Read More...Thanks Barry & Sissy, for this exchange. We really enjoyed your beautiful home, with a lovely fire place to keep us warm during the chilly evenings. During the day we had lovely trips to Prince Albert, George, Mossel Bay, Wilderness, and of course the HighGate Ostrich Farm, but also relaxed days reading in the sun outside. We had never been to this part of our country, so it was great to have this opportunity. All the best with your future exchanges.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Lovely home with very private garden and large pool. Oudtshoorn is in the Klein Karoo, a dry hot area, surrounded by mountains and wineries. Temperatures are in the 25 - 35 range in the summer (Dec-Feb) and lovely days in the 20's and cool nights, down to 2 - 5 degrees, during the winter (June-August). Visitors tend to use the house as a base to tour southern South Africa. Cape Town is 5 hours drive to the west, the Garden Route and beautiful beaches are 1 hour to the South. Addo National park with the Big 5 game are 4 hours to the East. The area is malaria free and has the lowest crime rate in the SA. It's safe to walk everywhere. We have domestic help and a gardener one day a week. Your washing and ironing will be taken care of by our lovely Audrey. Come and escape the N Hemisphere winter.
