Brilliant boutique hotel in an oasis
Wonderful, welcoming and warm hotel in the southern Kalahari - a short drive from the Augrabies Falls and situated in verdant vineyards of the Orange River Valley. A true oasis of hospitality and great food. Well worth the journey!

Good service creates a good vibe
An excellent option for staying in Kakamas either as a destination or transit point. Staff kindly brought our dinner to our terrace and seemed to enjoy their jobs. Would definitely stay again.
