A hearty welcome on the farm. Cottages are delightful and great for families.
In the picturesque Schoemanshoek Valley near Oudtshoorn in the Klein Karoo, the Schoeman family extend a warm and friendly welcome to their 9th generation home, where Piet and Laura continue the tradition of hospitality offered by mother Rosie.
Individually decorated bedrooms offer air-conditioning, jacuzzi bath and tea tray. Self-catering cottages provide comfort and an option for nature lovers wanting more privacy. Each has a private braai as well as a jacuzzi bath. The swimming pool is perfect for that morning or afternoon dip, and is complemented by the stunning surrounding views.
Enjoy one of Berluda's famous ostrich farm tours (in German, Dutch or English) during which you'll have a unique opportunity to gain an insight into the farming activities of a real working ostrich farm. A visit to the hatchery will be the cherry on top, while the curio shop offers quality ostrich leather products at very competitive prices. Exciting meerkat encounters are also available during which you'll head out on an early morning drive to their burrows and you'll get to watch them go about their daily routine - it's really an experience to remember. Other activities include sunset drives, fishing, mountain biking, hiking and exploring the nearby attractions, such as the Cango Caves and various Oudtshoorn museums.

GUEST FEEDBACK
Cottage No. 8
"What a beautiful surrounding there at Berluda!! We got an upgrade from Cottage No. 1 to Cottage No. 8 and were so next to the fences of the ostriches. Our children were enthusiastic! Laura Schoeman and her staff are very very friendly and made our short stay really special. They recommended a very good restaurant for dinner and made us a delicious breakfast in the morning with a special "apple-Auflauf" (we do not know the correct word). The farm tour at the next morning was also great!!! We were allowed to hold little ostriches on our arms, saw the incubator and how the feathers were taken from the ostriches. We were very happy that we had booked Berluda!!"
