Waterkloof Guest House in Heidelberg, Western Cape (original) (raw)

Waterkloof Guest House is a highly recommended B&B with self catering option, providing accommodation in Heidelberg for anyone visiting the Cape Overberg region.

Waterkloof Guesthouse, a free range ostrich farm, is situated in the scenic vastness of the Southern Cape, near Swellendam and Heidelberg. A few minutes drive will take you to the holiday town of Witsand with its superb beach and fisherman's paradise.

San Sebastian Bay at Witsand is world famous as the nursery of the Southern Right Whales where they come to breed from May to November. On your way to the De Hoop Nature Reserve with its abundance of wild flowers and animal life, you will cross the Breede River on the famous man-powered Malgas Pont (ferry).

Accommodation

The The Guest Hous contains various family heirlooms and the interior speaks of days gone by, mixed with a unique artistic feeling. The Guest House has four guest bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities, tea trays and private entrances. The rooms are decorated in the same style as the house and contain valuable antique furniture and art collections. During winter the rooms are warm and cozy, with down duvets and luxurious mohair and electrical blankets. The rooms are serviced daily.

The secluded garden which attracts a number of bird species is ideal for relaxing, especially around the swimming pool area. Relax with a book or just enjoy the beautiful scenery. A specialty to enjoy is Overberg Lager, a refreshing beer produced from local barley, not commercially available.

Cuisine

The Uyse are renowned for their hospitality and good South African cuisine. Wholesome breakfasts include fresh farm produce and the adventurous can even indulge in ostrich eggs! Dinner is also available on request and guests can enjoy a typical meal of mutton / lamb and ostrich in the company of their hosts.
