Earthbound B&B

A gem of a guesthouse. All the staff were so lovely, helpful, cheerful and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The room and bathroom were both spacious, spotless and felt luxurious. Breakfast was fantastic, delicious and generous. Thank you to everyone

It was amazing!

The reception staff was very welcoming and helpful and the breakfast was very good. However, the room (R5), was a bit worn and tired looking and lacked privacy from the adjacent pool area and the walkway to the other units. The main restaurant street is a 20 min walk away and walking after dark was not recommended. Overall, it was an ok one-night stay. However, we had expected more based on the ratings.

Super schönes Gästehaus mit Liebe zum Detail. Das Frühstück ist herausragend und besteht aus Vor- und Eierspeise. Unser Zimmer war liebevoll eingerichtet mit allem, was man benötigt.

Marie is a warm and inviting host, nothing appears to be too much trouble. Our room was spacious with an outdoor seating & patio area. The guest house is on the edge of town and so we used a cab service when heading out for dinner in the evening. Marie organised and booked(very cheap and nice driver) She also recommended 2 restaurants where the food was very good. The Swartberg Pass drive was something else and we were glad to reach the very lovely Prince Albert town which was lovely. The Caves were also worth a visit. We would definitely recommend the Earthbound guest house.

Fantastic stay. They have thought of every detail & nothing was too much trouble. Arranged our choice of table each night & taxi as well. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Wunderschönes B&B in einer sicheren Gegend. Liebevoll zubereitetes Frühstück, sehr schöne Zimmer mit tollen Badezimmern.

Great stay! Our room was fantastic with a private garden. Very clean, comfortable and roomy! The pool area was comfortable with a fire pit which many guests utilized.The hostess was very helpful with suggesting things for us to do during our stay. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and she even served it earlier than normal to accommodate our early departure.

The booking was easy and the venue was well managed with very friendly staff. Great breakfast included

This is a really lovely setting, with the rooms having private outdoor sitting areas. Everything is very comfortable and clean. The owner Marie is a wonderful host, friendly, welcoming, and concerned that our visit was perfect. She is very knowledgeable about places to visit in the area. Her dinner recommendations (Jemima's and Nostalgie) were both excellent. This was one of the nicest b&bs that we visited during a 9-day trip to the Cape region of South Africa. Breakfast served in an intimate outdoor (but enclosed for the cool of the morning) dining area was perfect. We were very pleased with our visit.

very friendly host, who know how to handle a glutenfree breakfast option - lovingly furnished rooms - in total a nice place to be

Marie est très avenante et n’hésite pas à conseiller sur les activités à faire. De plus, l’hébergement est idéal tant au niveau géographique que pour la qualité des prestations. Le petit-déjeuner est incroyable.

Super friendly host/manager. Warm welcome, tentative. Rooms and property are as per pictures. My family and I would like to go back and stay longer :-))))

Excellent value for Money, friendly service and very attentive and great breakfast. Highly recommend

My room(upgraded) amazing caring staff,caring service that goes beyond makes my stay at Earthbound above excellence! Thank you very much,Marie,Ayla and all the staff.

Nice homely place. Very well put together. Ayla was very attentive and helpful

Great place to stay , staff are really friendly and accommodating to your needs. Shame we only stayed for one night!

The staff and property are amazing, another excellent stay

Very nice property situated in a quiet suburb only 5 minutes drive from town centre. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Our room was very comfortable. There is free secure parking.

Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit dieser Unterkunft. Das Hotel war in einem ruhigen Quartier und doch fühlten wir uns wie einer eigenen Oase. Die Inhaberin hat uns wertvolle Tipps gegeben für Oudtshoorn zu entdecken und gute Restaurants empfohlen. Das Frühstück war lecker und das Zimmer einwandfrei.

Chambre spacieuse et joliment décorée. Terrasse extérieure privative (chambre n04) très bien aménagée. Excellent petit déjeuner

Excellent attention to detail with great breakfasts just wished it was in a more picturesque location.

Magnifique B&B où tout est fait pour que l'on se sente comme chez soi; chambre spacieuse avec une très belle salle de bain; très bon petit déjeuner; staff accueillant et très chaleureux. A recommander!

Super schöne Zimmer,die mit vielen extra Kleinigkeiten eingerichtet sind.Wir hatten Zimmer 1 und eine eigene kleine Terrasse dabei.Abends wird ein "Frühstückszettel" ausgefüllt und abgegeben.Das Frühstück wurde morgens serviert und war köstlich!Wir hatten Probleme bei einer Buchung zu den Erdmännchen,wozu uns sehr nett geholfen wurde.Zudem gab es Rabatte bei verschiedenen Attraktionen in der Umgebung (Straußenfarm...) und kleine Souvenirs zu einem fairen Preis.Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen!

