Rosenhof Boutique Hotel

On the outskirts of Oudtshoorn, en route to the Cango Caves and the town’s famous ostrich farms. This 5-star boutique country house sits minutes from Cango Wildlife Ranch and a short drive to the city center, perfect for exploring the Klein Karoo.

Housed in a carefully renovated homestead (circa 1852) with yellowwood beams, antique furniture and a fragrant rose garden, the property feels authentic and intimate. There are 14 individually decorated rooms with heated floors, premium bedding, private patios and LCD/LED TVs, plus two Executive Suites with private pools, lounges and Swartberg views. Cozy pubs and lounges with fireplaces showcase South African artwork.

Unwind at a full-service Wellness Centre offering spa treatments, massages, facials, a sauna, hot tub and a fully equipped gym. Swim in indoor and outdoor pools (including a saltwater outdoor pool), lounge under parasols in the manicured gardens and use the complimentary shuttle within 5 km to local sights. Expect a warm lobby fireplace and concierge service to book tours.

Practical extras include a computer station, tour/ticket assistance, dry cleaning and laundry, multilingual staff and complimentary self-parking. Complimentary wireless high-speed internet keeps you connected throughout the property.

Dine at Rosenhof Restaurant for fine dining with a bar/lounge, or order room service during limited hours. A complimentary English breakfast is served daily in a sunny room overlooking the gardens, and guests are invited to a daily reception; afternoon tea in the garden is a popular, relaxed option.
