Home away from home with family you have never met before.

Ons is bederf! Daniel het ons soos familie laat voel. Die huis is pragtig. Ons kamers was ruim en goed toegerus, ook met aircon en verwarmers om die Karoo-koue te help hanteer. Die grootste hoogtepunt was 'n ontbyt geskik vir 'n koning! Beslis 'n skat wat ons ontdek het waarheen ons weer en weer sal wil terugkeer!

Home away from home with family you have never met before.

We are spoiled! Daniel made us feel like family. The house is beautiful. Our rooms were spacious and well equipped, also with aircon and heaters to help cope with the Karoo cold. The biggest highlight was a breakfast fit for a king! Definitely a treasure we discovered that we will want to return to again and again!

Will be back! Loved it and enjoyed the chats with our very gracious hosts.

Most enjoyable stay with lovely hosts who did everything we asked for. We cannot recommend Oakdene Guest House enough. The coffee and breakfast were great, the room spacious and big, and the garden green and luscious. We will definitely stay there again.

Vriendelike ontvangs en puik diens.

Uiters vriendelik en hartlik ontvang. Het gevoel asof ek by vriende kuier. Gasvrou bak die lekkerste brood om te bedien by ontbyt. Hoogs aan te beveel.

Die gebou skep 'n baie goeie indruk, het voldoen aan verwagtinge, met vriendelike en behulpsame gasheer en gasvrou as bonus.

Dié geskiedkundige blyplek bied 'n rustige en aangename atmosfeer om heerlik te ontspan. Omdat die gebou so oud is, is dringende onderhoud nodig om dit af te rond (wat die gasheer gesê het sal binnekort aandag kry). Die hangkas in kamer 2 het 'n lekkerruikmiddel nodig, en die badkamer verg beter ventilasie. Die sentrale ligging dra by dat so te sê alle besienswaardighede in die dorp binne loopafstand is. Ons het lekke gebly!

The building gives a good impression, met our needs, with friendly and helpful host and hostess as a bonus.

This historic residence offers a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere to relax. Because the building is so old, urgent maintenance is needed to finish it (which the host said will soon receive attention). The wardrobe in room 2 needs something that smells good, and the bathroom needs better ventilation. The central location contributes to virtually all the attractions in the town within walking distance. We had a good stay!

Expected more from a 4 star guest house.

Although the garden, porch and pool area were nice, I was disappointed with the room. The room is very cramped and dark. The 2 pillows on the bed were thin and hard. It was excruciatingly hot but I couldn't sleep with the air conditioning on as it was blowing right at me. The duvet on the bed was too warm to sleep under as it was 39 degrees on Wednesday, but there was no flat sheet on the bed. It was clean and tidy.

Stylvol, rustig, romanties.

Ideaal geleë met veilige parkering, was hierdie plekkie 'n groot verrassing. Houtvloere en meubels, pragtige dekor en atmosfeer. Die bestuurderes was baie behulpsaam nadat ons 'n pakkie moes pos van ons huis af, die ontbyt was ook waarde vir geld. Sal weer hier oorslaap.

Comfortable stay. Friendly service. Good breakfast.

We were only staying for one night for a business trip. This was a good place as it was within walking distance to good restaurants for dinner. The host was helpful and friendly and there is free wifi for guests which is useful for catching up on work emails etc.
