"The dinner was great! We loved our stay at red stone hills."
"Lovely and quaint cottages in a geologically fascinating environment. Landscape painters would also love it. Close enough to Calitzdorp for lunch/dinner and port tasting."
"Great house, we arrived just after rain an thunderstorm. First rain in 3,5 months The mimosa smelled great. Our stay was too short. We didn't do the hikes and regret that. Anyway also the breakfast at the pool was fantastic. "
"We stayed in the most basic cottage which was still well equipped and better than we expected. Lovely views and the owners are very friendly, taking my son out on a morning visit to feed the ostriches on their working farm. Order their delicious home made braai meals all brought to your door and the..."

"What awesome accommodation. The location is just magnificent. We only stayed one night but would have loved to stay longer and explore the area. Red Stone cottage is well away from the road and the other cottages so it lends to a sense of (secure) isolation and peace. The amenities are superb, beaut..."
more"A beautiful setting and each farm cottage is secluded enough to give privacy if required. The cottages are extremely comfortable, and the hosts couldn't do enough to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We accepted the offer of a continental breakfast, made all that much better by the fact that ..."

"Wish we had more time to enjoy the stunning environment and farm-friendly atmosphere. The cottage was lovely, homely and well appointed, making relaxing so easy! A week spend here would feel like an escape from the world...great for kids to connect with 'being a child again'."
"An ideal place to stay near Outdshorn!
Thank you very much for taking us on the feeding of the Ostriches - tour."
"Baie rustig en stil in 'n mooi omgewing. Die kos was baie lekker maar wees gewaarsku, jy moet jou vleis self braai. Dit ingereken het ons dit baie geniet.
It is very calm and peaceful set in a beautiful environment. The food was nice but be aware that you have to braai your own meat. All take..."
"Very comfortable, had a great time. Just extremely hot!"
"The farm is located in a beautiful area of Red Hill in the middle of Swartsberg Mount. It is in close proximity to Swartsberg Pass, Cango Caves and the attractions in the area. We stayed at the Bushman's Cottage for two nights. The cottage is spacious, clean and well equipped. We stayed in three roo..."
more"Strange, but beautiful. We enjoyed our stay very much. Liked the mountain next to the cottage."

"When we arrived Petro 'upgraded' us to the Ostrich Palace as the guests who were staying in the Birds Nest which we had booked had extended their stay for another night. I did not mind this at all but after spending the one night that I had booked for I fully understood why they had extended their s..."
more"The Red Stone Hills was utterly charming and quirky a delightful place to escape. The scenery is awesome and Petro was a great help in dropping us off for the hike over the hills and very knowledgeable. The arranged supper was terrific and could have fed a family of four not just us two. I would v..."
more"We had a fabulous stay and our host was absolutely wonderful, and incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. There was so much for the children to do, and they LOVED interacting with the farm animals. Our cottage was over 100 years old and the furniture was authentic which was such a nice touch, we have ..."
more"The location of Red Stone Hills was fabulous. An idyllic spot far enough away from the crowds, but close enough to all the sites of Oudtshoorn.
The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed.
Petra was very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our morning hike, and watching the..."

"A real country venue though with all the luxuries. Should stay for more than one day for the full experience. "
"My stay at Red Stone was, in a word, repeatable.
Petra was most accommodating and drove to meet us as we arrived in the dark and weren't sure of the way. That gesture made us feel most welcome and at home."
"All I can say is that this venue is awesome!! I was so pleasantly surprised by everything. It's a short drive out of Oudtshoorn, but worth every minute. The setting is unbelievably beautiful and the accommodation is extremely tasteful and comfortable. The breakfast was very tasty and the host was ve..."

"It was one of the best weekends that we had. As they say, 'it was just what the doctor ordered'."
"We stayed in BIRDS NEST and could not wish for anything more. We had a self catering unit, but made use of the delivered suppers. My husband was so impressed with the stuffed ostrich fillet and me, well I enjoyed the kebab thoroughly. It was such a spoil! Nature is unspoilt and we enjoyed the nigh..."

Rustic, very rustic accommodation, with plenty of hot water and a comfy bed, stunning views and if you're very lucky an amazing starry sky to sip your wine and enjoy your braai.....but watch ..."
more"We had a wonderful stay at Red Stone Hills, the owner was so helpful and friendly. The property had amazing views and the house was well equipped and comfortable. We only stayed one night, it would have been nice to stay longer. I have been recommending the property to friends already."
"Enjoyed staying here. Good location for the caves and all the ostriches. We had a braai at our cottage. Very nice."
"A wonderful place to stop and admire the beauty of the area. The cottages are all private and you can explore the farm at your leisure. The cottages are well appointed and very comfortable. Guests are welcomed as if they are long lost friends. Well worth a visit."
"We found this location purely by accident and used it as a stop over en route from R62 to Outshoorn. As soon as we arrived, we wished we were staying longer as it was just wonderful. The scenery is totally breathtaking and the cottage was straight out of the 19th century but with mod-cons. We are pl..."
more"The accommodation was good. I especially enjoyed the stillness away from the din of the city."
"Pleasant and peaceful stay. The children had a carefree time roaming about. Sure to visit again."
"It is amazing to sit and watch how the hills turn red. The animal sounds and the sound of the owl at night (so close you can touch it) are wonderful. The hostess, the table setting with fresh bread, the perfect steak and salads is a dead certain for me to go back.
"
"We only stayed a single night in Red Stone Hills while touring South Africa. Red Stone Hills is a very nice cottage with lots of space and very quiet. We would certainly visit again.
"
"Fantastic stay. Very peaceful, simple living - although the mod-cons are available for those who wish to use them. Beautifully renovated cottage with breathtaking scenery. Only wish we could have spent more time there."
"Lovely articulate South African setting with dark red brooding hills. Very comfortable beds, settees and bathrooms. Empathic host and a lovely kitten for company provided by Petro for de-stressing. Love and affection in the decor. Nice original paintings and good, good coffee. Unique!"
"Efficient and friendly booking procedures were backed by as efficient and friendly reception by the owner herself, Petra Potgieter.
What a jewel tucked away against the amazing, rugged red mountains of the ancient Karroo, sticking out like a fresh breath of red air, visible from 10 kilomete..."
"Excellent accommodation, perfect equipment, lovely surrounding, friendly owner, good price. We have stayed at many self catering places during the last 10 years, Red Stone cottages definitely belong to one of the best. We'll come again."
