"Really great accommodation, close to town, very comfortable and clean, equipped with all one needs.

Landrani Luxury Lodge

Oudtshoorn

"We had a wonderful time at Landrani Lodge! The entire staff were incredibly friendly, and our driver, Edmore, was always very friendly and helpful when picking us up and showing us the ropes at the lodge. It’s absolutely brilliant that you can actually spot all the animals roaming freely there. Unfortunately, we could only stay for two days, though we would have much preferred to stay longer. If you enjoy barbecuing, this is the best spot you could ask for! A kitchen that, with a simple flick...

Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve

8/10 Good

"Beaucoup de mouches, moustiques lors des repas et près et dans la chambre. A corriger absolument très désagréable. Personnel à la réception sans aucun pouvoir discrétionnaire. Point positif, le chef est exceptionnel. Repas, choix, quantité, goût, fantastique. Le personnel pour le service des repas vraiment excellent. Mini bar c’est problématique. Nous avons payé un forfait astronomique pour tous les boissons inclus, ce n’a pas été le cas, nous nous sommes battus pour faire remplir le mini bar. Les safaris sont très bien. Peu d’animaux mais comme la réserve est petite facile de voir les mêmes animaux d’une journée à l’autre. 2 nuits amplement suffisant, 3 nuits redondants mais endroit très calme pour se reposer. Si vous voulez un peu de luxe, réserver une des 6 ou 8 chambres AMBASSADEUR sinon très minimaliste"

Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was absolutely fantastic! The staff, the safari drives, the accommodation and the food was so delicious, with options for any diet. Can't recommend enough and extremely good value for money."

Old Mill Lodge, Working Ostrich Farm & Restaurant, Oudtshoorn

8/10 Good

"Beautifully kept grounds. The Glamping tent was a perfect balance of camping with the “luxuries “ of staying in a hotel room like a/c , a bath tub and tv although it was only a couple if channels and the wifi was spotty at best. But you are camping in between mountains after all! Staff is helpful and friendly even though we had a problem connecting through the expedia platform they were very accommodating. My tent room was clean and well stocked with coffee, tea, cream and sugar as well as a room spray, soap and insect repellent. Animals are a very nice experience , especially for the younger ones. Lots of activities or spots to relax at. Minutes to the Cango Caves and other local attractions and activities. Would recommend!"

De Kombuys Estate

10/10 Excellent

DE BERGKANT

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at De Bergkant in late July. The setting and surrounding view was stunning. We were greeted by Tracey who was manager and head chef. She could not have been more helpful. She provided recommendations on things to do in Prince Albert and places to eat, even made our dinner reservations for us. The rooms and the grounds were clean and comfortable. One of the highlights of our stay was breakfast. Tracey prepared a varied 5 course breakfast each morning that could only be described as incredible. Most ingredients were locally sourced and everything was absolutely delicious. Prince Albert itself had a lot to offer and was well worth the trip. To anyone planning a trip to the area I highly recommend including a stay at De Bergkant."

Oue Werf Country House

"Clean, cozy and wonderful staff!"

Buffelsdrift Game Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Buffelsdrift is an absolute gem. We loved every moment of our stay and wish we could have enjoyed it for a bit longer. The 5 star service - from reception, restaurant (food and service), turn down service and check out - was excellent. We will be making another reservation very soon! Thank you!!"

"Unique property in unique setting. Great service. Great food."

Le Petit Karoo

10/10 Excellent

"Wish we could’ve stayed longer! A unique experience staying in a converted shepherds hut, now the honeymoon suite- beautifully converted with plunge pool & the most stunning 360 degree views- also from the shower! So peaceful & tranquil,The owners of Le Petit Karoo really went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. Beautiful dinner. Amazing value for money & would 100% recommend. Thanks Tracy & Karen, hope to see you again."
