo friendly and open to help.

Cons: There is absolutely nothing that I did not like

Pros: We loved our stay at Old Mill. The bath in the tented accommodation was a highlight!

Pros: The Luxury tent was private, luxury and comfortable in nature

Pros: Mostly everything. Bunnies, horses, natural view points and supporting staff. Kids enjoyed a lot. We will visit again.

Cons: Wi-Fi is very slow and continuously interrupted.

Pros: Breakfast was very good, except it was cold by the time we came to breakfast. The tables were very tastefully laid with beautiful table cloths and napkins and not the dreaded paper napkins. Coffee and tea was still piping hot and good. Selection varied for the 2 days and certainly worth the price paid.

Cons: Keeping the food hot

Pros: It was a wonderful experience staying in the tented camp. The mattress and bedding was of good quality. I loved the bath and outdoor shower. everything was neat and clean, like staying in an B&B except it was a tent. Great sitting on the deck early morning watching the springboks coming right up to the deck.

Cons: I did not like leaving

Pros: We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view, cozy room, amazing food and fantastic service. Our waiter John went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed to have a lovely time. I highly recommend this place.

Pros: Everything and Andre really took good care of us! We will be back

Pros: Room spacious and comfortable. Great pool. Adequate breakfast.

Cons: Overall not good value for money. Poor selection of dishes at evening dinner, no cheese course. Choice of only two main courses and sweets.

Pros: It’s the best guest house we have stayed in so far. Views to die for; lovely large room (sea view room 7) great staff and delightful owner and a great breakfast to boot. What more could you ask for?

Cons: Everything

Pros: The pool Staff very helpful Great food

Cons: Spa was closed

Pros: Lovely big pool to swim lengths in. Spacious surroundings.

Cons: Dinner was expensive and limited in choice. Didn’t like adjoining door to upstairs room.

Pros: Thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay. Based on an ostrich farm the accommodation was excellent. We had spacious clean rooms and enjoyed swimming in the infinity pool that looked out over the farm. Food was delicious, also took advantage of the star gazing experience and a tour of the ostrich farm. Staff were very friendly especially our host/waiter John and our knowledgeable tour guide Ben who made this a special experience.

Pros: Nice pool, garden area. The staff were great. Enjoyed the AC and breakfast. Lots of amenities in the very large room. The location is OK, but you need a car to get anywhere. Most anything to see is a few minutes drive. We liked the parking space.

Cons: The bed was uncomfortable and could also do with an upgrade of bed linens. — the WiFi was spotty in our room.

Pros: Nice pool area, excellent breakfast, very friendly staff

Pros: What a lovely place! We really enjoyed our short visit at the Earthbound Guesthouse and we wish we could have stayed longer. The rooms and the garden is very cool decorated and the rooms are equipped with everything you need. The breakfast was amazing! Thank you for hosting us!

Pros: Super friendly staff that make you very welcome. All the little extras such as complimentary sherry, bath robes, hair dryer etc. etc.

Cons: We unfortunately had a noisy air conditioner that we had to switch off.

Pros: Fantastic Bed & Breakfast with everything you need. Great hosts, nice room, Good breakfast in lovely location.

Pros: Everything was wonderful! We enjoyed our room, swimming pool, breakfast and communication with the host.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: the staff are so welcoming and always smiling

Cons: none that i can remember. all is good.

Pros: A lovely warm welcome from Marie who makes you feel very at home. We were in room 7 which was large and nicely furnished in light colours and had a lovely en-suite bathroom with both a bath and separate shower and always plenty of hot water. Small out side seating area at our room door, but also a communal covered area where breakfasts are served but can be used by guests at any time fully equipped with crockery, cutlery and glassware. There is also an honesty fridge with beers, wine, soft drinks etc all very reasonably priced. Good choice at breakfast and all well prepared and presented. Each room has its own secure parking space. Small swimming pool with sun loungers for any lazy days, but unfortunately we did not have time to use this facility . We would definitely recommend especially as it is such good value.

