    Lovely hosts! The garden is an oasis in the semi arid climate of Oudtshoorn. Breakfast was delicious, homemade bread and jams served on the covered terrace. We enjoyed exchanging with the hosts in order to learn more about what it is that makes...

Daniel and Sonja Evrard
This gracious 1853 historical gem is one of the oldest buildings in Oudtshoorn. Nestled in the heart of the town, you are welcomed into our home with its wooden floors and high ceilings, reminders of a bygone era. With so many tourist attractions in the area, the saltwater pool in the beautiful back garden offers a welcome escape.
Originally from Belgium, we took over the reigns in July 2017. We will be joined by our son, Dean, when we emigrate late 2018.
The peace and quiet of the back garden makes you forget you are in a town! We are walking distance from the best day- and evening restaurants in town.
