Old Oak Manor is a splendid guesthouse situated in Riebeek Kasteel, in the heart of some of the most beautiful scenery in South Africa. The building itself is one of the oldest houses in the area, built around 1860. The guesthouse was named after the oldest oak tree on the property (estimated to be 180 years old). The other old oak on the property, which is estimated at about 150 years, provides a welcome shade to the restaurant outside area.
Old Oak Guest House has four en-suite bedrooms respectively called Tara, Julius, Misty and Felix and are named after the owners' cats. The two bigger rooms, named after the two "fat cats" Tara and Julius, are located at the back of the house and open onto a patio leading to the swimming pool.
These bedrooms have a double bed and spacious bathroom with free standing Victorian bath and shower. The other two rooms, named after the two "sleek cats" Felix and Misty, are respectively located to the side and front of the house. These bedrooms also have double beds with an en-suite bathroom containing a shower. This same relaxed style of décor was used here. All rooms have wall heaters for the cold winter nights.
The Wedding suite is located above the restaurant. This spacious living area consists of a lounge, bedroom and en-suite bathroom and contains a double bed and two-day beds. DSTV, tea/coffee facilities, and an honesty bar are available in the loft. Room service can be ordered from the restaurant during normal open hours. With its special interior, this space is very popular as a honeymoon suite and has been the focal point of many interior shoots for local and international magazines.
