Rosenhof Country House
Rosenhof Country House is a boutique guesthouse situated on the outskirts of Oudtshoorn in the heart of the Klein Karoo region of South Africa. It is a carefully renovated homestead (circa 1852) with yellowwood beams and ceilings and a tasteful collection of antique furniture.
The lovely rose garden, which gave Rosenhof its name, leads to stylishly decorated bedrooms, each individually furnished. The two Executive Suites each have their own pool, lounge and patio, with tranquil views of the Swartberg Mountains. For families and friends there is the double-story, 3-bedroom Bird Cottage with kitchen and swimming pool. Rosenhof is a place to unwind, whether that be at the pool, around a fireplace in the lounge or at the Wellness Centre.
