"Lovely spacious room, exemplary staff, great breakfast. Thank you."
"A lovely place to stay with such a great view! The only thing I'd like is for the dishes to be washed - not having to do your own chores completes a holiday.
Loved staying in Oudtshoorn, couldn't believe how much there was to do.
Berluda was also very helpful in booking excursions - th..."
"We absolutely loved our stay there - beautiful cottage and setting - will definitely go back!"
"Had a fantastic time at Berluda. Staff were excellent and went the extra mile to make us feel really welcome. The cottage was immaculate and facilities superb. We will definitely be back soon."
"Stayed for 1 day but found place to be very comfortable ... will definitely stay a bit longer next time."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Berluda Farmhouse and Cottages. The accommodation is lovely and relatively luxurious. In particular the air conditioning in the extreme heat was really appreciated. Marelieze went out of her way to make a dinner booking for us with an awesome view of the river at..."
more"We had an excellent stay. Pity it was only for one night. We will definitely be back."
"This was a real worthwhile visit and we enjoyed our stay. The fact that the cottage was air-conditioned was a decided bonus. The port was well received. We will stay again next time we are in the vicinity."
"Rustig, rustig, rustig. Julle is geseend om op so 'n plek te bly.! Dit was heerlik.
Alles baie mooi."
"Wonderful opportunity to travel as a local tourist and experience hospitality and excellence in accommodation standards that exceeded our every expectation-nothing over the top-just good old fashioned 'home from home' consideration and thoughtfulness. Other establishments that have been trading on p..."
more"Very pleasant - easy to find. Cottage and rooms clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the finer touches i.e. filter coffee in rooms. "
"We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the cottages. Comfortable stay for a family in fantastic surroundings with a great breakfast with the best muesli we have ever tasted."
"The stay and staff was all very nice. Questions and request were tended to very quickly. The surroundings are calming and relaxing. The guesthouse is situated in such a way that you can get to any of the attractions surrounding Oudtshoorn. We enjoyed our stay!"
"We had a very nice stay. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Would recommend to others."
"Thank you for a wonderful stay. This is a lovely place. I will recommend to others and revisit."
"Thank you for a lovely stay. We will revisit and recommend to others."
"We loved Berluda- the cosy cottages with sweeping views of the mountains and farmlands, the excellent service and of course the homemade bread - instant relaxation far from the bustle of the city - thank you!!!
"
"We had originally booked for a 2 night stay at Berluda, but unfortunately due to a change in our plans we could only stay for 1 night. This proved to be no problem at all to the staff which was extremely refreshing.
Everything about our stay was absolutely first class. The room was really l..."
"We've stayed a couple of nights at Berluda in 1 of the cottages and we loved it.
There is peace and quiet all around, nice house and excellent breakfast in a truly wonderful atmosphere and friendly people.
"
"A really lovely cottage. Very much old converted barn style. The setting was calm and set in nice grounds."
"We enjoyed our stay very much. It has a beautiful garden, full of flowers, with comfortable lounge chairs in the shade to relax in. The rooms are roomy and tastefully decorated. It reminded me of my Aunts farmhouse I used to visit as a child, full of antiques and flowers, a real homey feel. The ..."
more"This weekend, we had a lovely stay at Berluda guest house.
The place is situated about 10 km. Out of Oudtshoorn, which we have experienced as very pleasant, you're just on the right way to visit the caves, the Swartbergpass, the Cango wildlife ranch, Buffelsdrift, a beautiful place for a sundown..."
"The room was tastefully decorated and included a luxurious spa bath. The service was warm and friendly. The breakfast had an excellent variety and tastily prepared.
Our only suggestion is that a TV would be welcome in the room and the road on the farm gets a bit muddy during the rainy season. We..."
"We would highly recommend ALL the B&Bs we stayed in in SA but the Berluda was special. Conveniently situated on the outskirts of Oudtshoorn - close to both the Cango Caves and the Cango Ostrich Farm - it offered outstanding accommodation coupled with an extremely warm welcome. Our room was very comf..."
more"We experienced a warm friendly welcome, a refreshing welcome drink, a huge dinner of the most wonderful home cooking-definitely cooked "with love" (thank you Rosie) -a beautiful room, looking onto a quiet garden, a huge breakfast and helpful staff. What more could one ask for? We were so glad our da..."
more"Berluda was everything and more than we expected. Beautifully appointed cottages, with all you need. The views, tranquillity and environment are just out of this world. The people helpful, friendly and offer all the help you can ask for, with hospitality we tend to not find in this day and age. I wo..."
more"This is a family run business and the hospitality was second to none. A lot of effort was made to make our short stay a special one. I would definitely recommend dinner at the Lodge which was prepared with care and attention.
If I have the opportunity to visit the area again I will make Be..."
"We stayed in a nice cottage in the middle of a great surrounding. Very quiet place and tidy. The owner recommended us a restaurant not very far where we had a great time (food was excellent and atmosphere was great)."
"Der Garten ist wirklich schön, unser Zimmer war sehr groß, Frühstück, Komfort und freundlich. Empfehlenswert ist die Straußenarbeitsfarm der Besitzer (liegt auf dem Weg nach Oudtshoorn) zu besichtigen. 3,5* wären vielleicht passender als die ausgewählten 3*.

"A nice and isolated house and a good departure point for ostrich farm visit."
"Nothing was too much trouble, and the standard of accommodation was excellent. Although another cottage was being built, it didn't disturb us. We had booked dinner for the night we arrived, but a miscommunication meant that Mareaze wasn't expecting us for dinner - she nevertheless produced a superb ..."
more"The best stay we have ever had in South Africa, we felt like at home in Berluda Cottage. The staff and the management were very friendly and helpful, they fulfilled every wish a guest coud have and at the same time they let us feel as a family-member. We lived in a cottage with a stunning view to th..."

The bathroom was excellent with a very big shower and jacuzzi.
The only thing which was a bit less pleasant was a big spider which was luckily outside the ho..."
"We stayed at Berluda in a self catering cottage for one night in November 2007. The accommodation is spacious, well appointed and comfortable with some nice touches (spa bath, quality linen etc) earning a deserved four stars from the SA Tourism Authority. Berluda is a working ostrich farm in a bea..."
more"We had a very warm welcome by 'Aunt Rosie'. The rooms were spacious, nice and clean but a little bit out-dated. Our hostess prepared a lovely meal, and breakfast for us. We sat in her beautiful garden (in the winter time!) and had a lovely relaxed afternoon. She really wanted to spoil us with her ho..."
more"The cottage, situated in the country on a farm was a dream right from the moment we drove up the driveway. The most beautiful, quaint cottage imaginable. The owner's grandmother was very quick to drive up to the cottage to welcome us and ask if there was anything she could do for us - a lovely ges..."
more"I booked on-line and was expecting a room for the night but was provided with one of the cottages. From the time we arrived to the time we left, we received nothing but courteous treatment and the staff were very accommodating (Thanks Rosie). I will definitely recommend to my friends that they mak..."
more"Excellent and very beautiful accommodation and lovely white towels. Fun Jacuzzi! Just a little bit isolated and the dirt road leading to it should have been in better repair.
We pre-ordered a meal for arrival. We were late but the meal was amazing and the Manager very helpful. She had co..."
