After driving around Oudtshoorn looking for accommodation we stumbled across this beautiful and relaxing little gem. The entrance is through a beautifully manicured garden into reception where we found a very helpful lady. The price was very reasonably (Infact too cheap for what we got), the room was a bit old and flowery but it was clean and gave us... More

We stayed there just for one night, my husband, my friend and myself. We booked two rooms. The owners are really nice people. The rooms are ok, the decoration was not our favourite, perhaps we are still a bit young for so much flowers and kitsch. That would have been no problem, if the rooms had been clean. But they...

For the first time on this trip we did not pre-book accommodation or had access to 'Trip' reviews. We booked Adley House as a drive past and on the presentation of the grounds and overall look. Hilda showed us a room and we were delighted. Huge bedroom and bathroom, gardens and terrace with orange trees! Breakfast was lovely in a... More

All the guest houses we stayed in while touring South Africa were very nice, but Adley House stands out as one of, if not, the best. We had a room across from the main house. When we walked into the room the first thing I noticed was the large bouquet of fresh cut flowers. The room was large, with an... More

We stayed at Adley House recently and enjoyed the whole experience. It is a beautiful house set in lovely gardens close to the centre of Oudtshoorn. The rooms are beautifully prsesented and are spotlessly clean. Breakfasts were wonderful with a good variety of food. I would certainly recommend this guest house and look forward to returning there when we next... More

The grounds of Adley House were simply breath-taking. Garden surrounding was great for my kids to run in and beautiful-in-bloom for Kodak moments. Every turn and every corner in the house, you’ll be greeted by old English charm and flowers freshly cut from their very own garden. The staffs that ran this place were very friendly and helpful. As there... More
