Guest Reviews
- Cornelia (6/5): Helaas geen aanrader - Mangers waren aardig en de (betaalde) rondleiding op de farm was wel leuk. De wifi was verschrikkelijk. Er waren verschillende wifi kanalen. Onze kamer viel Net tussen alle punten in dus ene moment op de ene wifi kanaal en werd je er uit gegooid en moest je weer verbinding maken met een ander kanaal totdat je daar na enkele minuten weer werd uitgegooid. Het restaurant in de koudere tijd was heel ongezellig. We waren er eind april. Een glazen kooi waar we met de rest van de gasten, allemaal Hollanders, zaten. Het menu was vrij duur. Locatie ligt ook vrij ver van centrum (15 minuten) om elders naar restaurant te gaan. Zwembad zag er eind april ook niet schoon uit Vloertegels in de kamer met cockpit spray ingespoten leek het wel. We gleden zowat uit in onze kamer en alle stof en viezigheid van onder je schoen was natuurlijk gelijk zichtbaar op de tegels.
- Cornelius Johannes (10/5): A very enjoyable stay - will definitely teturn when in Oudtshoorn - “Superman” John with his dedicated and friendly service made it a stay to remember. Out of town yet close. Room wqs spacious and neat. Good views.
- Katarina (8/5): -
- Sophie (9/5): - Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön gelegen und die gesamte Anlage schön angelegt und gepflegt. Vor dem Zimmer und vom Pool aus sieht man Strauße. Im Hotel kann man eine Tour durch die Farm buchen. Man ist mit dem Auto in 10 min in Oudtshoorn und Umgebung. Wir hatten ursprünglich nur ein Zimmer im Nebengebäude buchen können, aber dann sogar eines im Hauptgebäude bekommen - gut für uns, denn wir haben beides angeschaut und der Hauptkomplex hat uns auch vor Ort viel besser gefallen. Unser Zimmer war schön, riesengroß, sehr komfortabel und sauber. Das Personal ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück ist gut und bietet eine große Auswahl. Was für uns überhaupt nicht stimmt ist Preis und Leistung beim Abendessen. Wir haben am ersten Abend in Oudtshoorn gegessen („Nostalgie“, super!!) und dann aufgrund der geschlossenen Restaurants an Ostersonntag im Hotel. Die Portion war eher klein und es war insgesamt auf unserer gesamten Südafrikareise mit Abstand das teuerste Essen. In keinem noch so guten und schönen Restaurant auf unserer Reise hat das Essen je so viel gekostet. Ganz gut geschmeckt hat es, es war aber im Vergleich mit dem sonstigen tollen Essen am Abend zuvor und auch sonst zu vernachlässigen. Noch dazu ist das Restaurant bei größeren Reisegruppen sehr beliebt - an sich nicht schlimm, aber wir sitzen lieber in einem lokalen Restaurant mit tollem Essen und passendem Preis, als neben zwei großen, lauten Reisegruppen, teurem und geschmacklich „nur“ mittelmäßig gutem Essen.
- Mark (6/5): ??? - Staff are fantastic and breakfast was great. I think Mooiplaas was overbooked and we were shoved off to "The Annex", which is not set up to handle rain in terms of access to the rooms, gutters are rotting and falling off, meaning you have to dodge waterfalls. I have stayed at Mooiplaas before and the room we stayed in this time does not compare to the room we stayed in last time. Not worth the amount we spent and we will not be back.
- Jessica Yvonne (8/5): Schöne Unterkunft - Grosser Pool, Strausse direkt vor der Tür, nettes Personal, sehr grosses Zimmer Bett war etwas durchgelegen, alles etwas in die Jahre gekommen
- Florentine (10/5): - Prachtig uitzicht, heerlijk als je aan het mooie zwembad ligt om dat uitzicht te hebben. Hele aardige manager. Schone en grote kamers. Heerlijk ontbijt en diner gehad.
- Helmut (8/5): Optimierungspotential vorhanden - Der große Pool ...dass die Liegen am Pool belegt, aber nicht benutzt werden. Küche insgesamt nur durchschnittlich.
