Beautiful clean and neat - BIG thumbs up 👍👍
Awesome place to stay at. You will not be dissapointed. Place was very clean and it actually took us by surprise that such a beautiful, neat and clean place can be found just outside Oudsthoorn. Stayed only one night but will definitely return should I find myself in that part of the country again. 10/10

Die Fonteine guest house!! Must stay!!
This is such a nice and quiet guest paradise and caters formal rooms as well as 2 glamping tented suites if one feel like outdoor camping. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning and high speed wifi 👌. Amenities like coffee, tea , shampoo etc are also included. Very impressed with the " honesty bar" where you can help yourself to beverages and either deposit the money into a cash can or write it up against your room no and settle it on departure. Breakfast was also delicious including assorted cereals, home made bread and preserves. The swimming pool was sparkling clean and a must in the hot summer days. Situated very close to several wedding venues, game ranch and local wine farm, this is a must stay. We will definately be back!

The gardens are beautiful and picturesque. The property is a bit set back and the approach drive is very narrow. Parking is an issue .
This was our second stay At this property.

Peaceable kingdom
Die Fontaine is a hidden gem in a tranquil country setting, whose hosts excel in hospitality. Our room, one of six, was cozy, beautiful, and immaculate, with a clawfoot tub in the modern bathroom. The beautifully landscaped grounds feature a swimming pool, aviaries, and more. Stay here for a respite from the craziness.

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Bed und Breakfast inSt in einen schönen Garten integriert. Die Unterkunft befindet sich 14 KM ausserhalb von Oudtshoorn Richtung Cango Caves. Cango Caves und der Swartbergpass sind in 15 Min. mit dem Auto erreichbar. Die Cango Ostrich Farm ist in 5 Min. zu Guss zu erreichen Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich

It was one of the nicest places we stayed in on our 3-week trip. The room was very clean and nicely decorated with a great eye for detail, and had everything we needed. The garden was really great to relax for a bit. But most of all the owners were such friendly and warm people! Braai dinner was the highlight of our stay here and also the first time we tried ostrich meat :) We wished we could've stayed a bit longer and would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Superb guesthouse.
This is a superb guesthouse set in glorious gardens with a great hostess. Breakfast is excellent, with terrific coffee and homemade breads. The rooms all have privacy and are absolutely clean. The swimming pool is natural with great recliners. Dinner is served should you not want to go out at night. We loved our 2 night stay.

Gorgeous guesthouse in the countryside
This lovely guesthouse is located about 15 minutes outside of Oudtshoorn center, with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and countryside. We were very glad that we stayed here instead of inside the town center. The only downside was that the pool was a bit dirty, which might be a result of the water shortage in the region.

Very clean and well equipped guest house
We stayed in a room away from the main building, near to the pool. We didn't use the pool as it was a bit cold when we stayed. The breakfast was excellent. The only negative thing to say it was a bit difficult to find in the dark.

An outstanding b&b outside the town odd Oudtshoorn
A lovely stay at this bed and breakfast. Outstanding view of the valley. Lovely greeting with a decanter of sherry in the room. Swimming pool and sun loungers in the back garden were a great extra. Evening dinner offered, which was very pleasant and the afternoon carrot cake delightful!
