What an amazing stay. Perfect for a short stay to explore the surrounding area. The property is so lovely, hidden away behind a nice facade but what makes this place so great is the hosts - we did things we have never done were it not for your recommendations, thank you :)

Oudtshoorn Overnight

Our hosts Martha and Kristophe were incredibly welcoming and helpful, going above and beyond in helping us secure a dinner reservation, making sure every element of our stay was the best it could be and even met us as we were loading up for our departure to provide traffic updates and suggesting an alternate route to save us from road works delays. The rooms are very comfortable, very clean, well amenities and remarkably quiet. The parking is secure and totally convenient. I cannot recommend 88 Baron von Reese Guesthouse highly enough.

What a wonderful stay. Our hosts were lovely and went out of their way to help with bookings for trips and restaurants, as well as being very welcoming and just a really nice couple. The room was great with a very comfortable bed, all the amenities required and a lovely shower and washroom. Location is also great, especially for the caves and the excellent restaurant Nostalgie.

Perfect stopover

Lovely guest house owned by a very helpful friendly couple. Right on high st so you can walk safely to several restaurants. The best bit is having your own front door, all bedrooms have outdoor access to rooms so you don’t feel like staying in someone’s home which I hate. Great breakfasts

This review is 4 months late (sorry) but rarely have I stayed at such a nice property with the most friendly and charming owners. They and their property were a total delight. Loved it. It was very comfortable and exceptionally priced. Great breakfast too. Couldn’t recommend more.

We were pleasantly surprised to find that our last minute booking in Oudtshoorn was one of our best stays during our Christmas trip. The hosts were exceptional in their professionalism and personal attention to us. They were very knowledgeable about the areas “must do’s” and eating establishments and even took the time to book some of these on our behalf. Breakfast was a relaxing affair with something for everyone and both a hot and cold breakfast available with the calm sounds of the birds and gentle music in the background. The accommodation is comfortable with the air conditioning being a welcome addition to each room. The owners are gracious and their welcoming demeanor added volumes to the richness of our experience of Oudtshoorn. Thank you for a memorable stay!
