R5.5m for Oudtshoorn lodge

An upmarket guest lodge and wellness spa close to Oudtshoorn's famous Cango Caves is on the market at R5.5m.

Oudtshoorn, the ostrich feather capital of the world, is situated in the Klein Karoo about 55 km from the coastal town of George. Thirty kilometres north of the town is one of the world's great natural wonders, the Cango Caves.

New on the market is an upmarket guest lodge and wellness spa situated on the 'Golden Mile' on the way to the caves. Situated opposite the Cango Wildlife Ranch, the oldest and biggest cheetah contact centre worldwide, guests at the lodge sometimes go to sleep with the growling of cheetahs and lion in the background. The last property on the edge of town (en route to the Cango Caves), herds of springbok and the odd camel visit the fence.
