Hotels near Schoemanshoek Glamping, Oudtshoorn

Beautiful setup with breathtaking views. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. Excellent service. Highly recommend Buffelsdrift Game Lodge. We left very relaxed. We enjoyed great massages and safaris. Our only disappointment was the food. Such a great place to visit but I really didn’t enjoy the a la cart menu.

Stayed in one of the rondevels. Nice room but found a small cockroach in the bathroom and as usual, with the thatched type roofs, bits of debris fall through. Had a buffet meal in the restaurant, very poor value compared with other meals purchased in S Africa. Not much choice, cold plates for hot food; don't bother eating here, you will be ripped off because they have you captive, away from any other viable food source. Suggest buying some snacks before you arrive to eat in your room. Although our room was very cold until the air con warmed up and the power went off altogether at one point. Breakfast okay but basic. Only high point, very good offer on G&T in the Bar! Also, staff very nice and pleasant, especially the barman, who had also helped to check us in and serve in the restaurant. Full marks to him for friendliness. Nice open fire in the bar too. Warmest place in the hotel, as we had rain and cool weather during our holiday here.

In our 4 week touring holiday of SA we have not had such a lovely welcome to a guest house as we did here. You really felt that you had arrived home and being greeted by long lost friends. We booked this purely by accident after trying to get in La Plume for 3 nights and them only being able to do 2. As it was our first trip to SA we were trying to get the hotels/guest houses with a restaurant for an evening meal so as we did not have to go out in the evening or drive anywhere. We were shown around the lovely property and to our room, for unfortunately only one night! And the daughter of the owners explained everything to us including giving us all the information for the area which was great and saved us having to hunt out the tourist information centre in town. The room was spotless clean, comfortable bed, decent shower, had a mini fridge stocked with lots of different beers, wine and soft drinks (not free, an honesty bar)! The house itself is such a lovely property and so nice to have breakfast in the dining room, all beautifully laid out. The owners were always present and chatting to their guests, calling them by their first names and I am ashamed to say I can not remember theirs, I have always been terrible with names, but I will remember their faces and their welcome for a very long time to come. There are 2 really good restaurants within a short and sale walking distance, we ate at Nostalgie which was good and very quirky but Jemmimas also looked very good and of course I believe their were other restaurants in town. Would highly recommend if you want the feeling of staying with family and friends. Lovely swimming pool area also and ideal base for doing all the things in this area.
