Oue Werf Country House Reviews
“We’ve been there for the 4th time and hopefully not the last. Very nice guesthouse, nice rooms, excellent breakfast and dinners. Very friendly staff. Location is perfect and close to e.g. Cango Caves, Swartberg Pass and Oudtshoorn.”-Brave315
“What a surprise to be staying on a small farm, complete with double front door. The grounds are beautiful and the breakfast was very good. Also, it is within a short walk to the ostrich farm which is definitely a must see.”-Arlene001
“We had a lovely 2 night stay here. The setting was beautiful, with a lovely garden and views of surrounding farm and pond. And the meals were the best we had during our holiday. We strongly recommend!”-Marianne H
“Our stay, as a family of four, at the guesthouse was lovely! It is on spacious compound in a very scenic environment, and the food and hospitality were great. We stayed in a cottage with our own private garden in front. We can definitely recommend it!”-JvD_AA
