Lovely rustic option in Oudtshoorn
Lovely rustic accomodation in Oudtshoorn. The manager, Ina, is kind and extremely helpful and helps you out with the local area etc. Very well priced and nice pool. No breakfast.

Not Luxury
I wouldn't describe the cottage as luxury just standard. The description states shower only, however there is only a bath. Floors creak with every step. The bright lights outside make the room quite light at night because there is no blind or curtain on the front door. It is freezing cold at night and the heater is totally inadequate and very noisy. The wifi is frustratingly slow when it works, which isn't very often. The cottage is ok, but should not be described as luxury.

Modernes Guesthouse
Der Empfang von Neliza war sehr herzlich! Eine sehr moderne Unterkunft, teilweise etwas zu kühl eingerichtet! Der Frühstücksservice und Ambiente sollte definitiv verbessert werden!
