Ouplaas FGH was the best gem ever, in the countryside!

What a wonderful place to stay. It really was an oasis to be at, especially after our long day and week. They served very good coffee. We were even spoilt with coffee in bed. Awesome! We enjoyed a lovely breakfast and were sorry we could not fit in dinner. You just have to arrange in advance for meals. The attention to detail was very good. The hosts were so helpful and we felt spoiled. Thank you! We will definitely visit you again.

One of our best stays ever.

This is one of those places where the owners take hospitality seriously. One is truly a guest. The house is very nice, grand, one might say. Dinner and breakfast, homemade almost gourmet.

Pragtige verblyf op die Ouplaas Farm Guest House.

Ons het die verblyf baie geniet. Die pragtig gemeubileerde plaashuis met 'n antieke atmosfeer was ongelooflik. Die ontbyt en aandete wat ons bespreek het, was smaaklik en deftig voorgesit. Baie dankie vir die gasvryheid en dat julle ons tuis laat voel het. Sal vir seker weer bespreek.

Uitstekende verblyf. Pragtige en vriendelike eienaars. Doen gestand aan hulle leuse van jy kom soontoe vir rustigheid.

Die was ons eerste stop op 'n toer na Kaapstad. Die standard daar gestel was so hoog dat ons besef het dat dit onmoontlik vir ander gastehuise sal weesom dit te oortref. Dit is toe ook so bewys.

Excellent stay. Beautiful and friendly owners. Live up to their motto of you come there for tranquility.

It was our first stop on a tour to Cape Town. The standard set there was so high that we realized that it would be impossible for other guesthouses to surpass it. It was also proven to be so.

Dit was die rustigste mooiste plek waar ons in 'n lang tyd gebly het.

Oom Koert het laat die aand nadat ons van 'n funksie gekom het heerlike koffie gemaak, en weer volgende oggend koffie in die kamer bedien. Hul sal ons defnitief weer sien. Dit voel of jy by jou eie familie gaan kuier. Mooi groot sandsteen huis, met die mooiste fynste dekor. Baie sorg en moeite.

It was the most peaceful, beautiful place we have stayed in a long time.

Oom Koert made delicious coffee late in the evening after we came from a function, and served coffee in the room again the next morning. They will definitely see us again. It feels like you are visiting your own family. Nice big sandstone house, with the most beautiful and fine decor. A lot of care and effort.

Lekker, aangenaam, goeie waarde vir geld, heerlike bederf.

Ons het ons verblyf by Ouplaas Farm Guest House baie geniet. Die gasvryheid en vriendelikheid van ons gasheer en gasvrou is uitsonderlik. Die akkommodasie, kos en diens uit die boonste rakke. Die rustige plaasatmosfeer bring jou siel to ruste. Ek beveel Ouplaas Farm Guest House aan vir enige een wat bietjie wil wegbreek en rus. Verseker goeie waarde vir geld.

Onvergeetlik, alles was eksie perfeksie!!

Alles was perfek, vandat ons arriveer het totdat ons vertrek het. Mens weet nie eers waar op te begin. Eerste ding wat die opvallendste was, met aankoms was die sprokiesmooi tuin, met sy hemelhoë bome, dit het gevoel asof ons in 'n stukkie paradys is. Oom Koert en Tannie is pragtige hartsmense wat ons verwelkolom het. Ons kamer was beeldskoon, pragtig mooigemaak met antieke meubels, dis so mooi. Geselskap, aandete - veral nagereg, was fantasties. Ek sal beslis gou 'n rede uit dink om weer Ottosdal te moet besoek.

Unforgettable, everything was perfection!!

Everything was perfect, from the time we arrived until we left. One does not even know where to begin. First thing that was most striking, upon arrival was the fairytale garden, with its sky-high trees, it felt like we were in a piece of paradise. Uncle Koert and Tannie are beautiful people of heart who have welcomed us. Our room was immaculate, beautifully decorated with antique furniture, it's so beautiful. Company, dinner - especially dessert, was fantastic. I will definitely soon come up with a reason to visit Ottosdal again.

Regte egte plaasgevoel, liefde, hartlikheid en vriendelikheid.

Een van die beste gastehuise in die land. Vriendelikheid en liefde straal deur alles wat tannie Magdalena-hulle doen, van die kos tot die geselsies. Nie net is die gastehuis homself asemrowend nie, laat die natuurskoon jou ook vir 'n oomblik in jou voetspore vries en dwing om elke oomblik soos 'n sponsie in te neem. Geen woorde regverdig die tuisgevoel wat ons by Ouplaas ervaar het nie. Die kos is lip-lek-lekker. Die is n 'full-on' eg Suid-Afrikaanse gevoel en hartlikheid!

