    Great location, wonderful rooms, not enough spots to see the Meerkats

    The meerkat tours only go once a day and have only a few available spots per tour. This must be booked way in advance. Which doesn't make sense. Meerkats should be able to be seen all day long, like elsewhere in Africa. This seems to be an extremely conservative approach.

    De Zeekoe had great hospitality. They had animals around their property and kitties that sleep with you if you like and they want to. The property gives you free brandy as a nightcap and has a fire stove in the rooms for the cold winter nights. The food was also A+.

    It is my 3rd time there. Quite place, complimentary liqueur, huge bathroom, fireplace, hitting sheet and many another small things. Good restaurant for dinner with big choice local beer, wine, gin. Ostrich steak and springbok carpacho was delicious. Meerkats visiting really need to book in advance

    Only one power outlet for European sockets. And the service at dinner was extremely slow.

    Check-out was expanded after the Meerkat Tour took much longer than expected. Meerkat Tour was very nice. Hotel is very classy and beautiful. Service at breakfast is quick and breakfast very good.

    The gravel drive from the main road is very long and bumpy for a smaller car, also covered in dust by passing 4x4.

    I didn't love the fact that the generator was right next to our bedroom. However, loadshedding is a way of life in SA. So there's not much one can do. Breakfast was lovely. But dinner was merely slightly above average. For eg while my schnitzel was lovely, the mushroom sauce tasted of flour. It was not well made. My salad was also not attractive.

    All in all attentive staff and nice bedroom.

    The pool could have been cleaner. Be wary you will have to drive on some dirt roads to get to the property. There's also no television in your room, perfect for switching off.

    We absolutely loved our stay at De Zeekoe. It was our favourite accommodation on our south Africa trip. So much so we definitely should have stayed a second night. Our dinner at the property was great and the views were absolutely phenomenal. We added the meerkat sunrise tour to our stay and loved it. The hosts also helped us book our cango caves tour upon arrival.

    The spa was appalling. If your therapists walk out on you DO NOT try and train your staff overnight to offer spa treatments. Just close the spa until you get trained, experienced therapists.

    The gardens were lovely. The meals were good but not extraordinary compared to a stay elsewhere in Oudsthoorn last year

    Nothing bad to be said. We did not do the meerkat experience, as we thought it was a bit pricey.

    Calm place to chill for a day. Two girls in the Bar are so sweet and made us smile.
