De Poort Country Lodge, hotel in Oudtshoorn

Only 10 km from the famous Cango Caves, De Poort Country Lodge offers self-catering accommodation. A continental breakfast is available on order at an extra charge and only available as room service....

The cozy little oasis is beautifully designed, and we felt right at home as soon as we arrived. The moment you pass through the lush driveway and enter the property, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. Elna, the lovely host welcomed us with such kindness, immediately providing us with all the tips we needed for exploring the area. She even helped us out with a small request right away, which truly saved our stay. Elna embodies the essence of South African hospitality, the kind of person you’d love to have a friendly chat with. The rooms are cozy and perfectly equipped, complete with a small kitchen, making them an ideal setup.

What a fantastic experience, we were warmly welcomed by staff, signed in and taken on a tour of the facilities and then to our room.

Do try the picnic basket, this was a wonderful end to our holiday. Staff always available to assist with ideas and all were friendly.

De Oude Meul Country Lodge & Restaurant, hotel in Oudtshoorn

Located with the backdrop of the Swartberg Mountains, Oude Meul is en route to the Cango Caves. The property features 2 pools among extensive native gardens.

The fact that you see these beautiful mountains ahead of you when you arrive at the front gate just screams Fantasy! It was out in the open, perfect weather, perfect location. Green, soft, airy. There are lots to do on the property, swimming pools, ostriches and even a cute labrador pup that is welcoming everyone. The property and rooms are very clean and well designed with a modern look. Which I love! Beds are soft and comfy. When you walk into the rooms there is a lovely clean and fresh scent that enters your body. That is something I will never forget.

    Super overnight stop over in really comfy rooms - the beds were great. The setting is beautiful with lovely views and walks. Could happily have stayed for a few days. Carina booked us all ( 7 of us) in for dinner at Buffelsdrif game lodge, which was absolutely stunning. Thank you for a great stay.

    Our two days are Klein Karoo Game Lodge were absolutely fantastic. The service was excellent. We loved the location and the free-roaming animals. The spacious and modern mountain-view rooms were a pleasant surprise. The highlight for our family was the animals!

    Beautifully quiet and peaceful location with springbok and meerkats regularly coming by to say hello! Despite the very rural location, some way down a gravel track from the owners house, it felt very secure. We ate at Bella Cibo, which was excellent and at Nostalgia which had excellent service and lovely South African dishes. Both were extremely busy and reservations are definitely advisable.  We also loved eating dinner and breakfast at Buffelsdrift Game Lodge, overlooking the water hole, where we saw both hippo and giraffe!

    It was very exciting staying at a safari lodge. Animals roamed freely and we could drive/ walk amongst the animals. The restaurant serves lovely food and pool was great to sit by to enjoy drinks.

    A mountain retreat which feels like 5 star treatment. The owners looked after us personally and made sure we did not want for anything.we viewed the wild animal feeding from the terrace with drinks whilst warmed by the log fire. Dinner and breakfast was delicious again with great service . The rooms were a short stroll away under a clear starlit sky which was awesome The room was like your personal safari lodge with a super mountain view and sightings of the wildlife including a giraffe.

    The lodge is nicely located, close to Oudtshoorn but it still feels like in the middle of nature. The staff members were very kind and helpful. We stayed in a charming bungalow next to a little pond, it was a different kind of lodging experience which was nice. We enjoyed the food at the restaurant and breakfast was good, too. It‘s nice to go for a walk around the hotel to see the different animals.

    Breakfast was superb, array of choice from bacon and eggs to fresh pastry’s and yogurt with fruit and cold meats and cheese. Staff were welcoming and friendly - special mention to Xavier who stood out! The lodge itself was superb! Can’t beat waking up in nature with the birds singing and hippos communicating! View from our tent was tops and special mention to Juan our guide on the bush safari - what a great experience and Tiaan our guide on the Meerkat experience. We really felt treated and relaxed 😎 didn’t want to leave!
