***EXCLUSIVE MANDATE***
Steeped in history and renowned for its exceptional hospitality, La Pension Guest House presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Oudtshoorn's most established boutique hospitality businesses. Operating as a successful going concern, it boasts an outstanding 9.8 Booking. com rating, is ranked #1 on TripAdvisor in Oudtshoorn (out of 42 establishments), and has earned Travelers' Choice recognition, placing it among the top 10% of accommodation establishments worldwide.
Set on almost an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens in one of Oudtshoorn's most desirable suburbs, the estate offers 10 beautifully appointed bedrooms across several unique buildings, providing privacy, flexibility, and exceptional guest experiences.
The original 1914 Cape Dutch home forms the heart of the estate, offering two spacious bedrooms, elegant reception rooms with Oregon pine floors and pressed ceilings throughout most of the home, a country-style kitchen, and a luxury en-suite guest suite. A separate one-bedroom manager's cottage provides on-site accommodation.
Originally built in 1906, The Barn is the oldest building on the property. This beautifully restored sandstone building offers two luxury bedrooms, a modern bathroom, an open-plan lounge with a wood-burning fireplace and UHD 4K TV, a fully equipped state-of-the-art kitchen, and the "world's smallest wine cellar," created from the original underground vehicle inspection pit. Three air conditioners, underfloor heating in the bathroom, a private undercover verandah, a wooden deck, a private BBQ area, and private, secure, undercover, off-street parking complete this unique guest retreat.
A separate guest lodge comprises four fully furnished en-suite bedrooms, each with air conditioning, smart TVs, and quality finishes. Guests also enjoy a welcoming entrance hall, a communal lounge with a gas fireplace and a library, a dining area, fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, covered verandah overlooking the gardens, and dedicated parking for each suite.
The estate comprises two title deeds with dual street access, serviced by Eskom electricity, municipal water, a water well, a 44-panel solar system with an 8kW inverter, and a 13kVA backup generator. Additional highlights include the popular Lucky Bean Coffee Bar, licensed Madi Bar and entertainment area with a built-in braai and fully equipped commercial kitchen, a large, salt-chlorinated swimming pool, 1GB fibre internet, extensive above- and underground water storage, and an 11-camera CCTV security system.
Offered as a fully operational turnkey business with established global booking platforms, reservation systems, and an average occupancy rate of 69%, La Pension offers an exceptional opportunity to continue its successful legacy or create your own vision for one of the Klein Karoo's most iconic hospitality destinations.