- Jakob (8/5): - sehr schöner Pool und sehr freundliches Personal
- R.u B.Kirchner (5/5): - Aussicht,das war es aber auch. Essen wurde serviert ohne vorher den Preis anzugrben. Für ein 200 g Staussensteak mit trockenem Salat und 2 halbe !! gebratene Kartoffeln die noch Knüppel hart waren und ein Löffen Gemüse 50,00 Euro zu verlangen war schon frech. Des weiteren wurden am morgen von Hr. John Tassen mit Cappuccino verteilt ohne zu erwähnen das er kostenpflichtig ist. Bitte nicht auf die witzige Art von John reinfallen, das ist nur eine Masche um Gäste abzuzocken. ( GANZ MIESE ART MR.JOHN). Solltet ihr eigene Getränke im Kühlschrank stellen wird einfach der Stecker gezogen da es nicht erwünscht ist.
- Philipp (8/5): Great stay on the ostrich farm - The staff were great and very helpful in every way. The food was good, the ostrich steak was delicious! The view of the ostrich farms is nice and with the pool it’s perfect for a relaxed day. Definitely would recommend to join the ostrich tour as you receive some really interesting facts about ostrichs! The hotel is nice but you notice that the years of glory have passed. The room was clean with the only exception of the in gap between the sinks.
- Claudia (10/5): Beste Unterkunft für einen Zwischenstopp in Outshoorn - Geräumiges Zimmer, sehr nettes Personal, das Ostrich Filet im Restaurant ein Gedicht. Vielfältiges und schön präsentiertes Frühstück. Definitiv die beste Unterkunft in Oudtshoorn.
- Theo (9/5): -
- Michael (9/5): Gemütliches Guesthouse mit viel Charme an perfekter Lage - Das Guesthous ist wunderbar gelegen und bietet beim gemütlichen Poolbereich einen wunderschönen Ausblick über die Umgebung. Das Personal war super freundlich und das Essen/Frühstück war ausgezeichent. Auch die Führung bei der Straussenfarm hat sich sehr gelohnt.
- Michael (5/5): Von Hue hinten, Pfui!!!!!!! - Wir sind authentische Reiseblogger ( @welove2travelaroundtheworld auf Instagram)und berichten immer fair. Das Gästehaus ansich ist recht schön und auch, obwohl es ein paar km außerhalb von Oudtshoorn ist, gut gelegen. Der lange Pool war ein Magnet und die Zimmer schön groß. Auch der Manager und das Personal war hilfsbereit. Vor und hinter dem Gästehaus waren Vogelstrausse ( komisches Wort aber so wird es geschrieben) zu bewundern und man darf sie auch auf Nachfrage füttern. Von Pool aus hat man auch eine sehr schöne Aussicht auf die gegenüberliegenden Bergketten und auf große Einzäunung mit mehreren 100 Vogelstrausse in der Ferne. leider ist dieses Gästehaus dennoch bei uns durchgefallen und würden wir auch nicht noch einmal buchen!!! 1) der Pool war relativ dreckig und wurde erst auf Nachfrage von uns versucht zu reinigen 2) die liegen auf, die um den Paul herum zur Verfügung standen, war ebenfalls relativ schmutzig, was nicht zum hinlegen eingeladen hat. Das ganze Gästehaus ist eigentlich schon ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen. Das haben wir dann auch am nächsten Morgen, als wir duschen wollten festgestellt, dass die selbige ebenfalls eiskalt war, obwohl das Wasser 10 Minuten gelaufen ist. Auf Nachfrage dazu wurde uns gesagt, dass dies gerne repariert werde. Das half uns aber in diesem Moment nicht, da wir nur eine Nacht dort waren. 3) beim Checkin wurden wir gefragt, ob wir auch Abendessen wollten, da die Stadt etwas weiter weg lag. Da wir es nicht besser wussten, haben wir zugesagt. Das Essen an sich war auch relativ lecker. Es gab natürlich Straußen Steak. Am nächsten Morgen beim Checkout nach dem Frühstück, was auch reichhaltig, aber nicht weltbewegend war und wir die Rechnung erhalten haben, fielen wir aus allen Wolken, da uns für das Abendessen pro Person 650 Rand in Rechnung gestellt wurden. Somit ist es das teuerste Restaurant pro Person in Südafrika. Selbst der Cappuccino musste mit umgerechnet drei Euro am Morgen zusätzlich bezahlt werden. Dieser wurde uns zwar erlassen, weil die Dusche kalt war, aber dennoch eine ziemliche abzocke hier. Selbst eine Nacht zuvor, in einem Fünfsternehotel habe ich ein großes Chateaubriand Steak mit 300 gr für 210 Rand gegessen. wir hatten dies natürlich reklamiert und man wollte es von unserer Rechnung nehmen, die wir schon bezahlt hatten und es uns wieder auf unserem Konto gutschreiben was leider nicht geschehen ist. Es muss natürlich jeder für sich selbst entscheiden, wo er übernachten möchte. Aber wir können dieses Gästehaus leider nicht empfehlen, denn hier wird zusätzlich Kasse gemacht.
