We never got to stay as the hotel had no record of our booking even though I had paid through hotels.com and had confirmation. I cannot therefore review the stay but I can say it looked very nice!

Die Unterkunft ist nur zu empfehlen, auch mit Kindern. Das Personal ist ausgesprochen aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. Das Abendessen ist gut, das Frühstück sogar herausragend - das beste, das wir in Südafrika gegessen haben. Die Zimmer sind großzügig, die Bäder top - renoviert und sauber. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit!

Sehr schönes, außerhalb von Oudtshoorn gelegenes Guesthouse. Unser Zimmer war sehr geräumig, sauber und schön eingerichtet. Der Service war exzellent und das Essen ebenso. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut und Abends kann man auf Wunsch ein 3 Gänge Menü genießen. Beides wird in einer Art gemauerten Pavillon neben dem Pool mit Blick auf die Klein Karoo und die Berge im Hintergrund serviert. Der Pool ist ebenfalls sehr nett und lädt zum auszuruhen auf einer der Sonnenliegen ein. Jeden morgen um 9 Uhr wird eine private Farmtour für die Gäste angeboten die sehr empfehlenswert ist.

Nice pool, bad Wi-Fi
Nice place and great pool. Didn’t like the fact that you only have a set menu and no real choice. Basically food in Oudtshoorn is very meat oriented. Internet and Wi-Fi is really bad.

We loved it and food wine etc was all good. Service was very good maybe a little too attentive at times and if relaxed a little it would feel more comfortable . But saying that all the staff were above and beyond caring and helpful even funny at times . We loved it here so thank you our first stay on an ostrich farm which was interesting especially when we ordered it for our evening meal. Thankfully when it was dark we could eat on the terrace without seeing our feather friends just a step away. We loved the area so peaceful and time to chill after our hectic schedule xx

Very comfortable hotel in lovel grouwith great poo
We were advised to visit the area, which involved a detour off the Garden Route. Mooiplaas is a great hotel, part of an ostrich farm. Some lovely touches wiith a cool drink presented on arrival and a small decanter of port was left in the room. Rooms are large and well equipped with a small patio to the front offering nice views. Lovely infinity pool.Breakfast is included and continental and full English on offer. The local town is 15 minutes drive but has little to offer. The main attraction other than ostriches is the Cango caves.

Idealer Zwischenstopp
Wir waren als Familie da (1 Kleinkind) und haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Angenehm großes Zimmer mit neuem komfortablen Bad. Babybett wurde gestellt. Toller Pool und sehr netter Service. Das Essen war ok - im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften etwas einfacher. Wir würden hier wieder für einen Zwischenstopp übernachten, Zu empfehlen ist die Übernachtung mit einem Besuch der Straußenfarm zu verbinden.

Awesome location
Our stay was comfortable and we had a great time It must be said that the availability of management was non existent and the staff seemed overwhelmed at times. The staff where incredible however did not seem well trained to meet the requirements of 4 star grade. The staff where always willing to help and I must compliment them If you’re able to look past this then this is a fantastic place to launch excursions into the Karoo. Wonderful location, views and place to stay with comfortable rooms, great pools and good ambience in the evenings

It was winter lull and we were the only guests. However, staff in the restaurant were very nice and made dinner for us as well as set up a beautiful Breakfast buffet the next morning. Room was nice but can get a little cold in winter.
