Stayed here for a couple of nights in what was a very nice and clean room with a great ensuite bathroom looking out onto a very nice garden. The breakfast was plentiful and served when requested and the hosts knew a lot about the restaurants of the area, both of which we visited and found to be very good recommendations.

I stayed here November 22, 2012 while driving through the Karoo on route 62. Really nice guesthouse, quiet and secure. Plenty of restaurants with late night hours within walking distance. Very friendly owners and a great breakfast. Miss the ostrich sausage!

lovely quaint and quiet guest house with a warm welcome and delicious choice of breakfast. good location for cango caves and ostrich farms. the owners were very helpful and made us a dinner reservation at a local restaurant and directed us as to things to do in the area.

Hosts are so nice, everything is furnished in good taste.Rooms  are so cute, quiet and comfortable, bed linen smells clean .But the most amazing feature was the breakfast. Fine porcelain, white tablecloth, homemade delicious jam. A little bit of "family", so far from home

We really enjoyed our stay in Yamkela guesthouse. Upon arrival we received excellent explanations on the things to do around Oudtshoorn. This made is very easy and efficient to plan our day. Also breakfast comes with a surprise every morning. Rooms are spacious with good beds. Excellent value for money compared to others we have used.

My family and I stayed at yamkela guesthouse in June. What a treat ! Probably the best value for money in town !! The rooms are spacious and well appointed. Our room even offered french doors opening onto a central courtyard & pool. In the morning we received a full breakfast, complete with fresh fruit salad, cereals and freshly prepared... More
