The thing that struck me about La Plume was that I couldn't believe how reasonable the price was for what you got! La Plume blew me away with its exquisite antique furnishings, its scrumptious food and warm hospitality. I stayed in one of the honeymoon suites which was massive! I loved the old style farm furnishings in the bathroom. I really felt like I was on a Cape Dutch farm from yesteryear sitting on the balcony overlooking the farm or in the cosy dining room. I liked everything about La Plume and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone visiting Oudtshoorn

It is a place of rejuvenation. It is an unexpected oasis. It is a place of opulent indulgence. A warm welcome awaits you at this charming homestead, where Karin has combined old world charm with modern comforts to ensure extraordinary service and personal attention. Join Bartel for early morning coffee under the gazebo before an informative pre-arranged farm tour. Cool off in the salt water pool with a view, set amongst rolling lawns.
