EnquireOue Werf is a beautiful authentic farm guesthouse that has been in the same family for 6 generations, tracing its routes back to 1857. There is a lovely rural atmosphere, with open agricultural and mountain scenery, relaxed gardens and traditional Cape Dutch architecture. Oue Werf is set in a small hamlet 12 km from Oudtshoorn and 15 km from the Cango Caves.
Within the gardens, in addition to the requisite ostrich, there is a basic salt water swimming pool, damn, farm shop and café. A hearty farm breakfast is served either on the patio overlooking the picturesque mountain views or in the dining room. Home cooked country dinners are available, or you can braai (the guesthouse provides the bbq and fuel, you provide the food). There are also several cracking restaurants in Oudtshoorn itself.
Oue Werf has 8 rooms in the garden, each with its own private entrance and small terrace. All rooms have an air-conditioning / heater unit and are en-suite (some only have showers, some have bath and showers). There are 5 further rooms in the manor house.
For Families: With plenty of space, relaxed gardens, swimming pool and small play-ground attached to the farm shop, Oue Werf is an excellent option for families. Families can choose adjoining rooms, or a family room sleeps five in an adjoining double and triple room with own private entrance. This is a characterful family run guesthouse and parents should warn their children against the home-made tower and zip-wire running over the damn.
Hi Lisa, We had a fabulous time thank you. The accommodation and other ideation were all terrific - that’s so much for your help. The apartment in Cape Town was particularly good - we would never have found that: Boschendal was great as well and game lodge was superb. Thanks again, Alistair

Dear Lisa,
We have just returned from South Africa and wanted to pass on our huge thanks for helping to organise such a fantastic holiday. The entire trip was amazing - accommodation was first class. The safari was incredible!
We'll be sure to get in touch when we're next planning an adventure!
Best wishes, Ed & Jane

Can't praise tour dust enough, they helped us to create a holiday of a lifetime that has given us family memories we will treasure forever. From start to finish the whole experience was exactly what we wanted and more. Due to covid we waited 2 and a half years for this trip but worth the wait.
