After a long drive we arrived at the 'hotel' down a long dusty driveway. The welcome was abysmal. The room supposedly one of their best was laughable!! Furniture and decor was too bad be to be true. The room was dirty and a notice on the wall apologised for the smell of sulphur!! The evening meal was barely edible and... More

We were on our way from the Garden Route to Cape Town, and at a friend’s recommendation, stayed for two delightful nights at the very lovely and peaceful DeZeeko (superior room), where we had a fantastically enjoyable time. The place definitely is a highlight of our trip to South Africa. We got to know Paula, the owner, and her husband,... More

Was well enjoyed and even though we only stayed for one night. We intend to go again though next time we will definitely go stay in the rooms and not the cabins. Road noise was a little loud for our taste. The staff where kind enough to see to almost all our needs. Breakfast was enjoyable and varied and everyone... More

We stayed here only for 1 night which was a mistake - two nights would have been better - while en-route from CapeTown to P.E. Our room was lovely (see photo) with a varandah looking over the bed of the Olifant river. We ate in the restaurant, the meel was good and not (to my mind) overly priced. The sunset... More

We stayed in one of their lake lodges which was rustic and charming. The staff were all very helpful and meals in the main building delicious. We opted for a Meerkat encounter and had a very exciting morning watching them emerge from their burrows, expensive but worth it. We would have loved to stay longer and explore more.

We visited twice within four weeks. First time we chose the rooms near the main building and found them spacious, well equipped and comfortable. Second time we sampled the more rustic chalets at the lake and again were well satisfied. The pool area at the main building is very pleasant. Juanita was particularly helpful to make our stays enjoyable. Breakfast... More

Warm hospitality, good service, very nice room but dinner was terribly overprized! Breakfast was average. The sunrise experience meeting the Meerkats is on the other hand worth the money.

De Zeekoe is a guest farm perfectly located close to Oudshoorn and other attractions in the region. The farm is beautiful with spectacular views of the mountains. TIP: make time to cycle or walk on the farm. We were traveling in a small group, and upon arrival things got a bit haywire. There was a lot of confusion with room... More

Dear Boereklonkie Apologies from our side that you experienced a disappointing visit on our farm. We recently employed 2 new reservation ladies, who sadly - wasn’t capable at that stage to do a proper job. As management we were never notified that there were any problems regarding this booking. However this is no excuse for poor service and again our... More
