A little bit more info:
Oakdene Guest House is situated in the centre of historic Oudtshoorn and captures all the character and heritage of a bygone era, the ostrich feather boom.
This charming Victorian home is one of the oldest houses in Oudtshoorn dating back to 1853. Oakdene was declared a National Monument in 1988.
The main road actually narrows close to Oakdene to preserve the last remaining piece of the original open water lead-lined furrow, which ran through Oudtshoorn in the old days. Oakdene is sheltered under Oak trees in the centre of Oudtshoorn, on the main tourist route.
Oakdene is within walking distance from the town centre and well-known restaurants to enjoy local wines and delicious ostrich steaks.
Oakdene has 6 spacious en-suite bedrooms, individually, remote-controlled air-conditioned, satellite flat panel TV, hairdryers, coffee/tea trays, safe in room, WiFi, electric blankets in winter and other amenities to make your stay a pleasant one. Newly designed lush garden and swimming pool to enjoy Oudtshoorn's sunny days.
Breakfast is served in the 'plaaskombuis' or outside on the patio facing the garden. Safe under cover parking on the premises.
Cape Route 62 is the tourist route in the Western Cape and Eastern Cape, South Africa, that meanders between Cape Town and Oudtshoorn, the Langkloof and Port Elizabeth, offering the shorter, scenic alternative to the N2 highway. The town of Oudtshoorn is in the Klein Karoo between the Swartberg and Outeniqua mountains.
Oudtshoorn is the ostrich capital of the world.
Ostriches are found in great numbers and the region produces the best feathers, leather products and ostrich meat in the world. But the world's biggest bird is just one of the many attractions in this area of exceptional contrasts and natural beauty.
