Mooiplaas Guesthouse

Excellent stay with our family at Mooiplaas Ostrich Farm! The staff were very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

.

We never got to stay as the hotel had no record of our booking even though I had paid through hotels.com and had confirmation. I cannot therefore review the stay but I can say it looked very nice!

Excellent guest house with lots of space. Service is great as well. Highly recommended.

Nice place and great pool. Didn’t like the fact that you only have a set menu and no real choice. Basically food in Oudtshoorn is very meat oriented. Internet and Wi-Fi is really bad.

We loved it and food wine etc was all good. Service was very good maybe a little too attentive at times and if relaxed a little it would feel more comfortable . But saying that all the staff were above and beyond caring and helpful even funny at times . We loved it here so thank you our first stay on an ostrich farm which was interesting especially when we ordered it for our evening meal. Thankfully when it was dark we could eat on the terrace without seeing our feather friends just a step away. We loved the area so peaceful and time to chill after our hectic schedule xx

Very spacious & comfortable Rms with excellent staff & facilities .. Outstanding Fixed Menu Dinner with personalized services from the Dining staff who were always eager to satisfy .. Great Breakfast ... Very Good value for money ... Highly recommended ...

We were advised to visit the area, which involved a detour off the Garden Route. Mooiplaas is a great hotel, part of an ostrich farm. Some lovely touches wiith a cool drink presented on arrival and a small decanter of port was left in the room. Rooms are large and well equipped with a small patio to the front offering nice views. Lovely infinity pool.Breakfast is included and continental and full English on offer. The local town is 15 minutes drive but has little to offer. The main attraction other than ostriches is the Cango caves.

Our stay was comfortable and we had a great time It must be said that the availability of management was non existent and the staff seemed overwhelmed at times. The staff where incredible however did not seem well trained to meet the requirements of 4 star grade. The staff where always willing to help and I must compliment them If you’re able to look past this then this is a fantastic place to launch excursions into the Karoo. Wonderful location, views and place to stay with comfortable rooms, great pools and good ambience in the evenings

Easy way to experience the Cango Caves, Ostrich farms and Scenic Game drive. Wonderful evening with drinks around a large campfire.

It was winter lull and we were the only guests. However, staff in the restaurant were very nice and made dinner for us as well as set up a beautiful Breakfast buffet the next morning. Room was nice but can get a little cold in winter.

Loved the location and the friendly staff. The pool was an added bonus. View over mountains was stunning. The aroma of the charcoal grill cooked dinner very inviting as well.

Andre was the best host ever! he gave our kids toys, made sure everyone had a good time and the breakfast was the best!!

Beautiful views and lovely rooms , shame about the service and food which varied from good to terrible. They need a staff training programme.

Spent two nights here at this excellent guest house, what a great place to chill. We had the end room in their new accommodation across the room from the main building. Would totally recommend. Check in was warm and efficient with a nice cool drink and lots of great info. Rooms were excellent in every respect. Good mini-bar at realistic prices too.... We had an evening meal at the main house that was good value and the lamb was excellent. Letticia our waitress was so nice, so professional and fun. Woke up in the morning and our car had been washed. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice in a lovely environment. Great little pool for cooling off, but sitting on the veranda watching a lightening storm pass over the Karoo was superb. This really is a good choice for a stop. The staff especially at the annex were superb. Great place, great staff and great value.

Great stay with two young kids. Nice location close to town. Room was big and comfortable. There was a separate room with kitchenette, couch and TV leading to a small patio, so we had plenty of space. The bathroom had both a large shower and lovely bath. We went into town for dinner as we were worried our kids wouldn't sit through a large, sit down meal.

We had an lovely room and covered porch, with a small living room and huge bathroom. Decor was new but nothing to write home about. Food was solidly good and service was excellent. It's a fixed price menu which doesn't give a vegetarian many options (overcooked pasta), but my husband had a delicious ostrich steak that he raved about. This place is a little far out of town but quite lovely.

We had a beautiful stay, from the room to the food to the hosts. We absolutely loved it. The farm together with the staff was very child friendly and extremely accomodating

Tremendous value for money. Really friendly and efficient staff. Couldn't have been better!

Wir hatten uns sehr auf unsere Honeymoon Suite gefreut. Leider wurden wir enttäuscht. Wir hatten viele Spinnen auf dem Bett/ auf den Kissen. Das Personal war sehr bemüht und hat direkt reagiert um das Thema zu beheben. Uns wurde mitgeteilt, das die Betten frisch bezogen wurden, alle Spinnen im Raum weggesaugt wurden und auch kein Insektenspray (darum hatte ich gebeten) verwendet wurde. Leider waren die Kissen/ Betten nicht neu bezogen und eine Raum-/Insektenspray kam auch zum Einsatz. Immerhin waren die Spinnen weg. Das Bett war OK. Das Bad war recht modern und sauber, der restliche Raum war eher verwohnt. Die Terrasse war nicht gefegt und die Sitzkissen hatten Stock. Wir wollten die schöne Aussicht nach dem Abendessen dort nicht genießen. Eine Honeymoon Suite stellt man sich anders vor. Loben muss man die Bemühungen des Personals um uns unseren Aufenthalt angenehm zu gestalten. Wir wurden am Abend zu einer Flasche Wein eingeladen, was wir auch zu schätzen wussten. Das Essen war gut. Die Sauberkeit im Restaurant auf dem Tisch/ Salz-/Pfefferstreuer, Besteck und Teller war nicht gegeben. Haben wir beim Abendessen noch darüber hinweg gesehen hat es uns beim Frühstück doch sehr gestört. Beide Pools waren trübe, wir wollten dort nicht baden. Es war bei der Buchung nicht ersichtlich, das das Guesthouse aus 2 voneinander getrennten (ca. 500m) Guesthäusern gehört. Auch wenn wirklich alle bemüht waren, hat es für uns im Endergebnis nicht gereicht. Wir würden nicht wieder kommen.
