  We were 2 couples travelling from France in March 2022 and really loved this place. I have been many times in Oudtshoorn and its surroundings and now I will not... read more stay anywhere else when I come back. The landscape is extremely beautiful, what a view at sunset when the animals come to drink! Also the Varley family is charming, and Constantine Varley provided us with a lot of information to plan our stay (even after we left the property he kept sending me information by WhattsApp on what to look for on the road). The breakfasts and dinners were delicious and plentyful, always with such a nice decoration on the table. Our chalets (there are only 4 or 5 I think, so this is very private) were very nice, with a verandah to look at the view. The place is close to all the things to see around (ostrich farm, cango caves...) while being in this peaceful and beautiful environnement. A real gem, for a reasonnable price. Thank you and we'll be back. Ariane

Viewing the animals from the evening dinner deck brought a new perspective to the different personalities of animals, from the skittish kudu to the regal Giraffe and the intrusive little troublemaking Guinea Fowl.
We had a good rest, loads of hot water, clean and comfortable lodging and spectacular morning and evening views. The type of "Visiting friends/family" holiday experience with the exuberant hospitality we have known as kids.
Will definitely return to the Varley family and follow their progress and growth with a keen eye. Special place. Special people.