Cons: All was perfect

Pros: The decor was amazing, the owner of the establishment also took the time to greet us and make us feel comfortable.

Cons: Personal preference, but the pillows were a little too soft.

Pros: An outstanding property - a working Olive Farm - in a great location. We enjoyed it immensely apart from our room which, while comfortable, had no window! It almost looked like they had converted barns by putting a corridor through the centre and then orienting everything onto the internal corridor. What would have been our external wall and window was then used as the bathroom window - complete with frosted glass. This all meant there was no patio or balcony for our room, which was very strange in such a sun blessed and spectacular landscape. We did enjoy our stay, though, and will visit again - next time, we’ll just know to insist on a room with a window and a patio!

Pros: The room was spacious ,clean comfortable. The food was very good .Breakfast was average but lunch and dinner were excellent

Cons: The service was a little erratic

Pros: Dinner was disappointing

Pros: Friendly staff, great location

Pros: Location

Cons: WiFi, pathetic

Pros: Loved everything about this amazing place, really can’t say much more except you are definitely in my top 10 and I’m looking forward to another visit...

Cons: Couldn’t swim in the inviting swimming pools (two) due a the much needed rain...

Pros: Location was good- about midway between oudtshoorn & the cango caves. Despite seeing photos online before booking, Everything about Surval exceeded our expectations. Rooms were big & comfy with fabulous bathrooms. Our room (Beldi) had lovely views which we could see from bed in the morning & also nice to sit outside on balcony. The grounds were bigger than expected with a nice walk around the waters edge, there’s obviously a longer route since a park run group started from here! The food was excellent- both evening meal & great choice of buffet breakfast all in really lovely surroundings. They’re obviously set up very well for weddings/ events as there are some great facilities for this. Staff also very friendly, would definitely stay again and my in-laws who we brought with us and live only a couple of hours drive away will definitely return & recommend to their friends

Cons: Nothing

Pros: It was a beautiful modern hotel, located in a stunning location

Cons: I loved it all

Pros: We had a wonderful stay and it is the 2nd time we are staying at De Zeekoe. The staff and management are truly an asset to this beautiful and classy Guesthouse.

Cons: There was absolutely nothing to not like about this beautiful place.

Pros: Beautiful big room Very nice staff Fresh bread for breakfast The meerkats tour was wonderful

Cons: This is just a personal preference but I wish there would have been just a la carte dinner, no buffet

Pros: Amazing service and property!

Pros: Fantastically friendly staff and very good restaurant. The evening meal was outstanding, and breakfast was very enjoyable.

Pros: Staff was very friendly! Allot of activities possible. Clean rooms, nice pool with view. Nice sunset.

Cons: Food was okay. Room was weird with allot of closets up to the ceiling.

Pros: We were upgraded to a fabulous room with a large balcony and huge, comfortable bed. Our second visit to De Zeekoe and it never fails to provide us with excellent food friendly and professional staff and off course the Meerkat experience!

Cons: Everything was superb

Pros: Brilliant value for money

Pros: They atmosphere was relaxed and the people were friendly helpful at all times

Cons: Nothing we didn't like

Pros: Good value for money and time. The hosts were very accommodative and the house met our every need. Perfect stay over in Oudtshoorn.

Cons: None

Pros: Very nice accommodation, friendly hosts

Cons: Breakfast really let them down and is definitely not worth the price

Pros: very nice place and very nice person. comfortable and quiet accommodation!

Pros: Lovely staff and beautiful place to stay! Everything was great about this place.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Super clean, the host was amazing. The place was very homey I enjoyed my stay

Pros: The whole stay was amazing and they were so accommodating. Had alot of recommendations at hand to help with the perfect holiday for kids n adults. They truly deserve to be 5 star

Pros: Within walking distance to all shops. Easy access to the main road that leads Cango caves,etc.

Cons: Nothing I did not like.

Pros: Good central location. Our room was really lovely and spotlessly clean. We did not eat at the hotel apart from breakfast, which was very good. We had help with our bags which was essential as access is via a staircase. The staff were great, very helpful and friendly.

