YACHT CLUB B & B THE
Accommodation Services in Oudtshoorn

On our own private riverfront in the centre of Oudtshoorn A birding & otter sanctuary. We are a few minutes (safe) walk to all leading restaurants and shops. With uninterrupted views of the majestic Swartberg Mountains and overlooking the Grobbelaars River, the Yotclub B&B is a tranquil base from which to explore all that the Little Karoo has to offer. The Yotclub is also a birding and otter sanctuary and features an otter and bird hide on the property where guests can enjoy looking for cape clawless otters and over 70 species of birds. The main building has high ceilings, thick mud-brick walls and wooden sash windows. It is now regarded as an Oudtshoorn heritage property. The original building was modified in 1931, to include the Cape Dutch-style gable and verandas which surround it on 3 sides, helping to keep the building cool in our very warm summers, and warm in the winters. The high loft space of the pitched roof also helps greatly with temperature control. Hence there is no need for air conditioning in the main house, but all outside rooms, which were built later, have air conditioning. The property was a private home until it was changed in 1994 with the intention of creating the Yotclub B&B. It was upgraded to include en-suite bathrooms for guest rooms, and carpets and flooring were removed to reveal the original oregon floors. The painted fireplace was restored to its original glory and is a main feature in the breakfast room. The garden was completely redesigned and now bears no resemblance to what it used to be. She was compiling a book of her life, and had grown up in the homestead.
