Welcome

Welgeluk Accommodation

Set in the stillness of the Klein Karoo countryside, this exquisitely renovated Ostrich Feather Palace beckons guests to enjoy generous hospitality along with a luxurious stay.

Built in 1910, the Edwardian sandstone house is a beautifully preserved remnant of the ostrich feather boom and was proclaimed a national monument in 1979.

With scenic views and tame game on your doorstep, this truly is a nature lover’s Eden.

A stay at Welgeluk also offers an experience that’s quite unique to Oudtshoorn as destination, as you’ll find us on a working ostrich farm, right next to well-known Safari Ostrich Farm.

Apart from our 5 luxury B&B rooms, there’s also the option of 2 cosy self-catering cottages, each sleeping 6 guests.

We stayed at Welgeluk Feather Palae for two nights. It was such a great experience. Already on the road we crossed several ostriches beloning to Welgeluk. The acommondation is outstanding. The architecture mixed with a lot of nice & modern interior makes you feel diving into another century. The very lovely owners showed us the complete property and explained everything to us. They are so friendly and the hospitality was outstanding. Nice food, funny and interesting conversation, great tipps for things to do in the area and the acommondation itself made us feel home! A 12 out of 10! ???? we will come back! Thanks for the Great time.

What an astonishing place. The rooms are stunning, every inch of decor is considered. The beds super comfy, the breakfast plentiful. What makes it though are the hosts (including James the Dog, who we love), so attentive yet respectful and so, so welcoming. We were made to feel as though the house was ours (and we wish it was!). A recommended stay for anyone.
