- CLAUDIA (8/5): -
- Butler (10/5): A taste of yesteryear. - The "old timey" vibe was fun. The creaky floor board and squeaky door and the ancient light switches all contributed to this feeling of yesteryear that was genuinely appealing. The comforts, however, were modern.
- Horst (10/5): -
- Thabisile (4/5): Can the owners prioritize cleaning the place, stayed three nights no cleaning - Location was great Not Cleaning the place daily and changing linen and towels, not refilling tea and coffee daily, ants in the kitchen and full of dust
- Jodi (10/5): Lovely stay at this beautiful guesthouse. The owner was exceptional and very helpful. - Easy Access, Perfect location, Had all the necessities, Cozy
- MaryAnn (9/5): Uitstekend! - De locatie, de mooie ruimte. Ruime kamer met groot bed en veel ruimte en extra voorzieningen Mooi oud pand en ingericht met oog voor detail. Auto veilig geparkeerd. N.v.t.
- Albert NL (9/5): mooi pand, op goede lokatie met een hele prettige sfeer - De lokatie is goed, net buiten centrum, maar op loop afstand leuke koffieplek en restaurantjes Sommige dingen zitten los, en een keer een klusjesman even dit laten opknappen zou een grote verbetering zijn
- Yolinde (10/5): - Everything it was wonderful
- Michael (9/5): - Great!!

- Veena (10/5): - I love the vintage setup and the friendliness. Teresa was so accommodating and kind. I wish I cud have stayed longer... I fell in love with the beautiful place.. And my daughter was so mesmerized with the place as well. We will definitely be back.

- maqhula (10/5): -
- Coenraad (10/5): Travel back in time! - We really liked the old styling and feel that also resonated with the historic aspect of the town itself. One gets a sense of a simpler time and it felt safe and peaceful. All restaurants and amenities are within walking distance. Our hostess, Teresa, was friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting Oudtshoorn! The ensuite for the main room could have been more spacious but was sufficient for our short stay. (The second bedroom's ensuite was more suitable). The only drawback was that the WiFi signal was weak and kept dropping. (But to be honest, there are a lot more interesting things to do than having free wifi...)
- Yu Fei (8/5): Lovely stay! Smooth check-in and check-out with secure parking. -
- Tities (8/5): - Spacious room and cleanliness Parking a bit of concern
- Johané (9/5): -
- Michelle (9/5): Beautiful house - Beautiful house and bedroom. Good location - walking distance to several restaurants. Quiet area. The en suite in the room lacked privacy. But would not stop me booking again.
- Madatt (10/5): Comfortable and safe - Location was central, love the peace and quiet Like the historical nature of property.
- Fiona (6/5): Beautiful building in historic location but poor bathroom - Lovely historic building and near good restaurants and interesting historic area. Close to town. Host was responsive on WhatsApp. Bathroom was tiny and poorly laid out. Lot of locks and no staff on site. Hard to find and location marked in Booking.com looks wrong.
- Asenathi (4/5): -
- Michael (8/5): - Lovely old house with comfortable and interesting rooms Street not the best, but fine
- maritza (10/5): -
- Eric (10/5): -
- Michelle (6/5): - Well used small towels Shower/toilet in room
- Gail (1/5): - The room was beautiful We couldn't reach the owner. We had to walk around the property to get the attention of someone to let us in. The shower didn't work. We had to wash in a basin. I'm furious
- Sandra (6/5): - Mooi pand De badkamer achter een gordijn en de toilet heel erg onhandig
- Kruger (6/5): - We stayed at this accommodation and enjoyed certain aspects of it. The room itself was nice, and the house had an authentic charm with a lovely old look that I appreciated. However, there were several issues that made the stay less comfortable. The bathroom and shower were leaking, the door key was broken, and the floors were dirty. Overall, the house did not feel properly cleaned and could really do with a thorough deep clean. With some maintenance and proper cleaning, this accommodation could be much better.
- Olivier (8/5): - Loved everything so much. The room is amazing and we enjoyed our coffee on the nice stoep. Feels like home away from home. Will definitely visit again. Phone number didn't work. We had trouble getting in. There was an opened ice cream in the mini fridge. We unplugged it and left open when we left for you to see.

