A few minutes drive from oudtshoorn with welcoming bougainvillea hedges lies Mooiplaas guest house. Par excellence is the only work I have for this place. Rooms were superbly decorated with their own little sitting spaces behind and had a long corridor with a fire place and comfy sofas to lounge around. Breathtaking views of the Outeniqua Mountains and being in... More

This guest house is a 10-15 minutes drive from the town of Oudtshoorn. More like a farm stay the Mooiplaas is in a picturesque setting surrounded by numerous farms and offers a delightful stay. Take a stroll around sunset/sunrise with your camera and you will be richly rewarded with beautiful pictures. There are 19 rooms, a pool and a restaurant... More

We stayed at the Mooiplaas Guesthouse in Oudtshoorn in November 2011. We arrived as the sun was setting and sat down to an amazing dinner of ostrich steak (which is not at all like chicken, and in fact was the best "steak" we've ever tasted!). The guesthouse was lovely with large, clean, comfortable rooms, and friendly hosts. Just down the... More

Dear Frankiems10 Thank you for your review. I would like to clarify the situation that you commented on about the absence of ostriches. Firstly, and most importantly, I appreciate your disappointment and deeply regret it. There are no ostriches in the immediate area of the guest house area right now because of the H5N2 virus (several months back in May)... More
