    The cottage was very clean and spacious. We really appreciated the homemade bread, wine and flowers! Elmarie also went out of her way to ensure we had what we needed for our special bridal weekend.

Elmarie Coetzee
Kandelaars Cottage is nestled between the hills of the beautiful, serene Karoo valley of Kandelaarsrivier which is just under 10 minutes drive from Oudtshoorn on the main route to Mossel Bay. The Cottage is tucked away just far enough to have the remote country-side feel yet it is easily accessible for guests to and fro their desired destinations. Kandelaars Cottage is lovingly restored with its original farm-stay touch still celebrated. The surroundings of hilltops, the Kandelaars River, neighbouring farmlands and ostrich farms all add to this quaint cottage's unmistakable charm. The nature-lover and outdoor enthusiast can enjoy hiking and biking trails when stepping off the veranda, set out through the untouched Karoo landscapes where bird-life and small antelope are in abundance. The Cottage was designed to be enjoyed by guests old and young, for a relaxing holiday, weekend getaway or a quick sleepover - it will leave a lasting impression regardless of the reason for the stay. Nature, beauty, privacy and the simpler things in life are at the core of the experience when visiting Kandelaars Cottage.
The Coetzee family cordially invite you to enjoy their hospitality. The owner and his son, are 5th generation commercial ostrich farmers. . A private, intimate tour of the farm is offered to guests at a set price. The surrounding country side and farm life can be seen and felt all around and an authentic Klein Karoo experience is guaranteed. The warmth and charm of Kandelaars will leave a lasting impression on any guest and a return visit is inevitable.
The small country-side valley of Kandelaarsrivier is just under 10 minutes' drive from the Klein Karoo town of Oudtshoorn, which is along the popular Route 62. The Kandelaars River can be seen from the veranda of the cottage and the neighbouring lucern farmlands and ostrich farms complete the Karoo country-side experience. Safari & Highgate Ostrich Show Farms are a short 5 minutes' drive. The beautiful Swartberg Mountains can be seen as soon as you get onto the open road, with the world-renowned Swartberg Pass and Cango Caves being a 35 minutes' drive away. Around March-April you can enjoy the annual Klein Karoo National Arts Festival in Oudtshoorn as well as the Klein Karoo Klassique in August. Oudtshoorn and its surroundings boast of the best hiking, biking and running trails in the country, with numerous marathons and events being held throughout the year. The area also has exciting adventurous attractions for the thrill-seekers like the Cango Wildlife Ranch and Crocodile Farm, while wine farms such as Karusa, Grundheim and Black Mountain Breweries are on offer for the more relaxed.
