Welcome to

The Ostrich Baron's Palace

Built in 1908 near Oudtshoorn, in the heart of the Little Karoo, The Ostrich Baron’s Palace is a magnificently restored heritage guesthouse offering timeless elegance and refined comfort. One of only a few original Feather Palaces still in existence, it stands as a proud reminder of South Africa’s ostrich-feather boom. 

With seven elegant en-suite rooms, the Palace combines historic grandeur with warm Karoo hospitality, inviting guests to enjoy a truly distinctive stay. Surrounded by the wide-open landscapes and dramatic mountain backdrops of the Little Karoo, it offers a tranquil escape rich in character and heritage.
