We've just enjoyed a most wonderful 4 day break at this very beautiful place in the Cederbergs. The 5 straw-bale huts are fantastic, completely private, spacious and spotlessly clean. Each hut has its own verandah and looks down on the river which is wonderful for swimming. There are also lovely river pools a little further away so there is no... More

It really is heaven on earth, we have never stayed anywhere like Oudrif before. Situated in the Cederberg Wilderness miles from anywhere on the banks of the Doring River (perfect for swimming) Oudrif is genuinely astounding. Bill & Jeanine are perfect, attentive hosts, whipping up delightful rustic meals, and the solar-powered straw-bale cottages (there are only 5) are spotless and... More

Lovely, private and spacious rooms which were spotlessly clean. Peace and quiet, delicious food and fantastic hosts. What more could you ask for? We thoroughly relaxed at Oudrif and will be back. Bill and Jeanine go the extra mile to make sure you enjoy your stay. Thank you both.

Oudrif is an absolute gem, situated miles from anywhere it is the perfect place to get away to and unwind. Bill and Jeanine are the perfect hosts and their home cooking is an absolute delight. The cottages are amazingly constructed from straw bales, large and kept spotleesly clean, the boma area is where all the guests meet for meals and... More

There are times during a lifetime that one feels very privilaged. That is how we felt to have discovered and experienced Oudrif. A magical place, miles from anywhere, full of atmosphere, peace and wonderful hospitality from Bill and Jeanine. All five cottages were occupied during our stay and whilst we had had some reservations about our stay in such a... More

This was our second trip to Oudrif in a matter of months. We really enjoyed the time we spent here in April and since we had already booked into one of the other lodges in the area for the flower season at the end of August we decided that another visit to Oudrif would fit in nicely. We had been... More

We spent a long weekend relaxing at Ou Drif with 2 other couples. Bill and Jeanine are great hosts, the accommodation is comfortable and the food was fabulous. A great place for a weekend away. We went on 2 walks with Bill and enjoyed his stories about the numerous Bushman paintings we saw.

Our group of six friends spent three days at Oudrif. What a beautiful place! Oudrif is a long way from anywhere, about an hour's drive from Clanwilliam, nestled next to the Doring River. The five straw bale chalets are very clean and comfortable, each has a solar panel charging a battery which powers the lights. Hot water is from a... More

A unique experience in an amazingly isolated location with a wonderful stark beauty. Chalet built out of hay bales and furnished beautifully inside. Wonderfully prepared food served around a shared table at night by friendly hosts. Out here you can really see the stars. This is a special place. We went there in late 2008 and would recommend a 4... More
