Marie van der Spuy
Earthbound is a small cozy 6 bedroom bed and breakfast which strives to let the customers enjoy every minute of their stay while exploring Oudtshoorn and the surroundings. We are very proud of the way Earthbound is progressing to an outstanding B&B. As of 1st October 2023, any cancellation/refund will have a bank charge/admin fee for your account.
I am passionate about my small B&B and the way we run the business. It has always been a goal off mine to have my own business one day. I love people, sport and the wild life and I am lucky to say that I am able to do it all. I feel very blessed.
Earthbound B&B is situated in a quiet residential area but is close to all the activities that can be enjoyed while visiting the Klein Karoo. We are close to all the Ostrich Show farms, the Meerkat Magic, Cango Wildlife Ranch, Buffelsdrift Game Farm, Cango caves and the famous Swartberg Pass. The restaurants are 1.2km from the Hotel and it is a very safe area to walk. From here you can visit many small towns like prins Albert, Mosselbay, Heroldsbay, Wilderness ext. All can be done as day trips. If you are a keen golfer there are many famous Golf Courses within one hour drives.