- Bianca (10/5): -
- Liesl (8/5): Step back in time Lovely - The friendliness of our host. The house is really beautiful.... Loved the electric blanket- our life saver! The shower and bathroom facilities in our room was a little uncomfortable and impractical...the heating system wasn't easy to manage... The lock and key for the main door didn't work smoothly.
- Adri (9/5): -
- Chere-leigh (8/5): -
- HELEN (9/5): Even though it we were just there for one night, our stay was memorable. - The location was perfect, within reach of everything we needed, shops, restaurants within walking distance. The room was superb, clean and comfy. The bathroom not so private though, even though it was in the room it was not closed up.

- Tufts (8/5): Very good -
- Dani (8/5): A great place to stop over or spend a few nights. Easy to find and comfortable - Great atmosphere. Heater was great. Spacious room. Off street parking. Very cold - but this can’t be helped really…
- Sanelle (10/5): Exceptional -

- Mullisa (8/5): Relaxing, beautiful enjoyable weekend:) - It was spacious, clean, safe, and quiet. Beautiful setup, we loved every minute of our stay! There were no costers for the table. Also no bottle opener or corkscrew.
- Karen (8/5): Great location in Oldsthoorn - Malissa, the host, was very kind. The porch was delightful for reading and relaxing. The air conditioning was a joy given the hot evenings. The bathroom was behind a curtain and not really separate.
- Normandin (8/5): Very good - Location and friendliness
- Sivuziwe (7/5): Good -
- Marius (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ashley (6/5): Comfortable stay in an historic home in the centre of Oudtshoorn - Beautiful house, large bedroom and bathroom, very comfortable king bed. Well located close to a Number of restaurants with a lovely breakfast spot next door. Secure parking. The bathroom wasn’t as clean it should have been. Towels were old/well-used and I believe they should be white to indicate cleanliness.
- Cheetham (7/5): Great location however maybe more attention to detail is required. - The room was beautiful and comfortable. We paid for breakfast only to be told on the day their kitchen was closed. We did however get a voucher to eat elsewhere but the choice of food was not great. And we ended up having to pay additional money as the voucher didn’t cover the poor selection. I also think the room could have had a fan as it is extremely hot in Oudtshoorn and the windows opened onto a common verandah.
- Berry (7/5): no aircon , dissapointing - Sadly not a B& B, no breakfast provided as above
- Marcel (9/5): Superb - Lovely old, antique feel and theme!! Loved it!! Clean and neat with superb finishings. Very nice! The gardens needed attention and it would have been nice to have a braai area.
- Alet (8/5): Very good -
- Anel (9/5): Superb -
- Nortje (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kira (7/5): Good -
- Carr (8/5): Great place to spend the night to visit tourist hotspots. - A comfortable spacious bed and adequately powerful shower. Tasteful decor. warm welcome from our host. Coming from England, we found the high level of security beneficial but slightly overwhelming. We could not relax in such an environment.
- Yvette (10/5): Exceptional - Incredibly beautiful old ostrich palace. Beautifully kept. Clean, fresh and tasteful furnishings. Well stocked kitchen. Beautiful verandah for breakfast and meals. Beautiful gardens. The toilet in the room. Privacy.
- Mario (10/5): Exceptional -
- Van (10/5): Exceptional - Melissa is such an exceptional beautiful host. Made me feel right at home. Minor, but an inconvenience. Broken showermixer. And semi-blocked shower drain.
- Craig (9/5): Superb -
- George (8/5): Very good -
- Rhod (10/5): Had a wonderful stay and would book this accommodation again. - Beautiful historic home converted to a guest house. Centrally located to be able to walk to the shops and restaurants safely. The bedroom was tastefully decorated with antique furniture and the ensuite bathroom had a bath and shower.
- Jens (9/5): Superb -
- Dyira (10/5): Exceptional -
- Graham (9/5): Provided an authentic glimpse into the historic past of Oudtshoorn - Breakfast was great at the cafe next door. Friendly staff and delicious food. The tv didn't work but we were not too fazed by that. Also the one lamp switch was a bit dangerous with exposed wires so I think they need to fix this quickly
- Annebe (8/5): Very good -
- Conroy (8/5): Very good -
- Khethisi (10/5): My family loved about the accommodation, it is stunning. - The rooms are stunning, the owner is very kind and accommodating and the location is perfect. In essence, this the perfect place to book when visiting Oudtshoorn.