Schöne und gut gepflegte Unterkunft. Würde wieder hinfahren :-)

Room and the Property was really nice, clean and beautifully decorated. It was comfortable to stay. We got welcome drinks and sweets. The attendant was extremely helpful and friendly. There is a cat on the property who generally stays quiet, and on request, the attendant took her inside since I am allergic to cats.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Overall great stay and definitely recommended to future guests. Thanks.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und unbedingt weiterzuempfehlen!

We stayed there one night after a long drive from Franschhoek on road 62. This place was perfect for our day. Close to a couple of good restaurents in town, and in a safe neiborhood. At our arrival we were immidately greeted and showed around the property. The room was really comfortable, and plenty of information were available on what to do in the area. On the next day, we had a delicious breakfast there and were informed on the ostrich farms and the activities to do nearby. Would comeback anytime.

Guesthouse is in a good location to explore the area. Very helpful staff and owners. The rooms and furniture (especially the mattress in our room) needs some maintenance to stay top class. Overall a good choice for 2 nights

Everything was just wonderful. The room we had was out near the pool, in what it felt like an individual standalone building, so one we were left to it just felt like a home away from home. Never used the pool as it was colder that day and raining, however the honesty box was a great idea, saved us having to pop out for drinks etc. Breakfast was great, tasty and quick. Couldnt fault a thing, clean, comfortable and quiet, would fully recommend!

Great atmosphere, late check out was no problem, great guidance to find reasonable running possibilities for my wife and me, we really enjoyed the outstanding hospitality and we would have loved to extend our stay - but for sure we will come back

It was Perfect place to stay.

Fantastisch!!! Das absolute Verwöhnaroma. In dieser Unterkunft ist wirklich für alles gesorgt

ein tolles Zimmer, gemütlich und modern zugleich. Toller Service, gute Tipps, hat sich sehr familiär angefühlt

Sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Beim Frühstück ist für jeden etwas dabei. Das Personal ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

Einzigartige Unterkunft, sehr angenehm, toll und durchdacht ausgestattet. Den vorhandenen Platz perfekt ausgenutzt! Toller Service!

Very comfortable,clean rooms. Close to restaurants etc. Lovely breakfast by the pool in the morning. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Closer to Cango Caves which was our reason for staying here.

Beautiful room with open air (covered) sitting area. Quiet but within walking distance of restaurants

Tranquil and relaxing. Wished we could have stayed longer at this beautiful B & B. Everything was just perfect.

Muy lindo lugar. Muy confortable y cálido. Totalmente recomendable!!!!

This was the best place I stayed at along my travels on the Garden Route. The rooms are clean, comfortable and decorated with so much love. Also everything you can think of is provided (from slippers to tea/coffee and a little welcome snack+liquor). The pool and garden are the perfect place to relax. I also got a lot of useful information on what to do in the area.

Amazing in every way! Room pool breakfast and fantastic owner who provided information.

This is a wonderful property, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

FABULOUS HIDDEN HAVEN AND BEAUTIFULLY KEPT INSIDE AND OUT. IT WAS SUCH A SURPRISE TO FIND SUCH A GEM IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.. DELIGHTFUL STAFF AND OWNER SUCH ATTENTION TO DETAIL DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE.

Amazing stay. Very friendly. Breakfast was great

Outstanding! What more can be said that improved on OUTSTANDING

Leider haben wir hier nur eine Nacht verbracht. Das Zimmer 2 ist sehr geräumig mit bequemen Bett und großem modernen Bad. Davor befindet sich ein eigener Bereich mit Tisch und zwei Stühlen sowie einem Kühlschrank. Alles ist sehr sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet. Die Einrichtung hat einen esoterischen Touch und die Hausherrin gestaltet vieles selber. Der Garten mit Poolbereich ist sehr schön gestaltet. Hier befindet sich auch eine überdachte Terrasse. Dort kann man Abends wunderbar sitzen. Getränke (alkoholisch und nonalkoholisch) sind vorhanden und werden auf Vertrauensbasis zur Abrechnung bei Abreise angeboten. Auf der Terrasse wird auch das Frühstück serviert. Massagen werden ebenfalls auf dem Zimmer angeboten, wofür unsere Zeit aber leider nicht gereicht hat. Die Hausherren und die Bediensteten sind sehr nett. Das WiFi war umsonst, aber leider auch nur sehr schwach. Da sonst alles prima war, trotzdem volle Punktzahl.

great cozy location; been there one night but should have stayed longer. everything was perfect!

Location was nice, very friendly staff and Management. Walking distance to Oudtshoorn Restaurants

we had a fab overnight stay here - the room was clean and comfortable with an excellent breakfast.

Very good place!!!

One word.... Stunning.

Everything has been thought of to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. Excellent host, great room and grounds. Definitely recommend.