Real genuine farm feel, love, warmth and kindness.

One of the best guesthouses in the country. Kindness and love shine through everything Aunt Magdalena does, from the food to the conversations. Not only is the guesthouse itself breathtaking, the natural beauty also freezes you in your tracks for a moment and forces you to take in every moment like a sponge. No words justify the feeling of home that we experienced at Ouplaas. The food is lip-smackingly delicious. It is a 'full-on' truly South African feeling and warmth!

We arrived as guests and left as friends, Ouplaas is a destination, not a one night stopover.

We cannot recommend Ouplaas highly enough. We decided to break a trip between Augrabies and Johannesburg and Ottosdal seemed like a good point, about 6 hours from Augrabies, and not a big detour off the N14 so not adding much distance to our journey. The web photos of Ouplaas suggested it would be serene, steeped in history and in a beautiful rustic setting. Several storms on the road delayed our arrival, eventually getting to the farm after 8 pm, to be greeted by Coert and Magdalena (and their Anatolian Shepherd, Melker) with a very welcome glass of sherry and hot tea. The house is complete serendipity: so beautifully furnished with many antique pieces combined with enough balance of family memorabilia to make it feel authentic and homely. The bedrooms were furnished with everything we needed, attention to detail apparent throughout. The only disappointment was that Magdalena had been trying the whole day to contact us to ask if we wanted to join them for dinner, and as is our habit on holidays, our phones were on silent. The magnitude of our loss was made so much more apparent at breakfast the next morning where we ate what were arguably the best omelettes I have ever eaten. The garden sparkled in it's autumn colours after the night's rain and Ouplaas radiated the beauty of this grand old dame. My measure of the quality of any hospitality establishment is the relationship one develops with the people one interacts with during the stay. In the space of 12 hours (most spent sleeping) we got to know an incredible couple in Coert and Magdalena. Their warmth, genuine interest in us and willingness to provide for all our needs was exceptional. For sure we will be back, not as a stopover, but as a destination, for several days, not as guests, but as friends.

Absolutely wonderful surprise and much more than the standard guesthouse experience - it is more like a visit to good ol' friends.

The historic farmhouse and grounds provided the setting for a superior, award-winning guesthouse experience, but then Ouplaas provided so much more - the hospitality at the farm was more than we even expected. The stay really felt like a visit to good friends, was way too short, and we must plan the next visit soon.

Groot bederf!

Ottosdal was net 'n kol op die padkaart om ons Kaaptoer af te skop. Die resensies het ons gelei en ons kies toe Ouplaas en bespreek die gesinsuite met sy eie uitgang na die stoep. Ons is gegroet met 'n baie ruim kamer, 'n sitarea met twee gemakstoele, 'n yskas, koffie- en teemaakgeriewe en alles wat enige gas nodig het. Die badkamer is pragtig en die matte in die hele kamer is sag en weelderig. Die koninggrootte-bed, beddegoed en kussings is uitstekend. Ons het soos konings gevoel. Ons is op die hande gedra deur ons gashere Magdalena en Coert. Ons het aandete en ontbyt bestel en weereens was ons soos koninklikes behandel met etes wat met uiterse sorg en smaak opgedis is. Ook was die vriendelikheid en gasvryheid soos 'n vars briesie. Magdalena en Coert is ingestel om net die beste vir hulle gaste aan te bied. Dis was duidelik in elke ervaring tydens ons verblyf. Mens verwag nie sulke verblyf in 'n klein dorpie soos Ottosdal nie, en ons voete is onder ons uitgeslaan. Dankie Magdalena en Coert - julle is voorwaar 'n voorbeeld. Ons sal weer 'n ompad ry om by julle te bly as ons in die omgewing is!

Big treat!

Ottosdal was just a dot on the road map to kick off our Cape Town tour. The let the reviews lead us and chose Ouplaas. We booked the family suites with their own exit to the sidewalk. We were greeted with a very spacious room, a seating area with two comfortable chairs, a fridge, coffee and tea making facilities and everything that any guest needs. The bathroom is beautiful and the carpets in the room are soft and lush. The king size bed, bedding and pillows are excellent. We felt like kings. We were treated very well by our hosts, Magdalena and Coert. We ordered dinner and breakfast and, once again, we were treated like royalty with meals served with extreme care and taste. The friendliness and hospitality was like a fresh breeze. Magdalena and Coert are set up to offer only the best for their guests. That was apparent in every experience during our stay. One does not expect such a stay in a small town like Ottosdal, and we were knocked off our feet. Thank you, Magdalena and Coert - you are indeed an example. We will take a detour again to stay with you if we are in the area!
