Goodhouse is a town located on the southern bank of the Orange River, near the Namibia border in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa.
The town is situated approximately 60 km south-west of Warmbad and 60 km south-east of Vioolsdrif.
The name is a folk etymological adaptation of the Khoekhoen Gudaos, ‘sheep ford’, said to be the place where the Namas crossed the Orange River with their sheep when they trekked from Little Namaqualand to Great Namaqualand.
Goodhouse falls within Nama Khoi Local Municipality and the Namakwa District Municipality.
