Wonderful Guest Lodge well located in Oudtshoorn

The hosts were really helpful in providing details about local attractions which made our experience in Oudtshoorn unforgettable. The breakfast is excellent - wish I could go back for more. Watching the sunset from the deck was amazing. The rooms were very clean and the extra little touches like washing the car added to the overall experience. I would definitely recommend Riverside Lodge to friends and family.

Loved the room. Spacious, yet cosy. The complimentary sherry was a nice touch. The breakfast was delicious and the atmosphere out on the deck was very relaxing.

a wonderful discovery

It was a wonderful discovery. The chalet is beautifully decorated — you truly feel transported to the Alps. An enormous fireplace creates a warm, cosy atmosphere that keeps the chill at bay. Our host has a remarkable eye for detail, both in the décor and in all the little amenities provided. Highly recommended.

Fantastic guest house close to town. Albert and Elza are great hosts. Breakfast and room was good. Loved that they have your car washed at the start of the day for you.

This has to be the ONLY place to stay in Outshoorn.

We couldn't believe how lucky we were to find this accommodation! Albert and Elza were welcoming hosts, our room was extremely comfortable and every little detail had been considered. Breakfast on the terrace was a treat.
