This place is awesome. The only point we didn’t like is the fact that the information on the App isn’t 100% accurate. Technically, this guesthouse does have a restaurant. But reservations for any meal must be made 24 hours prior to the meal. So, we ended up being unable to eat. This information should be included in the description, but isn’t.

Beautiful clean and neat - BIG thumbs up 👍👍

Awesome place to stay at. You will not be dissapointed. Place was very clean and it actually took us by surprise that such a beautiful, neat and clean place can be found just outside Oudsthoorn. Stayed only one night but will definitely return should I find myself in that part of the country again. 10/10

Die Fonteine guest house!! Must stay!!

This is such a nice and quiet guest paradise and caters formal rooms as well as 2 glamping tented suites if one feel like outdoor camping. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning and high speed wifi 👌. Amenities like coffee, tea , shampoo etc are also included. Very impressed with the " honesty bar" where you can help yourself to beverages and either deposit the money into a cash can or write it up against your room no and settle it on departure. Breakfast was also delicious including assorted cereals, home made bread and preserves. The swimming pool was sparkling clean and a must in the hot summer days. Situated very close to several wedding venues, game ranch and local wine farm, this is a must stay. We will definately be back!

Peaceable kingdom

Die Fontaine is a hidden gem in a tranquil country setting, whose hosts excel in hospitality. Our room, one of six, was cozy, beautiful, and immaculate, with a clawfoot tub in the modern bathroom. The beautifully landscaped grounds feature a swimming pool, aviaries, and more. Stay here for a respite from the craziness.

It was one of the nicest places we stayed in on our 3-week trip. The room was very clean and nicely decorated with a great eye for detail, and had everything we needed. The garden was really great to relax for a bit. But most of all the owners were such friendly and warm people! Braai dinner was the highlight of our stay here and also the first time we tried ostrich meat :) We wished we could've stayed a bit longer and would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Superb guesthouse.

This is a superb guesthouse set in glorious gardens with a great hostess. Breakfast is excellent, with terrific coffee and homemade breads. The rooms all have privacy and are absolutely clean. The swimming pool is natural with great recliners. Dinner is served should you not want to go out at night. We loved our 2 night stay.

Gorgeous guesthouse in the countryside

This lovely guesthouse is located about 15 minutes outside of Oudtshoorn center, with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and countryside. We were very glad that we stayed here instead of inside the town center. The only downside was that the pool was a bit dirty, which might be a result of the water shortage in the region.

Die Fonteine is a beautiful lodge situated away from the hustle and bustle of town. We enjoyed the quietness and tranquility the country side had to offer. The hotel was clean and the breakfast was great. Die Fonteine is also situated in an ideal location as Cnago Wildlife Ranch, Buffelsdrift, Cango caves, Karusa wine farm and an ostrich ranch was located within 5-15 min driving or walking distance respectively. I would highly recommend this place for relaxation with "adventure on the doorsteps" for those seeking a bit of both :) Thanks Luke
