Welcoming. Helpful. Room was exceptionally good. Dining was a wonderful experience.
The lounge with a fire each night was a great touch. Would love to return sometime.
Very reasonable price as well.
Lovely Manor House Hotel property set within its own grounds and beautiful gardens, only a few miles outside of Oudtshoorn. Lovely large bedroom and bathroom. Comfy bed, fluffy towels and toiletries with room service each day. Excellent breakfasts with good choice of healthy options and hot selection cooked fresh to order. The owner and staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

Das alte Landhaus ist wirklich alt und sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Die fünf Sterne sind nicht berechtig, es kommt eindeutig nicht an einen fünf Sterne Standard ran. Das Personal ist stark unterbesetzt, aber sehr zuvorkommend.
Wonderful. If you are coming to Outdshoorn this is the place to stay. We loved it. The building, the room, the staff and the food all First Class. Wish we had stayed longer. It is most definitely a place we will return to for a longer stay.When we arrived they showed us the smaller room we had booked and for a small supplement we upgraded to a lovely larger room.