Das Earthbound B&B ist ein nettes kleines B&B. Die Ausstattung ist sehr charmant und die Gastgeber sind supernett. 2 Nächte sollte man Mind. hier bleiben. Es gibt soo viel zu entdecken.

Esse hotel é excelente! A responsável Marie é muito simpática, atenciosa e competente, o lugar é lindo, bem cuidado, nossa suite era um charme! o café da manhã é ótimo e a atenção aos detalhes é surpreendente!

Sehr schönes, einladendes und komfortables B&B. Man fühlt sich zu Hause. Sehr gutes Frühstück, sehr freundliche Besitzerin und aufmerksames Personal . Erwartungen übertroffen!

Amazing B&B! Best place we stayed in our time in South Africa. Wished we had been staying for longer!

Earthbound is a beautiful spot to stay. Attention to every detail make this place special. It looks like nothing from the outside but inside it is like a secret garden. My room was spacious clean and decorated beautifully. The pool here is very nice with comfortable seating areas.

Good location with very friendly staff and nice facilities. Good for a family with kids.

diese Gästehaus ist immer ein Besuch wert. Schöne und mit Geschmack eingerichtete Zimmer. Ruhige Lage und Parkplatz vor dem Haus.

Lovely hostess of this super guesthouse made us very welcome and was very helpful with local advice.

Das B&B ist absolut klasse - die beste Unterkunft, die wir auf unserer Rundreise in Südafrika hatten mit dem besten Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Wir zahlten ca 67€ pro Zimmer und Nacht. Der Pool ist schön zum entspannen nach einem anstrengenden Tag, sauber und hübsch. Zimmer mit kleiner Küche und riesig groß. Die Vermieterin ist sehr hilfsbereit und man fühlt sich wie bei Freunden Zuhause :) wir kommen nochmal wieder.

Beautiful boutique B&B with mod comodiities (air con!). The room was very spacious as was the bathroom with a free standing tub and walking shower. Kitchen corner available in the room with utensils and delicious breakfast made to order, served outside (in the shade) by the pool. We were only here for one night on route to Cape Town but I would’ve loved to have stayed longer if we had the time, I would defiantly recommend it!

We stayed at Earthbound B&B in early September and really enjoyed our brief visit. The property is located in a residential area and provides secure parking. It is a short walk to a local cafe or a short drive to a nearby shopping centre. The rooms (we had Room 5) are clean and comfortable, with a fantastic shower and quirky decoration. There is a pool (which we didn't use) and breakfast is ample and nicely presented. Our hostess was very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this property.

I stayed one night at this great guesthouse and the staff was extremely nice. The pool area was a great place to lounge and our private room even had a nice little breakfast nook. I would definitely stay here again.

This B&B was simply one of the best B&B's we stayed in recently in our travels around South Africa. The host was attentive, the room beautifully decorated and the attention to detail, not only in the B&B, but to clients' surrounding holiday needs are outstanding, with restaurant information and maps to hand in the bed rooms. Breakfast was also ample and delicious. We had an amazing overnight stay and highly recommend Earthbound B&B.

Great B&B, very well maintained. It was neat and tidy. Newly refurbished rooms. Host was very friendly. It's a shame we were there only for one night though. Safe parking available as well.

The whole experience is one of luxury-nothing is too much trouble and the staff are first class. If you want a great b and b please stay here!

Of all the lovely places we stayed in South Africa, Earthbound was the best. Shame we were only there for one night – wish we had planned a week! The rooms are fabulously decorated and fully equipped – right down to separate shower and bathtub and even slippers and bathrobes for use around the pool. Each room has its own private outdoor seating area, and the garden and pool area is a delightful place to relax. Marie was so friendly and helpful, and insisted on providing us with a tray of breakfast items for our early morning departure. Thank you!

Very nice place and very confortable. A welcome sherry provided in room. Good location just outside of town center (a 20-min walk). Secured and easy parking. Good wifi and TV channels. Very nice host. Very good value for money.

The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. The facilities and pool were incredibly clean and in top shape. If you're looking for a base in Oudtshoorn, this is the bed and breakfast for you.

Stopped here overnight driving garden route visited ostrich farm if doing R62 again would possibly choose Barrydale or Montagu

The apartments are well equipped and every detail has been considered, super clean and great hosting. Highly recommended

The hostess was friendly, professional, helpful and extremely informative without being intrusive...we really appreciated that after a long day of driving. I do think that the ingredient top-ups at breakfast were a bit excessive but otherwise it was a fantastic stay. The room had every possible amenity and the aircon was a lovely relief from the Oudtshoorn heat!

Good place to stay, good breakfast, very friendly, good value

Had a lovely two night stay.

Very good breakfast, stayed in room no 1 where bed was not comfortable for two people. Shower control was terrible. Owner said control (handle for control) had a problem due to gas hot water heater. I have gas water heater at home without any problem. All other amenities were good.

