This gracious 1853 historical gem is one of the oldest buildings in Oudtshoorn. Nestled in the heart of the town, you are welcomed into our home with its wooden floors and high ceilings, reminders of a bygone era. With so many tourist attractions in the area, the pool in the beautiful back garden offers a welcome escape.
We are french and enchanted by South Africa. Since March 2026, we have shared our charming old house and homemade breakfast with guests.
The peace and quiet of the back garden makes you forget you are in a town! We are walking distance from the best day- and evening restaurants in town.