- André (9/5): Sehr schöne Anlage um nach Ausflügen zu entspannen. - Die Lage etwas oberhalb der Straße mit dem langgezogenen Pool ermöglicht von der Frühstücks Terrasse einen schönen Blick auf die Ebene mit Straußen und die Swartberge. Das Zimmer war mit 2 Räumen und einem großen Badezimmer sehr geräumig und gemütlich. Das Frühstück war sehr köstlich und es gab nicht nur Eier, Speck und Toast, sondern auch Müsli, Frisches Obst, Konfitüre und noch einiges mehr. Es werden am Nachmittag Führungen auf dem eigenen Straußen-Gelände angeboten, wir waren bei der Safari-Ostrich Farm. Fällt mir gerade nichts ein.
- Sandra (5/5): -
- Egor (10/5): - Отель при действующей страусиной ферме. Просторный номер в отдельно стоящем здании. Бассейн был очень кстати после длительной поездки в жаркий день. Завтрак и ужин замечательные почти с индивидуальным обслуживанием. Утром брали экскурсию по ферме - информативно и весело. С удовольствием вернулся бы еще на более длинный срок
- Katharina (7/5): - Sehr freundliches Personal in allen Bereichen! Wir waren leider im Nebengebäude, die Gastgeberin war jedoch super. Hat uns morgens schon Kaffee an die Terrasse gebracht. In die Jahre gekommen. Liegenauflagen müssen dringend erneuert werden. Abendessen war gut, aber jeden Tag das selbe.
- Heidi (10/5): N plek om nooit mis te ry nie!! - Oase 🌴🌴🌴 met tiptop personeel, kos en geriewe. Dit skep die gevoel van n eiland vakansie -
- Julia (7/5): Für ältere Menschen - Sehr leckeres Silvester Menü. Tolle Führung über die Straußenfarm mit Ben! Zielgruppe scheinen eher ältere Menschen zu sein. Es wirkt teilweise etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
- GillPete (9/5): -
- Philippa (10/5): Memorable stay!! - So quiet and staff were excellent Nothing
- Herbert (10/5): Ein erholsamer, ruhiger Platz zum Runterkommen im Klein Karoo - Die Lage, das freundliche Personal Das perfekt gegrillte Straußenfilet Perfektes Weihnachtslunch und -Dinner -
- Dustin (9/5): - Food was exceptional, especially the lamb and ostrich for dinner! Great garden space for children to play, and they loved feeding the ostriches. Superman John was great, and very accommodating
- Sanet (10/5): - Superman John...yes what a pleasure to meet him Dinner was lovely on the verandah with perfect weather Love rhe pool Nothing ...to stay longer next time
- Elke (9/5): - Das ganze Personal war sehr sehr freundlich, Superman John war etwas besonderes. Mit seinen deutschen Erzählungen und seinem Charme kommt immer gute Laune auf. Das Abendessen ist zu empfehlen Die Bezüge der Liegestühle waren dreckig
- christiane (9/5): -
- Ivan (9/5): Mooiplaas is een must - De mooie grote kamers Eigenlijk niets
- Christian (10/5): Mann fühlte sich sehr wohl - Aussicht, Personal, Essen war super Nichts zu bemängeln
- Manfred (8/5): - Alles gut
- Donna Lisa (8/5): -
- Ann (9/5): A lovely place to relax and enjoy the big birds! - Setting perfect. Room extremely comfortable. Staff responsive and warm. Easy access to ostrich farm and lovely grounds- with wandering bug birds! Lively porch in our room with great view. Lively little extras like liqueur and biscuits in room. A number of large groups stay here and eat dinner here. While the staff really hustles, it can effect service in the dining room. And- if you are staying here more than one night- know that menu is not varied much. As a vegetarian, I had a slightly altered meal the second night. Only one option was available.

