The Queen's Hotel is an oasis of colonial elegance and wired modern convenience in the heart of Oudtshoorn - the capital of the beautiful semi-arid Klein Karoo. Finished in 1880, this grand dame of South African hoteliery has recently been restored to her full original beauty and continues to offer sumptuous accommodation, service and dining that is reminiscent of a bygone era but driven by dynamic modern hotel management. The Queen's can accommodate 84 people in the 40 non-smoking rooms (Double, Twin, Family And Deluxe). All have Wi-Fi, individually remote-controlled air-conditioning, satellite TV, direct dial telephone, clock radio, work desk, safe, coffee/tea facilities, communal lounge area and bathrooms with overhead/separate shower & bath, towels, toiletries & luxury linen. Hotel facilities include a restaurant, swimming pool and cafe.

Hog Hollow restaurant
Hog Hollow dining caters for in-house guests only.
The choice of dining around the communal candle-lit main table, or to be seated separately, or even outside on a balmy African evening, is yours.
We offer an optional set three course dinner each evening. There is always a choice of starter and main courses, a vegetarian menu, and the chefs can cater for almost all dietary requirements: wheat intolerance, diabetic diets, vegans, etc.
Our kitchen is not Kosher or Halaal, but we have successfully accommodated these specific dietary requirements. We do, obviously need to know these requirements in advance.
We also offer a range of children-friendly dishes. Light lunches are served on request too.
For those opting to eat out, we assist our guests to make reservations at the variety of restaurants in and around the area.
