Location: South Africa » Western Cape » Little Karoo » Route 62 » OudtshoornMooiplaas Guest HouseMooiplaas Guest House is set on a private ostrich farm in the hills just outside Oudtshoorn.DescriptionThere is a farm in the heart of the Klein Karoo…where time stands still…where grassy plains meet the blue sky and where the sun sets in an explosion of colour over the great Swartberg Mountains. Hanlie and Viljee Keller invite you to enjoy the warm hospitality of their luxury four-star cape-dutch style guest house, Mooiplaas (meaning ‘beautiful farm’).
The thirteen double suites have been tastefully decorated. They are spacious and luxurious with big comfy beds, large en suite bathrooms, private lounge area with large flat screen TV, honesty fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, air conditioning and separate entrances with ample secure parking - everything you need to enjoy and relax. Free wi fi internet access is available too, if you have to check your email!
We have three types of suites: the Superior/Honeymoon Suites are just right for a honeymooners or romantic getaway with someone special; the Family Suites are perfect for families with two to three children; and the Luxury Double Suites are ideal for holidaymakers and business travelers.
Start your day with a traditional farmhouse breakfast and at the end of the day enjoy a candlelit braai – both are specialities at Mooiplaas. We’ll also prepare light meals and picnic baskets for you (dinner and light meals by prior arrangement). We'll advice you on where to eat out and be happy to make a reservation for you at one of the fine local restaurants.
Activities available are hiking/walking, jogging, mountain bikes, and swimming pool. Don’t miss a private tour of our ostrich farm where you will learn interesting facts about ostriches and the famous feather industry. Get up close to these curious birds and feel the thrill of seeing a baby chick peck its way into this brand new world. Our on-site registered tour guide is available to help you plan your trips in the area.
