Whenever we are in Oudtshoorn we have decided that The Yot Club is the only place to stay. This was our third time and once again The Yot Club B & B has lived up to their reputation.

“Hospitality, convenience and great breakfasts!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2013

Had a wonderful 2 days with Des & Liz (again!) Definitely my favourite place to stay in Oudtshoorn. Nice and central, so if my guests are staying at more a upmarket place, then its the Yotclub for me, but if I am planning the trip - then it's the Yotclub for all and I have always had delighted guests.

“don't look any further”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2013

Great location, lovely hosts Des and Liz and friendly competent staff. Outstanding homemade breakfast, reasonable rates. Yotclub offers the best of both worlds: situated in the centre of town 50 m off the main road, but quiet and lovely rural area with lovely garden and great views in the backyard.
