Oudrif Strawbale Retreat

“A lovely spot to unwind and appreciate what is around”

Janine and Bill were amazing hosts, full of local knowledge and interesting stories; the food was the best we’ve had—though they’re vegetarians, they cooked meat for us the first night, and the second night we declined because the vegetarian dishes were so good; we loved the dogs and the walk with Bill, which was both informative and beautiful; everything was perfect—go for a wonderful two‑day off‑grid escape.

“A great place to unwind!”

A perfect escape from everything – no Wi‑Fi, no TV, no social media, just a place to rest, relax and unwind. We liked it all!

We had a lovely time at Oudrift! Avoid the route by , and instead follow the map the owners gave you. It’s a beautiful spot, with no power or signal, but everything is organised and comfortable – you really want to be off the grid. The river was dry when we arrived, though there are plenty of nearby swimming spots by the chalets. It’s really pretty. Food for your soul! All guests eat together at the main lodge, and we met amazing people sharing life stories over meals. Well done Bill and Jeanine – we truly enjoyed our stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Oudrif. The pictures don’t even capture this place. The cabins are gorgeous, private, cosy, comfortable, clean, and all with a great view. Being offline for 3 days added so much value to the experience. Highlights were the morning walks with Jeanine, who generously shared her love and knowledge of the area, and Bills stories over dinner. The food was amazing, especially the vegetarian dishes, and the animals were the cherry on the cake. This was a truly nurturing stay for both body and soul. Highly recommend.

“Perfect way to escape the hussle!”

A cosy, well‑decorated cottage with mountain and river views, delicious healthy meals, and breathtaking nature to explore! Nothing really.