- Jean Francois (10/5): Excellente adresse à Oudtshoorn - Un super accueil avec Superman John qui a vraiment effectué un traitement sur mesure. C est un très bel endroit situé tout proche de la ferme Highgate où l on peut voir les autruches. Sur l hôtel, l endroit est très calme et agréable et derrière l hébergement, on peut également observer les autruches. Les restaurant propose également d excellents plats et le buffet du petit déjeuner est excellent.
- Cristina Dusi (10/5): Surpreendente! Gostaria de ter ficado mais dias - o café da manhão foi delicioso. Super completo! E o atendimento foi excelente! gostei de tudo
- Brigitte (10/5): Super! - Heel vriendelijk personeel en superman John regelt alles voor je. Heerlijk diner gehad en een uitgebreid ontbijt. Zeker een aanrader! Niets
- Sandy (6/5): It’s a nice little farm but don’t pay all the money upfront, rather pay upon checkout. - The room was as advertised and they really put in an effort in their breakfast buffet. We were deeply disappointed when they couldn’t refund or at least create a voucher for our remaining days since we had to cut our vacation short because we received bad new quote far away from home so we had to checkout early and head back to East London. Our money wasted just like that while we were still enjoying their place!! We had even forgotten that the room was freezing every night because their AC is not working which we reported btw before the big disappointment.
- Christian (8/5): -
- Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely stay in Oudtshoorn - Excellent stay with our family at Mooiplaas Ostrich Farm! The staff were very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
- Vipul (8/5): A beautiful property with comfortable rooms, but the lack of consistent hospitality left us disappoi - We stayed at Mooiplaas and truly appreciated the well-appointed rooms and the beautiful property. The surroundings were peaceful, and the initial interactions with the staff were warm and welcoming. However, the overall hospitality did not quite match our expectations over the duration of our stay. We were not informed in advance that the ostrich farm tour would be chargeable, and were only made aware of the cost at check-out — which felt unfair and poorly communicated. On the day of check-out, we briefly stepped out for breakfast at another property but returned within 40 minutes as they didn’t have vegetarian options. By the time we got back (around 9:36 am), the breakfast had already been cleared — despite breakfast being available till 10:00 am. While we understood this may have been due to us being the only guests that morning, what was disappointing was the response from the manager, Marshal. Initially, he claimed it was past 10:00 am. When we pointed out the actual time, he then said the setup was removed because we had left. At no point did he offer even a simple gesture like a cup of coffee or something small to make us feel cared for. It’s the small touches that often leave a lasting impression, and unfortunately, the lack of basic hospitality at the end of our stay left us disappointed.
- Renate (7/5): Good -
- Marnus (10/5): Exceptional - Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. 5-star breakfast.
- Aleksei (10/5): Exceptional - Great as always
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marius (8/5): Excellent stay, would highly recommend - Location; excellent staff and delicious food. Superman John and Andre were exceptional hosts and made sure our stay was comfortable. All the staff are friendly. The food was really delicious and more than enough. Rooms can do with new carpets. But is was nice and clean
- Johan (10/5): Best stay in the Karoo by far!! - Andre our host was excellent! The view, dining experience and life music was brilliant. Will be back...
- Raphaela (10/5): - .
- Saretha (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stephanus (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful setting!
- Kevin (9/5): Superb - Wonderfull stay, nothing was to much trouble for the staff. Superman John exceptional as always 👍🤣
- Natania (9/5): Comfortable and clean with magnificent Karoo views. Scrumptious breakfast and delightful staff! - The breakfast was fantastic! It included a variety of fresh fruit, cereals, freshly baked breads, cheeses, jams, and a typical English breakfast. The coffee was freshly brewed! It was great value for money, and there was lots to choose from every morning. I used the pool every morning. What a view from there. Towels were provided. The rooms are clean and the beds comfortable. Peace and serenity await anyone who stays here.
- Lucy (7/5): Good - Ostriches were cool Sun beds on dead uneven grass, would be nice if were a patio. Breakfast could be better but dinner was fab.
- Rachel (9/5): Superb - Super friendly staff, fabulous pool, great ostrich tour and lovely dinner Not as luxury as others we stayed in - but the service, staff and facilities still made this a fabulous stay.
