De Oude Meul Country Lodge  

Tucked in Schoemanshoek on the river just outside Oudtshoorn, this 4-star country lodge sits about a 15-minute drive from the Cango Caves and Cango Ostrich Ranch. Karusa Vineyards and Buffelsdrift Game Lodge are also nearby, and the property is roughly 2 km from the town center.

The lodge offers 31 air-conditioned rooms with private patios or balconies, LCD TVs with satellite channels, refrigerators and some rooms with stovetops/kitchens. Rooms include safes, separate sitting areas and daily housekeeping, with terraces and gardens for river views—wake up to river-breeze mornings and a relaxed country vibe.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, fire up a braai at the barbecue area, or kick back on the terrace and in the garden; a bar and restaurant keep evenings easy. Concierge and a tour desk can book local excursions, free self-parking is onsite, and complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected; babysitting/childcare (surcharge) and wedding services add family-friendly and event-ready touches.

A business center, conference center and two meeting rooms are available, supported by multilingual staff and dry-cleaning/laundry services, with complimentary wireless Internet for meetings and work.

Enjoy satisfying meals at the on-site restaurant and drinks at the bar/lounge; a buffet breakfast is offered daily (fee applies).
