Breakfast was packed due to the fact that I have to leave early and it was a pleasant surprise when I had time to eat. Many thanks

The house has been carefully renovated over many years to ensure that the true quality of this gracious house contributes to an unforgettable experience for our visiting guests. We invite you to come and experience the friendly, peaceful and relaxed atmosphere of this remarkable guest house where Oleander was awarded the prestigious 2015 Lilizella national winner in the five star guest house category.

Oleander has become known for our “Top-Notch” Restaurant where we offer a variety of seasonal dishes traditional to the Northern Cape. Sundowners are enjoyed at the pool-deck next to the large swimming pool while watching hundreds of swallows and bee-catchers enjoying the “big skies” of Kimberley.
