Old Oak Manor Guest House
Riebeek Kasteel
Guest house
(5
rooms)
The 'lived-in' French Provençal style of interior is apparent throughout the house and many guests have referred to Old Oak Manor as a 'home from home'. The guest house has been featured in many local and international magazines, and even on the front cover of some French interior magazines. The special ambience created by the interior is without a doubt responsible for the 'X-factor' of the place.
Old Oak Guest House has four en suite bedrooms respectively called Tara, Julius, Misty and Felix and are named after the owners' cats. The two bigger rooms, named after the two "fat cats" Tara and Julius, are located at the back of the house and open onto a patio leading to the swimming pool. These bedrooms have a double bed and spacious bathroom with free standing Victorian bath and shower.
The other two rooms, named after the two "sleek cats" Felix and Misty, are respectively located to the side and front of the house. These bedrooms also have double beds with an en-suite bathroom containing a shower. This same relaxed style of décor was used here. All rooms have wall heaters for the cold winter nights.
The Loft is located above the restaurant. This spacious living area consists of a lounge, bedroom and en-suite bathroom and contains a double bed and two day beds. DSTV, tea/coffee facilities and an honesty bar are available in the loft. Room service can be ordered from the restaurant during normal open hours. With its special interior this space is very popular as a honeymoon suite and has been the focus point of many interior shoots for local and international magazines.
cozy lounge provides a comfortable retreat while relaxing with a book and a good glass of wine. A wood burning stove provides heat for the cold winter days. The bedrooms opens into a dining room that has tea and coffee facilities with an honesty bar and wine fridge.
A previous owner once had a vision of horses drinking at a wooden trough at the back of the house where the swimming pool is located today.
Such stories stimulate the romantic imagination around the history of the place.
Old Oak Manor Guest House was once an old farm house dating back to around 1856. It is apparently one of the oldest houses in Riebeek Kasteel and started life as a Victorian style building. This was changed to a Cape-Dutch style with the addition of a gable at some point. Unfortunately, the only original elements remaining today are the clay ceiling in some parts of the building and the half-meter thick clay walls (the original doors and windows were replaced).
The guest house was named after the oldest oak tree on the property (estimated to be 180 years old). The other old oak on the property, which is estimated at about 150 years, provides a welcome shade to the restaurant outside area.
