Old House Lodge

Beautiful old house, beautifully furnished, friendly reception but we could not sleep at all because of trucks and cars that race down next to the window of the room. Right through the night.

It was sort of luck we booked at this charming , well run guesthouse, with an absolute awesome manager who kept us up to date during our trip from Gauteng to Beauford west The guest house is very cosy with beautiful furniture, spotless clean in a laid back atmospere Plus from the gh was the safe parking and again the manager at duty The word guest house comes alive when you enter this establishment , you feel like a guest Another enlightening experience was the clean town, streets were spotlessly clean! The manager advised several eating spots and we chooe the 4 sheep restaurant, great food and service

Excellent stay. The host was very understanding and accommodative. The breakfast was so good. I will revisit.

Character of house, great staff and awesome breakfast. The staff went out of their way to ensure our comfort.

Our stay at Old House Lodge was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were excellent, well-furnished, and equipped with air conditioning, which was a much-appreciated relief from the heat. The bed is incredibly comfortable! I wish I could have taken it with me. We had a mini fridge and other niceties - lovely set up! Unfortunately, the experience went downhill when we experienced a power outage that occurred about an hour after our arrival. With windows that don’t open, sleeping became quite uncomfortable, leaving us exhausted for our trip to Cape Town the following morning. Furthermore, the house itself is not soundproof, and we were woken up at 3 a.m. by other guests leaving (you can hear everyone else's movements), which disrupted our rest further. We were disappointed to learn about the frequent power outages only after checking in, through a notice at reception. This was something we wish we had been informed about beforehand. The pool was a definite highlight of the property, providing a great way to cool off in the heat. I'd recommend not going too far from the Lodge as the area is not safe. Overall, while there were some enjoyable aspects, the lack of preparation for power outages and noise disturbances significantly impacted our stay.

The property is situated very close to most amenities - within a walking distance. It is very serene and welcoming, with an amazing, very friendly staff. I had an opportunity to be checked in, welcomed and checked out by Elisa. The lady is just too sweet, very welcoming. The only challenge was the loadshedding that happened a few hours after we checked in. When we left the next day after 9am and power was not yet restored. So maybe the property can have a small generator for lights during such unfortunate incidents that are beyond their control. This can help avoid complete darkness. Otherwise the property is great. Thanks for being such great hosts.
