It was a pleasure staying at the guest house. The rooms/suites are large and spacious. Large grounds for children to play and adults to relax. The food was excellent. Do keep in mind that you have to convey your dining requirements in the afternoon itself. A couple of other points to keep in mind. The place is quite far from... More

We arrived at La Plume at the end of our trip along Route 62. This elegant guest house with its stilish interior decoration takes you back in the 1800s! The scenery around was amazing, I enjoyed a beautiful sunset sipping my welcome drink sitting on the veranda, that faces the splendid garden in front of the guest house. The room... More

We loved this little gem- after a long hot drive from Cape town it was bliss to sit by the pool with a beer. the views over the klien karoo were beautiful and the stars were spectacular. Dinners were good- in particular ( not surprisingly!) the ostrich steaks. We had two lovely rooms with huge bathrooms and king size beds-... More

We stayed for only one night, which is my biggest regret! Greeting on arrival, evening meal and breakfast all exceeded expectations. What a nice place to stay. Well done to all the staff.

Spent a night here. Lovely gardens and setting about 10mins outside Outshoorn. Rooms were tastefully decorated and they had a cheap mini-bar. The staff were friendly and very welcoming. We had a delicious evening meal here. There ostrich steak was amazing.

La Plume, Oudtshoorn After a 6 hour drive down the picturesque R62, we were disappointed, and quite cross, to find that because we had not pre-booked, they were unable to accommodate us for an evening meal. Apparently they do not have enough place settings for all their guests!! However, neither we nor others were asked if we were prepared to... More

Breakfast is traditional:- juice, fruit, cereals, cooked breakfast... More
