We had a lovely time at Oudrift! Be sure NOT to use the route by Booking.com, but rather the map communicated by the owners. It a beautiful place. No power, no signal, but all is so organised and comfortable, you really WANT to be off the grid.. Unfortunately the river was dry when we were there, although there are plenty of swimming spots close by the chalets. It's relly pretty. Food for your soul! All the guests eat meals together at the main lodge, we met some amazing people, all sharing their own life stories while sharing food around the table. Well done Bill and Jeanine, we truly enjoyed our stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Oudrif. The pictures don’t even do this place justice. The cabins are gorgeous. Private, cosy, comfortable and clean. And all with a great view. We loved being off-line for 3 days, which added so much value to the experience. Highlight were the morning walks with Jeanine, who generously shared her love and knowledge for the area. We also enjoyed Bills stories over dinner. And the food was amazing, especially the vegetarian dishes! The animals were the cherry on the cake. This was a truly nurturing stay, for both body and soul. Highly recommend.

The cottages are very clean and comfortable, it is a great place to switch off and enjoy the surroundings. Janine makes delicious meals and Bills knowledge of the area makes this place feel very special!

"Off the grid and great quiet and reflective time with great food."

9.0

We liked that it was completely off the grid. Great to have quiet time to reflect and become more grounded. The food was exceptional although more vegetarian inclined. The hosts were excellent.

Nothing really- perhaps a little work of the roads leading to the stay. But was accessible
