Homestays in Oudtshoorn

Fantastic hosts, location and food.

Excellent guest house with very pleasant and available hosts

Beautifully decorated rooms with attention to detail. Lovely touch having some complementary Port in the room. Plenty of choice for Breakfast and cooked extremely well. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent. Lovely having Ostriches in the grounds. 10-15 drive to Oudsthoon.

My stay at Bakenskraal Ostrich Palace was nothing short of extraordinary and will remain on my top list of memorable travel experiences. From the moment we arrived, the place felt truly special, with a unique character and atmosphere that immediately made us feel welcome. The accommodation is outstanding in every sense. The rooms are beautifully appointed, exceptionally comfortable, and finished to a very high standard. The house itself has an undeniable magic about it, full of history, charm, and warmth that makes you feel instantly at home. What truly sets Bakenskraal apart is the exceptional service. The staff went far beyond what was expected, going out of their way to accommodate us with a braai, even making roosterkoek for us, and ensuring that every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. Breakfast was equally exceptional and beautifully prepared, generous, and clearly made with love and genuine care. The entire experience made me fall in love with the Karoo. Bakenskraal Ostrich Palace is a rare gem that leaves you with warm, lasting memories, and I will most definitely return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a truly memorable and heartfelt Karoo escape.

The location was perfect, within reach of everything we needed, shops, restaurants within walking distance. The room was superb, clean and comfy.

The service was impeccable and the food and ambience was more than I expected... especially considering I never planned to book here. The manager on duty helped me with accomodations after my previous accomodations left me stranded Not only did they rescue us, it felt like home

The greeting at reception was warm and friendly. . We were shown to our rooms which were spacious, airy and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent everything you could possibly ask for continental and full cooked breakfast. Overall impression of the hotel is excellent and great value for money.

Everything was even beautifuler than shown on the pictures. Errol and Venita are very fine hosts with attention to the guests. Beautiful conversations. Our room was even beyond. Nice pool, beautiful garden, private parking, good and compleet breakfast. If we vist oudtshoorn some time again without no doubt we will stay with Errol and Venita. We forgot one of our bags. Errol brought it up to us on our route through the Swartberg pas. That was more than we could wish from them.

Everything was great. Clean rooms and friendly staff.

The hosts are super friendly and take care of everything. The rooms are clean and nice. The pool is a nice way to cool off on hot days. They also help with planning activities or recommending restaurant. We can highly recommend a booking at 88 Baron.

Super room, well decorated. Breakfast is abundant and super friendly staff.

A hidden gem! Lovely host and great home for a few nights. We did a meerkat tour too and as we did it on a cloudy and cold day we were quite late for breakfast, but that was no problem at all. Highly recommended!

It was an exceptional stay at the Gumtree Guest House, and Gerry was the perfect host. I felt very welcomed! The house, terrace, and pool are well maintained, and it's all sparkling clean; complimentary coffee and tea in the room are also a big plus. But above all is the host: Gerry is a fun guy, very friendly, offers help with everything AND he is a great cook. I usually do not do breakfast, but I was so happy that I went: it was delicious food, and we had a good talk and laugh, and I went with loads of recommendations. Definitely recommended!

Felt like home. Loved the hosts, the place and the stay.

Great place to stay for overnight or a number of days!

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautiful and quite spacious. We were very impressed by the 5 star breakfast we received. It was the perfect way to end our holiday. The place is truly a hidden gem. Thank you.

The location was very close to all places we needed to be. The room was very spacious and clean. i loved the old world feel of the whole place.

100/10! This stay was absolutely perfect. The room is stunning. the bathroom in particular is a highlight. Everything was sparkling clean without a single speck of dust in sight. You can really tell the host prioritizes quality, from the premium mattress and pillows to the cozy blankets; I had such a restful sleep! ​The location is both lovely and safe; my partner even felt comfortable going for a jog around the neighborhood. Having a secure car park was a huge bonus and very convenient. On top of all that, the host is incredibly kind and welcoming. I truly loved my stay!
