"Very nice accommodation, we had a really big room with a bathtub. The guest house is roughly 5 min away from the main road, the road to the guest house is not the best but you can drive it with a normal car. A restaurant is near by the guesthouse."

Upon arrival, hotel did not have our booking information as Hotel.com did not inform hotel about our reservation. Very poorly from Hotel.com
Had to show my invoice for reception that Accomodation was paid directly to Hotel.com
We got the Queens Residence and it was quite spacious and big, both rooms with own en-suite.

A gem of a guesthouse. All the staff were so lovely, helpful, cheerful and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The room and bathroom were both spacious, spotless and felt luxurious. Breakfast was fantastic, delicious and generous. Thank you to everyone

Occasionally whilst on your travels you stumble upon somewhere you really feel at home ... this is how it was when we stayed at 88 Baron van Reede.
The accommodation was just perfect, comfortable and relaxing. Huw and Zoe, gave us a very warm welcome and spent quite some time, advising on local attractions and restaraunts to visit, even providing discount vouchers for some of them!
Zoe's assortment of home made cakes, pastries and jams, were also a lovely touch, and the breakfast selection...

Very peaceful and beautiful place to stay. Easy access to Cango Caves and Meerkat experience. Friendly staff. Lovely breakfast. Welcome drink and warm welcome on arrival.
The only minor issue we had was that we noticed quite a few ants in our bedroom in the morning.
We would still recommend this place to others.

From the welcome we received to the farewell the level of personal service we received from the owners Albert and Elsa were unparalleled.
Very tastefully decorated, spotless and in a beautiful location overlooking the river. We only stayed one night but will definitely return and stay longer. Loved our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Plume. The room was immaculate, spacious and had an outside sitting area. The rooms and dining room offer an old-worldly elegance. The food was delicious and the staff exceptional.

A lovely 3-night stay at this homely, rustic-style guest house. With a warm, friendly greeting we felt right at home from the start.
In a very convenient, easily walkable, yet quiet location right in the centre of Oudtshoorn, with a delightful garden and pool area and safe on-site parking, this guesthouse is a gem.

This is a great place to stay and use as a base for exploring the area. We had two double rooms and each room was fab. We had everything we needed and the breakfast was lovely. The owners and staff were fab and friendly. Plus pointed us in the direction of local restaurants and places to see and took time to book us on a Canvo Cave tour. As for the garden and pool area I just wanted to spend more time sitting next to the pool and explore the garden. We will be back to visit ☺

Our host Hermein was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble.
The rooms were beautiful and spotlessly clean.
The breakfast was everything you could have wanted. I had the fruit with granola and yogurt. Followed by loads of toast and a cooked breakfast with the tastiest smoked bacon I’ve ever tasted.
She organised a free taxi to and from a lovely local restaurant on the evening of our arrival.

Andre is a phenomenal manager, and Mooiplaas is our favourite place to stay in Oudtshoorn. All staff are helpful, kind and caring, brilliantly clean and beautiful rooms, highly recommended. Be sure to engage the astrologer Ben if the night sky is clear! Amazing, 5 stars! The Barkers will be back :)

We had a lovely stay at Altes Landhaus Country Lodge. From the moment we arrived, we received a very friendly welcome and were made to feel truly special. We were in town for the 5 Shy Meerkats tour, which we would highly recommend, and also enjoyed an ostrich safari. Thanks to a brochure from the hotel, we even received a discount. We opted to have dinner at the lodge and it was excellent, complemented by a great wine list. The wifi was a little hit and miss at times, but it certainly did not...

We stayed one night at the Oakdene Guest House and wished we had stayed for two nights. The owners, Sonia and Daniel, were very welcoming and couldn’t have done anymore for us. Sonia cooks her own bread and cakes for guests. The smell and taste of both was fantastic. There is a swimming pool at the end of the long garden which was a great spot to unwind after a long drive.

The best area to stay in Volmoed is within the Volmoed Estate itself, offering a tranquil and convenient base for exploring the region.
The Volmoed Estate is a sprawling property located in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, known for its natural beauty and peaceful setting. It's characterised by rolling hills, vineyards, and fynbos, providing a serene escape. The estate has a main reception area, various accommodation options scattered across its grounds, and walking trails that allow guests to enjoy the scenery. It's located just a short drive from the town of Hermanus, making it easy to access local amenities and attractions.
For couples seeking a relaxing getaway, the Volmoed Estate is an excellent choice. Its secluded nature and beautiful surroundings provide a great backdrop for quiet time together. You can enjoy walks through the fynbos, wine tasting at nearby vineyards in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, or simply unwind in a peaceful environment. Many of the accommodations offer private patios or balconies with stunning views.
Families will also find the Volmoed Estate a comfortable and practical option. The spacious grounds allow children to play and explore in a natural setting. There are various self-catering rooms available, providing the convenience of preparing your own meals.
When is the best time to go to Volmoed?
The best time to go to Volmoed is during the shoulder seasons, specifically from March to May and September to November. These periods offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and the best opportunities for outdoor activities.
During these months, the temperatures are mild and comfortable, typically ranging from 18°C to 25°C. This makes it ideal for exploring the surrounding fynbos landscapes, enjoying walks, or visiting the local vineyards without the intense heat of summer or the chill of winter.
For those interested in whale watching, the spring shoulder season (September to November) is particularly good. Volmoed is close to the coast, and this time of year coincides with the prime whale migration season, offering excellent chances to spot Southern Right Whales along the nearby coastline.
If you prefer a quieter experience and good value, visiting in the shoulder seasons is a wise choice.
