Set in George in the Western Cape region and Outeniqua Pass reachable within 3.2 km, Out of Bounds Self-Catering Lodge offers accommodation with free WiFi, BBQ facilities, a garden and free private parking. This was a lovely space for my wife and I to enjoy as we were travelling for ministry. The owners live on site in a separate house. They are very friendly, but not intrusive. The staff does an excellent job in cleaning. The security gate was a welcome feature, although we never felt we were in danger in the area. If given the opportunity, we will gladly stay there again.
