A particular favorite in Oudtshoorn.

La Plume Guesthouse, a four-star establishment operated by its owners, is a Victorian homestead from 1902 situated on a functioning ostrich and alfalfa farm in the Olifantsrivier Valley, Oudtshoorn.  Reliable and esteemed, La Plume continually provides an exemplary Route 62 experience for every client.

Allocate your time judiciously in Oudtshoorn, as numerous activities await.  Visitors may partake in a hot air balloon excursion or explore the sole meerkat conservation initiative globally.  Experience riding an ostrich at a local ranch or explore the enigmatic concealed chambers of the Cango Caves.  Although other restaurants are in proximity, it is advisable to pre-arrange dinner at La Plume to experience Karin’s renowned ostrich fillet.

The homestead’s salon and dining area feature extensive wooden flooring and are decorated with Cape antiques, complemented with a wrap-around balcony that provides views of the flat, semi-arid valley, various mountains, and distant hillocks.  The 12 Rooms, in harmony with the guesthouse’s motif, have elegant vintage furnishings, including substantial wooden sleigh beds, ball and claw baths, and crystal port decanters.
