Riverside Guest Lodge offers panoramic views of Grobbelaars River and Swartberg Mountains. It offers air-conditioned rooms and wooden cottages. There is a main deck with a splash pool, a bar, and a barbecue. We had a truly amazing stay at the Riverside Guest Lodge during our two-week vacation in South Africa! Albert and Elza are innkeepers that take great pride in the property and in what they do. This shows through 1000% in the experience guests receive when they book a stay. Prior to check-in, you receive information such as directions to the property, road conditions, and any diversion / closure warnings that are a huge help to the international traveller. The property itself is beautiful and well-placed, settled close to the main thoroughfare and up against a quaint little river. I really enjoyed lounging on the deck by the small pool and grabbing a couple of drinks from the well-stocked bar. The dining room was also very charming, even though we did not have time to enjoy breakfast. The guest room itself was also supremely comfortable and clean - a perfect resting place after a long day's drive and adventuring. Little touches like the bottle of water and chocolates, the honesty-system at the bar, and even the welcome 'tour' we got from Albert really made this place feel so welcoming and homely. Finally, the fact that they have solar panels setup means you barely, if ever, feel the effects of loadshedding -- a very very welcome benefit! Check-out was smooth and went off without a hitch. I was also pleasantly surprised that there was staff on hand that would give the cars a wash-down which we sorely needed after a few days of driving on gravel roads. I certainly would recommend this place to anyone visiting or passing through Oudtshoorn.

Set in Hout Bay, Poseidon Guest House offers accommodation with elevated views of the harbour and bay. This guesthouse has an outdoor swimming pool and free WiFi.

Each of the rooms at Poseidon offers harbour and mountain views, and most rooms have a balcony. They are equipped with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and tea-and-coffee-making facilities, and each room has a private bathroom. It's really a great place along with many stories. Jaarnie was an art director and he has decorated this house with heart, you just live in the movie. It's really a great house, and mostly will come again, the share with family.