Pros: location

Cons: a mean approach you have to pay 20 rands for having someone taking care of your luggages and 20 rands for a cappuccino

Cons: You need to install a hand rail at the steps of your swimming pool. It is difficult and potentially dangerous for older people to get in and out with no hand rail and quite a steep step.

Pros: The swimming pool was great to cool off in. The staff were very friendly. The bar fridge in the room was convenient.

Cons: The place and rooms seem to need a revamp. Very small pokey room. Thought it would be great to utilise their restaurant for dinner but they could only offer a set menu for over R300.

Pros: Very cozy quite place

Cons: Breakfast for vegetarians

Pros: Hi. The staff was very friendly.

Pros: New villas as they are called. Quiet area. Close to town.

Cons: No braai facilities outside the rooms - self catering

Pros: The quirky rooms are a fun novelty and really different from other hotels. The pool area was a lovely place to relax in and the staff were friendly, coming out to take drinks orders. Breakfast was really good and had plenty of options. Good value for money.

Cons: Dinner in the restaurant was a little disappointing - when the food arrived, it didn't match the description in the menu. The chicken burger had been marinated in soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, which wasn't a combination that really worked. The layout could be better, with more direct paths to the lodges and more slimline furniture in the room so they're more spacious.

Pros: Good location

Cons: Small rooms Pool not big enough for size of hotel and not enough sunbeds

Pros: Rooms layout and friendly staff

Cons: No bottled water in the room. A first time for me.

Pros: The location was excellent and the room was very clean and comfortable.

Cons: A very minor thing but you had to collect pool towels from reception and return them to reception afterwards. It was very quiet while we were there luckily as if the hotel was full the pool area would have been much too small. But I’d still certainly recommend it for a few nights.

Pros: The vibe and breakfast was very nice. I have like the pool area, Nice and clean. Also the pool is big enough to enjoy yourself, The rooms is clean and not to many items in the room. I really enjoyed my stay and will go there again

Cons: Can not complain about something. Even if the rooms is thatched roofs there is no spiders or any suprises in the room

Pros: The location and facilities are excellent. The staff are most helpful and made us feel most welcome. Breakfast pack was also excellent with thought out and tasteful contents. Thank you so very much.

Cons: Nothing... keep up the good work

Pros: It was well suiated for the visitor attractions

Cons: When we arrived we were told there would be a power outage between 8 and 10pm and were issued with battery operated lamp, no lights no aircon, this outage was planned, I feel the hotel should have contacted me and offered a full refund , so I could have arranged accommodation in a nearby town where the power issues weren’t effect. Worse was to follow with another power outage during the night, I was over 40 degrees yesterday so we were extremely hot and uncomfortable. When I tackled reception staff in the morning they were disinterested in my complaints, I felt a full refund should have be offered regardless of whether the issue was out of their control.

Pros: The whole setup of the accommodation. Clean and very spacious rooms. Close to a lot of the tourist attractions oudtshoorn has to offer.

Cons: Not much facilities besides the pool. Food was a bit over priced.

Pros: Everything, location, staff, food, the pool was amazing ! Room was very well equipped and pretty luxurious!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location was great. Staff really friendly.

Cons: Breakfast could be better and Oudshoorn was not the nicest place we've been to during our holiday.

Cons: The colony restaurant was always very good, but there has been a change of ownership and management and it has now gone down terribly, the quality of the food is no where near what it used to be.

Pros: Location good. Breakfast selection average. Evening restaurant excellent, & menu v/good. - food excellent.

Cons: Showers, wrong choice of shower trays & water supply (drain outlets of the trays could not cope with the water flow).

Pros: Old colonial style hotel. Spotless, friendly staff, centrally located. Setting like an english country garden....just beautiful. Will go again!

Pros: One of the nice place that I stayed in Oudtshoorn.

Pros: Colonial type building complex with stylish decorated rooms, thank goodness with powerful aircon. Excellent dining. Great breakfast in lush, green garden atmosphere. Cozy pool area. Their hotel staff is probably among the very best in South Africa

Cons: Nothing important really, though I'm missing a running machine in the gym.

