Fodor's Expert Review La Plume Guest House

Volmoed, Oudtshoorn, Western Cape, 6620, South Africa Fodor's Choice

On a working ostrich farm, this stylish guesthouse has rooms that are individually decorated with beautiful antiques; all of the bathrooms have elegant clawfoot tubs. Guests are greeted with welcome drinks in the elegant lounge of the 1902 Victorian manor house or on the verandah overlooking the valley. You'll enjoy scrumptious home cooking in the attractive restaurant. If you're keen on seeing what ostrich farming is all about, you can take an informal but informative tour with the owner. The turnoff to the farm is 7 km (4 miles) west of Oudtshoorn and is well marked from the R62.
