In large private grounds on the outskirts of Oudtshoorn, you will find the 3-star Protea Hotel Rimpie Estate. The rooms, which are housed in rondavels – typical African round huts with a thatched roof – are dotted about the large, green garden, making it feel almost like you are staying in a small park.

All rooms have an en suite bathroom, air conditioning, tea/coffee making facilities, TV and free Wi-Fi.

The location couldn’t be more perfect – just a 20-minute drive from Cango Caves, and you can look forward to a dip in the pool after the day’s drive through the beautiful yet arid landscape. Free parking is available at the hotel.
