88 Baron van Reede Gästehaus

88 Baron van Reede Guesthouse is an unique Victorian sandstone building with high ceilings, original wooden floors. Located in the heart of Oudtshoorn with jacaranda trees lining Baron van Reede Street, the guesthouse has plenty of good restaurants and shops within a safe walking distance.

Decorated in warm earthy colours and homely décor, there are plenty of areas to either warm in front of a fireplace on a chilly winter evening with a book or sipping refreshments on the front verandah or on hot days recline on sun loungers after a dip in the crystal clear pool.

We offer 10 clean and comfortable rooms with shower en-suite, quality white linen and plenty of towels. All rooms are located away from the street and each with their own entrance. There are 3 room types giving great value for money. The 4 Stoep/Verandah rooms are spacious rooms, with a choice of a king or twin beds. French doors open out onto a private verandah overlooking a small garden.

Guests can relax outside reading a book or catching up on local events on the free WiFi. There is plenty of wardrobe space, a stylish en-suite bathroom with twin basins, a large shower and a separate toilet. Air-conditioning and a stocked fridge add more comfort to the rooms. The 4 cosy and comfortable Barn rooms have en-suite showers with a choice of a queen or twin (2 single) beds.

The Barn Rooms open out towards the pool, where guests can sit and relax outside the rooms or on sun loungers around the pool. Guests who are more energetic can ascend the steep staircase leading to the 2 Barn Loft rooms. The Triple Loft room is a spacious room, with a choice of a king bed and a single bed or 3 single beds, suitable for couples with a child (12 years and older), or travelling friends.

The Double Loft room has a double bed with a small shower en-suite, suitable for couples. Velex windows in both rooms, make them light and airy. Air-conditioning and a stocked fridge add more comfort in the summer months.

With 88 reasons to visit Oudtshoorn you will want to stay longer than one night. Where else can you ride an ostrich, crawl in a cave, pet a cheetah, swim in a waterfall, watch hippos at a waterhole, enjoy lunch at a winery and drive over the majestic Swartberg Mountains.
