Thylitshia Villa Country Guesthouse

Thylitshia Villa Country Guesthouse is a working ostrich and wine farm, housed in a tastefully decorated Cape Dutch building, which combines classic style with modern touches and offers exceptional hospitality.

Enjoy a leisurely home-cooked breakfast either on the patio or in the colonial-style dining room. In addition to the comfortable interiors and exteriors of the guest accommodation, you are treated to a private tour of the farm where you can witness the various stages of the birds’ development. Alternatively, you can have a dip at the swimming pool or immerse yourself into the quiet beauty of the landscaped gardens.

Thylitshia Villa is a wonderful retreat in the heart of the Little Karoo, just outside Oudtshoorn. Attractions in the area include the Cango Caves and a Safari Show farm.

Rooms: 8
Rate: 450 - 1100 ZAR

Local ostrich cuisine is served by romantic candlelight every night with sherry served before dinner. A taste of Thylitshia’s homemade Witblitz (schnapps) rounds off the meal.