- Felix (9/5): Superb - Amazing staff! Super friendly and attentive
- Saul (8/5): Very good -
- Catherine (10/5): A very friendly home from home - Our third visit to this wonderful oasis. We come to see Andre the manager whom we fell in love with on our first visit approx 13 years ago. He was on top form making everyone feel welcome and ensuring everyone was having a relaxing time. The property has a lovely large infinity pool overlooking the ostriches and fields which is so relaxing, there’s also a seating area and a bar which is is great to lounge in after a busy day out exploring. Breakfast is an excellent varied hot and cold buffet and dinner is a delicious three course event with a Braai of a choice of meat, I really recommend the Karoo lamb or the local ostrich. Room super comfortable overlooking the garden and fields with big king bed and lovely soft pillows, I love the decadent ostrich skin headboards that only this area of SA would have and consider normal. large bathroom with big bath and separate shower, also separate loo. Always sad to leave this place. Parking very safe just outside your room, very convenient. Everything spotlessly clean.
- Nicole (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nadine (8/5): Great staff and pool - Great pool and eventhough the ostrich camps are close to the rooms, there was so foul smell in the rooms. They accommodated my request for a late check-out. Email communication before hand could have been a bit better.
- Daniela (6/5): 1 Nacht auf der Rundreise - Wir hatten uns sehr auf unsere Honeymoon Suite gefreut. Leider wurden wir enttäuscht. Wir hatten viele Spinnen auf dem Bett/ auf den Kissen. Das Personal war sehr bemüht und hat direkt reagiert um das Thema zu beheben. Uns wurde mitgeteilt, das die Betten frisch bezogen wurden, alle Spinnen im Raum weggesaugt wurden und auch kein Insektenspray (darum hatte ich gebeten) verwendet wurde. Leider waren die Kissen/ Betten nicht neu bezogen und eine Raum-/Insektenspray kam auch zum Einsatz. Immerhin waren die Spinnen weg. Das Bett war OK. Das Bad war recht modern und sauber, der restliche Raum war eher verwohnt. Die Terrasse war nicht gefegt und die Sitzkissen hatten Stock. Wir wollten die schöne Aussicht nach dem Abendessen dort nicht genießen. Eine Honeymoon Suite stellt man sich anders vor. Loben muss man die Bemühungen des Personals um uns unseren Aufenthalt angenehm zu gestalten. Wir wurden am Abend zu einer Flasche Wein eingeladen, was wir auch zu schätzen wussten. Das Essen war gut. Die Sauberkeit im Restaurant auf dem Tisch/ Salz-/Pfefferstreuer, Besteck und Teller war nicht gegeben. Haben wir beim Abendessen noch darüber hinweg gesehen hat es uns beim Frühstück doch sehr gestört. Beide Pools waren trübe, wir wollten dort nicht baden. Es war bei der Buchung nicht ersichtlich, das das Guesthouse aus 2 voneinander getrennten (ca. 500m) Guesthäusern gehört. Auch wenn wirklich alle bemüht waren, hat es für uns im Endergebnis nicht gereicht. Wir würden nicht wieder kommen.

- Candice (10/5): Great guest house - The accommodation is spacious, comfortable and clean. Extra touches such as water, chocolate and port in the room make it special.

The staff make every effort to make the stay enjoyable.

- Julie (10/5): Loved our stay at Mooiplass guesthouse. We will definitely be back! - We had an excellent stay at Mooiplass Guesthouse! Superman John, Marshall and all the staff made us feel right at home. They went the extra mile to make sure our stay was great. We also took the informative ostrich farm tour with Ben at he guesthouse. Ben is very knowledgeable in everything ostrich! He also doubles as the braai master! The dinner was delicious in a beautiful spot, outside overlooking the pool and the expanse of the Karoo. Recommend having dinner at the guesthouse! The rooms very well appointed and very comfortable. Breakfast was very generous with plenty of options. The guesthouse is in a great location near the main ostrich farms outside Oudtshoorn. Nothing!

- Anette (7/5): Charming hotel with the best staff. - The staff is what makes this place special. Thank you for your friendliness and for being so accommodating. The pool area with the view of the mountains is also amazing. Breakfast was delicious. I had a massage which was incredible. Please also remember to book onto the Ostrich tour, great guide and you learn a lot in a fun and interactive way! I can imagine that this place was the IT place in early 2000s, and it’s charming in that way, BUT it could do with a bit of a deep clean and update.
