Overlooking the Swartberg Mountains and surrounded by a peaceful garden, Thylitshia Villa Country Guest House is housed in a traditional Cape Dutch building and combines classic ambience with modern touches. Enjoy a leisurely home-cooked breakfast either on the patio or in the colonial-style dining room. For relaxation, you can have a dip at the swimming pool or immerse yourself into the quiet beauty of the landscaped gardens. Thylitshia Villa is a wonderful retreat in the heart of the Little Karoo, just outside Oudtshoorn. Attractions in the area include the Cango Caves and a Safari Show farm.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.