Pros: Our suite was very spacious comfortable and privat with our own plunge pool. Great service and friendly staff

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Loved Rosenhof, a perfect little hotel. Rooms were in small cottages set around small garden area with shade and delightful water feature. Pool and Spa area were very comfortably furnished , and the main house being quite historical had comfortable and interesting rooms with some great guide books to the area and SA. Breakfasts and dinners were both excellent with a good variety of choice. Having the car washed down of dust over night was a really nice touch. It was extremely hot (40+) when we stayed but the rooms and hotel overall coped well.

Cons: No criticism of the hotel at all but for us It was too hot to sit outside for dinner , which was a shame because the setting was delightful. - Just have to go again one day.

Pros: We found this boutique hotel to be absolutely amazing. The excellent , amenities, service & friendly staff at this colonial style property made our stay perfect.

Pros: Lovely property and friendly staff, very good food, daily car wash. Wonderful gardens.

Cons: Very dark bathroom and bedroom. Needs some maintenance, replacing bulbs etc and upgrading from halogens to high brightness LED would be beneficial.

Pros: High quality, extremely well cleaned everyday. Wonderful staff especially Ileanor. Nothing, absolutely nothing was too much trouble. Oh and beware of the lovely cheeky barman, especially if you ask for gin! The dining facilities are excellent and the food prepared very good. We chose to stay in an executive suite which afforded us a private pool, it was bliss. If I had one teeny weeny criticism it would be the traffic noise from the road but do not let that stop you staying at this wonderful retreat.

Cons: Apart from very slight disturbance from some road traffic there is absolutely nothing to dislike.

Pros: Nice room with very pleasant views. Excellent hostess with nice breakfast in the morning.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Spacious, nicely furnished and clean rooms. Pretty garden with pool. Very friendly and helpful host.

Pros: Breakfast was amazing and the location is nice and peaceful.

Pros: Lovely terrasse with a lovely garden and beautiful view. The stuff was absolutely accommodating.

Pros: Phil and Linda run this beautiful place with all their hearts and a ton of greatly appreciated effort, the breakfast definitely by far was the best we had during our trip in the cape region, the beds are comfortable, the properties are very well maintained, the little "watch dog" is super adorable and the guys run a lovely little bar with a real nice selection of local beers, wines and spirits. What we liked best about our stay though was to get to meet the two of them, we will most likely be back someday to catch up!

Pros: The beds were comfy, the patio was nice, the fridge was filled with whatever you'd need (honesty bar) and free complemtary coffee was allso available. Aircon was working - and much needed. The room was a little dark - but that was because you need to keep the heat OUT of the room in Oudtshoorn... So I guess, that's how it is. Bath worked as it should. The pool was clean and nice and the garden was well kept. Parking was good and gated. The view was to the dry floodbed (green park when there's no water)- but that's fine - it's better than staring into a wall - and we had a great sunset. We slept well and it was nice and quiet, The breakfast was good and we were very satisfied. The host was very friendly and knows where to eat and it seems that he puts an honour to give you the best advise of what to see and do while in Oudtshoorn.

Cons: Toiletdoor was NOT soundproof... nope.. Not at all. It was a (not sure of the word is correct) tambour door.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful hosts. Cozy rooms. Good breakfast. The location is good. Nice restaurants within walking distance.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Hosts looked after us well

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Beautiful accommodation run by such friendly hosts, Phil and Linda, and the on site bar stocked with local beers and wines was a pleasant addition to our stay. Would definitely recommend a stay at The Gumtree to explore the local area

Pros: Absolutely everything. Phil and Linda were terrific hosts and very welcoming and friendly right from arrival. Personal service and attention all the way. Phil helped with restaurant bookings and Cango Cave booking and even offered to rescue us if we got stuck in the Seweweekspoort on the way to Matjiesfontein - that's what you call service! Great breakfast and lovely bar. This place is a GEM! Thank you Phil and Linda and Lulu the cat and Domino the dog for making our stay with you so good.

Cons: Absolutely nothing.