We enjoyed this comfortable and well appointed B&B. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very well set up and comfortable and the service was great.

We really enjoyed our short stay. We were well looked after and location was great.

Marie the owner of Earthbound is an exceptional lady. She is very hands-on, and totally committed to ensuring each and every guest is 100% comfortable. She is also very charming. My room was lovely, quirky without being too over the top, and the bathroom was sublime - a lovely little Victorian hip-bath and a full walk-in wet room type separate shower. Lots of little touches to ensure the comfort and wellbeing of the client. Great breakfast and all in all a place I would visit a second and third time. Brava Maria!!

Very friendly reception and our hosts did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible from booking a lovely restaurant for dinner with a table on the fire place and pick up from the hotel to trips the next days. The room was cosy and nicely decorated although it was freezing but there was aircon and a heater in the bathroom. We got a hot chocolate on arrival to warm up. Breakfast was relatively basic but ok in an covered outdoor area with gas heaters and blankets. Very friendly place and good base to explore the surrounding sights.

Wish we had stayed longer as the hotel is in a lovely area and the staff were extremely helpful throughout our stay, giving bus plenty suggestions of things to do, places to eat, etc.

Set in a quiet street this is a great place to relax. The owner is almost obsessive in keeping everything neat and tidy. The breakfast servers and room maids are encouraged to talk with the guests, which is nice to see in the modern South Africa. The breakfasts are really good, and each room has its own patio area if you don't want to eat with other guests - we didn't see anybody take up this option though.

Excellent hospitality. Hosts went out of their way to help us out.

We had very quick but nice stay here - the manager was very friendly and showed us the place as we arrived. We stayed here on our way to Cango Caves (it's only 40 mins away), and we were very close to the town centre for the night. They gave us a nice gift as well as we were were on our honeymoon, which was pretty good given the price

Noises pigeon breeder with loud guard dog next door!

This was probably the best b&b we've stayed at. The owner was a great host and the rooms had everything you could possibly want. If there wasn't something in that room I'm sure she'd get it for you. The rooms were spotless, decent size and you want for nothing. They were kind enough to let us have a slightly later breakfast as we weren't on the meerkat tour in the morning and missed the official time.

The house is in great condition, with a small pool and nice garden. My upstairs room was spacious, with a private breakfast area just outside the room, and a spacious bathroom (no bath tub though). Breakfast was good; nice omelette but not a full English breakfast. Both bathrobes and slippers are provided, but slippers did not look new, so we didn't use them. Welcome sherry provided in room. Good location just outside of town center (a 20-min walk). Secured and easy parking. Good wifi and TV channels. Very nice host. Very good value for money.

Staff and owner very kind. The place is very clean. Excellent breakfast in the morning.

The service was great, I'd stay here again.

I had a great stay here - lovely relaxing B&B with great service.

Amazing bed and breakfast,greeted warmly by the owner on our arrival and even in the evening on our return out from dinner.Absolutely everything you could possibly want was provided including reading glasses and sherry in your room. There is a nice pool and b&q area as well

Excellent service, unique and charming set up. Loved the private breakfast set up

Earthbound B&B has taken a lot of effort to think of everything you could need and squeeze it in! The room itself was relatively small but no space was wasted and with a private outside eating area (complete with heater and blankets) and a pool and BBQ area for better weather that is not a problem.The B&B may not be as central as some but was only a short walk from the centre of Oudtshoorn and a great base for exploring the area. Thoroughly recommend Earthbound B&B!

We stayed in room 2 upstairs for an over night stop. Overall it was fit for purpose. Good points were the shower, the staff and the poolside. Bad points were the small bed and noisy room (the window didn't close properly so we were woken by barking dogs and traffic).

Wonderful B&B - attention to detail - staff were super - lovely clean and comfortable room. Only thing missing were Left Handed Teaspoons !!! 1st class

We were made to feel very welcome at this very pleasant guesthouse.The room was beautifully decorated and there was every thing you could need and more.A welcome sherry and an offer to be taken or picked up from the hosts restaurant was offered but the accommodation was not far from town.Easy to visit the caves and osritch farms and of course the best ostrich to be eaten.Breakfast each morning came in a basket to be eaten on our private terrace.A lovely stay.

a little overpriced for what we got. No door on bathroom so the people in bedroom can see and hear whatever is going on in there,so no privacy. The 2nd bed and 3rd bed for the other 2 guests was a pull out couch that was really uncomfortable. There is a leak in the roof so we had to move the couch away creating a space problem in the bigger room. The host was very kind and friendly helping us out with bedding and mattress for a 5th guest that she did not charge us for. I would say this is good if you cant find anything else, but I think it was a little too much to pay for what we got
