The wisdom you will find lies in our selection of books. We think of life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense.

A gem of a guest house

Steve & Helen Tye, United Kingdom

13 February 2012

From the moment we were welcomed by Hennie and Sandra, we felt at home at the charming Oude Huize Yard. Set in a beautiful garden, and with a wonderful view of the Platberg, the house is full of history and character. Our only regret is that we only got to stay for one night! Thank you Hennie and Sandra for your hospitality, and sharing your beautiful home.

Awesomely homely!

We were welcomed and made to feel at home from the very first, to the very last moment. The room was neat and the décor fitted superbly. The breakfast was top notch and the bottle of apricot jam was the cherry on top for a fantastic stay at De Oude Huize.

An amazing stay

Monique Roux, South Africa

What a memorable stay. Will definitely be returning. The service, hospitality and accommodation were truly amazing.

Fantastic place

A very comfortable place which is styled with love for history and details. Great dinner and lovely hosts. Go there!

A real gem

Nick Gazzard, United Kingdom

23 August 2011

If you are looking for the best mix of traditional and eclectic in the Free State, this is it. From the minute we arrived, the welcome was genuine and warm. We enjoyed the superb views from the garden loungers of the mountains, and a fire in the bedroom after dinner. Such a treat. Rooms are amazing, full of artifacts, antiques and curiosities. Oil lamps were lit in the evening and we had a fabulous meal. Great service. Seemed a shame it was only a one-night stop.
