We stayed just one night at Mooiplas but wish it could have been more. We were greeted by Andre who really did make our stay. He was so funny, chatty, and a great great host who made our stay memorable. Our rooms were the new ones and were luxurious in every way. Large bed, large bath and rain shower, patio... More

Having driven 5 hours to get to Mooiplaas in 40 degree heat, we longed to dive into the pool to unwind....but we found we were not housed in the main Guest House, but in the annex, down the road. Swimming costume on.....but the pool was quite disgustingly dirty, it was completely cloudy, you could not see the bottom and on... More

Thank you for taking the time to write your comments. In the hotel business sometimes, no matter how hard we try, it is as if Mr Murphy steps in and things can go wrong. We are extremely sorry for the distress that you experienced during your stay with us. I can assure you that this is not our standard (as... More

Our tour of SA was arranged by a South African/German based company(Umfulana) who seem adept at providing excellent accommodation in spectacular locations. Mooiplaas did not dissappoint; what made it exceptional was the front of house performance of Andre - just has to be experienced! We also had the excellent osterich steaks which made the following days visit to the adjoining... More

We stayed here for one night and had a fantastic stay. The room (we had the cheapest one I think) was beautiful and all mod cons were there, even a few extras such as a hot water bottle, bookcase filled with books, large mini bar etc. There were even flower petals in the toilet, which is very Barbara Streisand!

We stopped here for 2 nights, and were really impressed with the rooms (adjoining family suite). We had their dinner (osterich braii) one night, and the host Andre was really entertaining and the food was great value. Definitely worth joining Ben for a tour of the Osterich farm too. It is a 10min drive out of town but worth it... More

This is a very nice place to stay. Comfortable and very clean. Andre was extremely attentive host and went out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable and happy. We had an ostrich braai (barbecue) for supper which was great. The tour of the ostrich farm with Ben is a must. Ben is such a nice man... More

We spent 2 nights at Mooiplaas guesthouse with our 4 children, and the full family really enjoyed it... Very nice environment, excellent service quality, beautiful and clean bedrooms, great family room, but the best was the ostrich experience...
