Ostrich Farm - Mooiplaas is a working farm with real ostriches.
Oudtshoorn - with its restaurants and bars is only 10km away.
Country Cooking - farmstyle breakfasts and dinners.
Just 10km outside of Oudtshoorn, the ostrich capital of the world, is the family farm of Mooiplaas (meaning beautiful farm). This working ostrich farm, which also farms maize and alfalfa, is owned and run by your hosts Viljee and Hanlie Keller, the fourth generation on Mooiplaas.
The guesthouse is converted from an old farm house and still has the traditional facade and typical covered veranda.
Be sure to go on the tour of the farm, where you can get up close to the thousands of ostriches and if you're lucky watch the enormous eggs hatch or hold a fluffy chick. Otherwise you could relax in the shade of the veranda while looking out over the Klein Karoo towards the distant mountain - in between dips in the swimming pool.
LocationMooiplaas Guest House is located 10km outside Oudtshoorn.
