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.

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!

Occasionally whilst on your travels you stumble upon somewhere you really feel at home ... this is how it was when we stayed at 88 Baron van Reede.

The accommodation was just perfect, comfortable and relaxing. Huw and Zoe, gave us a very warm welcome and spent quite some time, advising on local attractions and restaraunts to visit, even providing discount vouchers for some of them!

Zoe's assortment of home made cakes, pastries and jams, were also a lovely touch, and the breakfast selection was huge and very delicious.

They even advised us on the best routes and provided maps for our onward journey.

We could not recommend a stay with Huw and Zoe highly enough!

We drove in from Barrydale on Route 62 and were made so welcome by the owner, Hew, who spent time talking about the facilities and recommending places to eat and things to do while we stayed in Outshoorn. His enthusiasm encouraged us to take up his suggestions and made our stay in the town a memorable one. During our stay he was always made time to check if there was anything we needed and talk about life in the area.

Pleasant stay

Spent two nights here and had a wonderful time. Our history Huy was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. Out room was beside the pool and very comfortable. Restaurants are in walking distance and there is a shopping mall close by.

Excellent place in all regards

The owner is super nice and helpful! The rooms are super cute and clean and he’s incredibly accommodating. He made excellent recommendations for food and activities in the area too! The breakfast was amazing and he even had some of his wife’s jam for us to try!

Excellent B&B

The owners were both friendly and efficient host's. The room was very clean. There are a couple of restaurants within a block of the B&B. Even though it is in town, it is quiet and you don't hear any traffic

Fab Stay

Would 100% recommend this guesthouse for your stay in outdshoorn. Hue was an excellent host and went out of his way to provide us with all the useful information we needed, such as recommending a lovely restaurant for dinner and day activities. One of our best stays on the garden route!

Very pleasant stay

Rooms were comfortable with a nice little deck/porch out front. There was a small sitting room inside, but we had no need of it. Small but entirely serviceable and clean pool, which we totally enjoyed. Secure parking. Two nice nice restaurants in walking distance. We had a lovely breakfast on his front porch. But, most importantly, Huw was a font of information and helped us plan our drive back to Cape Town in detail!

An excellent choice

Zoe and Huw are amazing hosts and we had a memorable stay with them. The guesthouse is lovely with comfortable rooms and a pool area to relax in. The breakfast was delicious with a very good choice. We had cooked breakfasts and they were lovely. Zoe and Huw could not have been more friendly and helpful and we would definitely recommend their guesthouse. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and feel very bad that we forgot to leave a tip in our haste to get to our next destination - so sorry you two, we will make it up next time!

Huw and Zoe are perfect hosts!

We received a very warm welcome from Huw when we arrived, and he was most helpful in giving us tips of things to do and places to eat. Huw and Zoe were great at breakfast, and made us a special vegetarian breakfast, which went down well! They also had freshly made muffins which were amazing! Hotel was in a great location, and perfect for our short stay. We would definitely recommend and will also be staying here again next time we are in town!

Truly Outstanding

We travel all around the world primarily staying at local B & B's and hotels. This is one of the five best B & B's we have stayed at. Zoey and Huw are outstanding hosts thinking of every detail to help their guests. It is clear that they pour their hearts and souls into this. Breakfast is included and wonderful. Both restaurants they recommended were excellent. Legro, the ostrich shop they recommended, gave the best service, had the best made products, and still had competitive prices. We took an outstanding all day tour highlighted by the Swartberg Mountains that we arranged ourselves with Swartberg Mountain Tours that was fantastic and which Zoey and Huw enthusiastically endorsed.

Terrific value, awesome hosts

Our hosts Zoe and Huw were amazing. We really felt at home. House is on a busy street, but the rooms were in the back building and very quiet. Rooms were comfortable despite the outside heat (40 C). Excellent breakfast, great location. We liked the place so much we changed our travel plans and stayed an extra day. Would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous B&B run family-style

We had a really wonderful stay here. Huw and Zoe were incredibly helpful with telling us about local places to see, activities to do and even gave us discount vouchers for an ostrich farm. They also made a special breakfast for us because of our dietary requirements and really took care of us. Our room was gorgeous - comfy bed, tastefully decorated and very clean. Would not stay anywhere else in Oudtshoorn!

Friendliest place we have stayed

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at 88. Our hosts Huw and Zoey were most friendly and helpful. The room was good value for money and spotlessly clean. The swimming pool area was a bonus just outside our room.
The location was excellent for visiting the area and the town itself was within easy walking distance as were some very good local restaurants.

Amazing guesthouse!

The hosts, Zoe and Huw, were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The house itself is a beautiful building. Breakfast was excellent and the room was clean and very comfortable. Zoe provided a special early bird breakfast tray for us as my partner was in a cycle race that morning. A well thought out tray...with real filter coffee. I highly recommend this guesthouse.

Beautiful Guesthouse

We arrived to a very warm welcome, and also a very welcome cool swimming pool! Unfortunately I have forgotten the owners name's but they were so friendly and helpful. They got wind that it was our honeymoon and the next morning they had laid out a cute breakfast table for us with flower petals etc (not my thing but was so nice for the effort). The room was lovely and there is a nice restaurant next door which was recommended by the owners. I had left a shirt in the room wardrobe after we vacated and the owners were going to kindly offer to send it to one of our next destinations in our trip, what service! It was a brand new shirt of mine, I gifted it to the husband as a thank you, I hope he liked it, and fit him! Please stay here, wonderful hospitality!

Excellent stay at very well appointed guest house.

The hosts, Zoe and Hugh are very friendly and welcoming and attentive to anything you might possibly want. Zoe spent time with us making a plan of what we could do during our (too) short stay and even made dinner reservations for us. Their morning breakfast was excellent, a combination of buffet and to order. I highly recommend this guest house. Also it is very well located, close to several good restaurants walking distance. We left thinking we should have stayed longer (we were there for two nights).

Had a fantastic two nights here with hosts Zoe and Hew. Fabulous guesthouse with first class room and facilities. Hews's breakfast were superb and plentiful and he even got us Heinz Baked Beans much to my partners delight. Lovely pool to chill out. They recommended great restaurants booked and organised taxis for us. They were our tour guides for recommending places to visit and nothing disappointed. We arrived guests and left friends. Would recommend for anyone visiting this area to stay here is a must. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you Hew and Zoe
