Oulap Country House, South Africa (this camp has since closed)
"Oulap Country House review"
2 nights
Arrived
19 Mar 2008
"An interesting experience but not one that we would want to repeat.
The location was not good for us as part of our return journey to Capetown and the house really is miles from anywhere.
The house was full of the owners memorabilia and our room was a little shabby with unsatisfactory shower facility and rather poor towels. We found the owner amiable but rather prone to drone on about himself, his past and his achievements."

Feedback response
Oulap is a quirky little lodge filled with lots of antiques and nick-nacks. It is run by its owners, Jans and Almerie, who are both strong characters. Staying at Oulap is to be a guest in their home – it’s far from the relatively anonymous experience of a hotel. However, clearly the experience at Oulap doesn’t appeal to everyone’s taste, so we are sorry that it wasn’t right for these travellers.
To put this in perspective, most of our previous travellers have really enjoyed their stay at Oulap – as have our team when we have visited it. Jans is very knowledgeable about the local area, and he is often praised for his helpful advice. That said, after reading this report we will monitor comments from future travellers most carefully.
