During our recent visit to the KKNK (2013) in Oudtshoorn, we stayed privately with a dear friend and had a whale of a time. We also scouted around for reasonable accommodation “with that extra touch”. Tilly, our friend, arranged a meeting and introduced us to the owners of the La Pension Guest House. The welcome, as we got out of... More

...Would be the phrase I will shamelessly steal that best describes our stay at La Penison. We had eagerly looked forward to staying in Outshorn and had opted for La Pension after a recommendation. We were not to be disappointed and from the start we made to feel very welcome. The room was immaculate and wonderfully presented. Errol and Venita... More

We received a warm welcome from Venita and were offered to stay in the cottage. We could not find fault in any aspect of La Pension. Location, accommodation, breakfasts, the pool, the honesty bar - all ticked the right boxes. Would certainly stay here again!

Errol and Venita are the most wonderful hosts. The guest house is beautiful, the breakfasts just outstanding. The hosts could not be nicer or more interesting. Nice pool. Nice grounds. Can walk into town for restaurants. We will stay here again.

We've stayed here before. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious, and the grounds are attractive and restful; great swimming pool and surrounding area. We tuck in to the hearty breakfasts which are a good start to the day. Errol and Venita are wonderful hosts who always make our stay pleasurable.
