Beautiful cottages furnished with antiques. Very comfortable and peaceful. The whole property is just exuding old world charm and history. We've visited for the second time and this time around we also had dinner there, which was simply spectecular (as was breakfast the next morning)! 

Old world charm

We had a delightful overnight stay at Rietfontein. Our room and facilities were superb, and our hosts, Kobus and Elmaré most welcoming and hospitable. Elmaré is a domestic goddess and gave us an exquisite dinner, followed by a first class breakfast the following morning. We can highly recommend the Ostrich Palace!

Fabulous!

Elmare and Kobus have created a wonderful haven on their farm.Such lovely people who offer high quality accommodation and the most delicious food. We stayed in both a room “on the other side” and one next to their home. The buildings have been so tastefully renovated and decorated. The beds are so comfortable. Regretfully we only discovered the amazing pool as we were about to leave. We wish we had booked for longer.

Perfect hosts in a peaceful paradise

The Rietfontein Ostrich Palace was an oasis in the karoo. We stayed here one night on our travels through South Africa, and I wish we could have stayed longer. The property was beautiful. The room was stunning, comfortable & well appointed. And the meals (dinner & breakfast) were so delicious! I'd recommend this to anyone, and hope to return one day.

A wonderful stay

This is situated between Calitzdorp and Oudtshoorn in the Karoo. If you like semi-desert this is your ideal spot with the Red Mountains just behind the Rietfontein.
The hosts, Kobus and Elmare could not do enough for us - they were so warm and hospitable. My wife has food issues and Elmare had no problem amending her menu.  She is a wonderful cook.
The  early morning and evening views are fantastic.
The room we stayed in was "Kurt se |Kerkie", filled with memorabilia.This is the second time we stayed there, and the only regret is that we did not stay longer.
I suggest you book direct with the place. The online hotel booking agencies hit these small places with at least a 15% commission, quite outrageous.

Clean air, magnificent stars

Wonderful hosts, excellent dinner and breakfast. What else could you ask for? We will definitely be returning. Room was superb and pool was so welcome. The perfect place to stay in the Karoo. Thank you Kobus and Elmare


A Truly Delightful Stay

My wife and I had a wonderful stay over and enjoyed a few cold beers during the load shedding period.
We found the hospitality and service to be very nice and you were made to feel welcome.

We have made a note to stay longer on our next visit.

Recent stay at the Rietfontein Ostrich Palace

The hosts are amazing, they were very helpful about everything. They gave us super good tips. You can enjoy your time at the pool with red mountains in hot days. Their dinners are very fine, they offer 4 course dinning.


Amazing Stay

Ostrich Palace is easy to find, the views are stunning, the rooms are neat and decorated beautifully, as are the tables. The food is delicious and Elmarie and Cobus are wonderful hosts. We would very much like to go stay there again.

A special place, worthwhile visiting !

This place is just great, 2 rooms super well decorated and furnished in a very special place with a very special history!

The owners are great, very friendly and super interesting. 

And the food (we had dinner) was marvelous !

Unfortunately we stayed only one night ( both rooms with some of our kids) and had no opportunity to explore the area.
