Spent 2 nights at the Old Mill Nature Lodge - what a pleasant surprize! Very friendly staff and very neat room. The breakfast as well as evening meal was great! Most enjoyable break-away. Close to Cango Caves and other day trips.Thank-you Renier and team!

Have marked this 5 star, whilst it is not your luxury 5 star, the service received was excellent. Call out to George on reception and the ladies in the breakfast room. Accommodation was clean, surrounding tranquil and a nice touch having insect repellent in the room. Perfect stay for recharging batteries.

Old Mill Lodge is a beautiful working farm but extremely well looked after and very serene. The animals on the farm just make everything more special. The staff is friendly and proficient. Our room was neat and clean. We will definitely stay over again.

This farm is absolutely excellent. Architecture, garden and design is great. We enjoyed the time there very much. The staff is friendly and cooperative and does always its best to make the vacation happy. Also the food and restaurant offer great local food and quality, especially the ostrich filet was excellent, the service so nice and really perfekt. Only one thing wasn't so good (only from my opinion): It was the Breakfast in the morning -＞ typical English breakfast.

We had an awesome family trip and spent 2 nights at the Old Mill Lodge. A new experience Glamping. Was awesome having the river flow at our doorstep! Thank you for making a trip even more memorable than we expected.

We would highly recommend staying here if you’re driving through Oudtshoorn! The facilities are wonderful and there is so much to do there. The luxury tent on the river running through the place was a fun experience for us all and the kids loved seeing the baby ostriches and other animals.

Our stay was lovely and relaxing. Property fans need a clean, the bathroom needs towel rails and cleanliness of fridge and kitchen. backsplash should be checked. The gardens are beautiful and the pool was nice and clean.

Lovely quite spot yet close to Cango Caves and many over tourist highlights around Oudshoorn. Try take a hike up the very steep hill, you will soon find out it is a mountain not a hill. Very friendly ponies that can be petted and exciting play area for kids.
