Detailed Reviews
When entering our room it was so well laid out and beautifully designed. My son was crazy about the bunk beds and the kitchen had everything one needed for a short stay. The bathroom had a double sink so there was room for everyone. Breakfast was over the top with a gourmet pancake as a starter and a well spread full house breakfast. Overall the entire experience was amazing. Thank you Linda and team *

The stay was lovely, fantastic service, the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was delicious, every day there is something new to try, they cook fresh eggs up to your liking. They even do laundry 🧺 which is very quick. The location is great, shopping complex 'checkers' bear by, restaurant 'spur' are very nearby. Will be staying here again, if i come this part of the world another time ❤️.

From the time we started making enquiries for accommodation to booking into De Akker, the experience was very professional and welcoming. The host - Linda was extremely helpful and provided us with lots of information and made us feel very comfortable on arrival. The rooms were exceptionally clean and very comfortable. Our stay was definitely a 10/10....*****

This hotel was so amazing, the attention to detail was second to none, the shower was one of best I've had, swimming pool and garden area was absolutely beautiful. There is hand crafted south African art everywhere that set the place of perfectly. Breakfast was really nice, fruit and yogurt followed up with very well cooked breakfast. Seriously can't recommend this place enough, from location to people to the food there was nothing I wouldn't recommend. If you are looking for a place STOP and pick this place you can thank me later in the comments

With this being our stop over for new years eve and with the present lockdown restrictions we really just wanted somewhere quiet with a pool and to relax. Arriving at De Akker we were pleasantly surprised to find not only that but extremely friendly staff and management, amazingly well kept gardens and rooms that were nothing shy of fit to eat food off the floor.
We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend them for fellow travellers!

I have traveled to quite a few countries and lived in many hotels and guesthouses. I have to tell you that De Akker is one of the best guesthouses in the world: good location, spacious yard, security gate, pretty garden, cozy pool, comfortable bed, clean shower room, and so on.
To my surprise, we were served with hot breakfast with our choices: egg, sausage, bacon, tomato, and tomato, or any combination of these.
The hostess is kind to her guests and helpful with any information you need. There are six rooms with various arrangements.
We were treated as VIP guests and I would recommend you to De Akker Guesthouse if you travel to Oudtshoorn!

On arrival the staff and owner were very friendly and made sure we are settled in. During loadshedding you are still connected to Wifi and the lights and TV stays on. 2 minutes walk to Town. Breakfast is tops, love it. Rooms are big and spacious, with a desk to work and also a safe for your valuables.

Rooms our spotlessly clean and well appointed.
Breakfast was delicious and plentiful and you’ll certainly leave on a full stomach.
And last but definitely not least are the staff they are a credit to this establishment really do look after you.
