Lovely overnight stay on the way back to CT. Could have stayed longer!

Lovely grounds to walk around. The farm animals were very cute and kept the little ones busy. Nice picnic spots all around. The swimming pool was great to cool off in. Loved the outside shower.

Restaurant take-away prices were quite steep.

Lieu parfait pour une 1 ou 2 nuit dans la région des autruches

Lieu très sympa avec des animaux, une rivière, très calme Logement grand pour 4 personnes Bon petit déjeuner Repas bon le soir

Si possible mettre le petit déjeuner avant 8h (un peu tard avec le soleil qui se lève vers 5h) Piscine hélas froide en octobre

It was acceptable, I had expected more

The restaurant was pleasant, food good, waitress friendly. The property was green, lush, child friendly

Starting with the booking,we phoned twice, left messages no return calls received!!!!!! We arrived 25Min. early: we were told you are too early, instead of greeting us politely and advising: the room is not ready yet, please sit down a while, we'll let you. We did not have to wait long but the attitude of George was unacceptable and arrogant. The lay-out of the room was odd: washbasin in the room, toilet and shower in a separate room. Not one comfortable chair to sit in the room: bar chairs or outside hard garden chairs or on the bed

Overnachten in luxueuze tenten op een struisvogelfarm.

We verbleven 2 nachten in een tent. Het waren mooie luxueuze tenten met alle voorzieningen die je maar kan wensen. Heel proper met een buitendouche (zalig). Het bed was heel comfortabel. Het ontbijt zeer uitgebreid met alles erop en eraan. Het personeel was heel vriendelijk. In het restaurant hebben we heerlijk gedineerd.

The rooms were immaculately clean. They were well sized and the bathrooms were clean and modern. We really enjoyed the views from the well sized patio onto the gardens.

Amazing location and facilities

For those needing assured cellphone reception - this would be a challenge. But this due to the location in the valley. There is WiFi on site.

We felt very unwelcome even before arrival and will not return again.

The location was nice.

Unaccommodating & rude management. Poor communication with messages intentionally ignored prior to arrival which cost us an additional 2-hours of travel to accommodate our pets somewhere else. Expensive Restaurant with prices aimed at tourists, Tent was not properly cleaned with spiders and webs everywhere. The pictures on the listing on Booking.com is not accurate for each unit and contains pictures of multiple units which causes confusion on what unit you are actually booking. Breakfast buffet was okay, but it was weird to find that someone is put in place to guard the bacon/sausage section, so that you don't get more that 1-piece at a time. Just an overall poor, unwelcoming experience which we will not repeat.

Short and sweet but we enjoyed it a lot

There is a lot to do here so would recommend more than one night as there is a lot to do for children, very nice property and well presented

The children loved seeing all the animals and walking round the grounds, very picturesque place

Would stay again but maybe book a lake cabin and would never use the restaurant.

The location was great, very quiet apart from other guest leaving early in the morning by slamming doors. Perhaps add add noise control on the door frame

The restaurant. The meal was probably the worst meal we’ve had on our month around South Africa. Terrible!!! The ostrich fillet which wasn’t from this ostrich farm, was smashed to a pulp and served so thin it broke up like a thin burger.

Beautiful and peaceful but an overnight stay only

Location is beautiful and peaceful. Kids enjoyed the ostriches, pools and play area

Over priced, advertised as a holiday destination but really just an overnight stop. Restaurant is over priced for the quality. No fish in the dam, room was full of bugs and bedding was not clean. Rooms advertised bigger than whatbit is.

Family visit

Setting,, natural beauty, kids entertainment

Prices in convenience store and restaurant are high. Come prepared as you'll pay R100 for firelighters that costs R30 in a supermarket. Restaurant- starters mostly more than R100, kiddies meals around R85-R95, Steaks R220 +.... Much better value, more options and more creative food in town. To top it the pumpkin fritter was raw - I did point this out to the waiter.

An unforgettable stay at the Old Mill Lodge!

The property is nestled in the most beautiful and picturesque surroundings!!! Nature at its finest!! All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful!! The food was superb!! The grounds are beautifully maintained and there was loads for kids to keep busy with or explore. Definitely somewhere we would love to go back to!!

Everything else Restaurant, staff and working Farm was enjoyable knowing it is winter...

Plumbing: Toilet DID NOT flush as water leaks and no pressure, Basin is in the main room itself, (used for dishes and bathroom) Both the above made it uncomfortable, when needing your own room facility.

Lovely accommodation, for the most part very clean and modern.

Clean, comfortable and had everything we needed in the room. Loved the chocolate labrador who clearly lives on the premises and befriended us.

Very disappointed in the restaurant. Very expensive and food was not on par with what we expected. Lodge is far from Oudtshoorn central so we were left having to buy takeaways after exhausting days at my son's gala. Pools were pea soup green. Staff not very friendly or engaging so we did not know if this was the "norm" or if there was a problem, so gave them a skip altogether, much to the disappointment of our kids.

Quite an Experience!

First time in a "glamping " tent by the river. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank goodness for the aircons in the tent. Sat on our balcony and watched the ostriches doing their "ballet". Funny creatures to watch! They have REINDEER here, which apparently thrive up in the hills, and come down to feed.

Restaurant quite expensive, and not a great deal of options. Quite far out of town to find other places to eat.
