The location and venue were lovely. The restaurant was quaint and the staff were friendly. The breakfast was ok. The room was clean, and well stocked (except for lacking a wine bottle opener). The views were lovely and hearing the sounds of the animals nearby was very relaxing.
The breakfast lacked a little love and imagination. For 4 days, nothing changed. Everything was fine, but with just a little imagination, it could have been so much better. Instead of just fried eggs, why not offer scrambled, or boiled? The same ingredients that make the flapjacks served every day, could be used to make pancakes, muffins and more. Offering some sort of vegetable would have been great: Mushrooms can't be overcooked, and leftovers can be used by the restaurant in any number of ways - same for fried tomatoes. The breakfast was fine. But with just a bit of thought it could be outstanding.

We liked everything and did not wish to leave, the food was exceptional, the breakfast had lots of selection but the real treat was dinner which was exceptional, beautifully cooked and presented and such a lovely relaxed restaurant environment which is just what you need at the end of a busy day as tourists. We stayed in one of their tents, it was just amazing, so comfortable and in nature, the staff were kind and friendly. There is a wide choice of types of accommodation, we would 100% return to Old Mill Lodge. Many thanks and kindest regards to them all.
Absolutely nothing.

Really lovely and comfortable. Perfect for families with kids. Everything you need is on the premises. It gives off the grid energy. Pool was clean. Very quiet. Breakfast was great. Location is really nice and convenient- close to the out of Oudtshoorn attractions but still close enough to town.
Wifi could be slightly improved. No pool towels available at the pool - if they were, it was not communicated and no one feels like calling reception to check on this when you're already at the pool (no signal to do that anyway)

This place is amazing.! Very good especially if you have kids.! They have Ponies, Rabbits, small Ostriches on the farm and you can feed them. My daughter enjoyed a lot.! The room was spacious and bed was quite big and comfortable. Also, breakfast was amazing with some decent options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians.! Their home made bread is a must try.!
Nothing. This place is amazing with some amazing views and in middle of the mountains. The Wifi signal sometimes gets lost but if you are in such an amazing place, who cares about Wifi. Just enjoy the place.!

The location and accommodation were very nice, comfortable, and clean. The supper was Ostrich steak and stuffed chicken which are value for money. The staff are very professional and friendly. On your way to the accommodation, there are a lot of nice places that we also visit, but your place is awesome. I will recommend it if you want peace of mind.
I'm a Muslim I would suggest that you have a wider range of breakfasts like fish, chicken strips/nuggets/sausage, or even ostrich strips/sausage to accommodate us that is Halaal. Oudtshoorn is well known for its Ostriches and is also Halaal that you can serve as breakfast.

Very well maintained property with very nice units. The swimming pool was great and the restaurant exceptional. Breakfast was good with very nice patio with great views. Enjoyed our stay.
Our toilet did not work the first night. I would expect better. To their credit, they fixed it very quickly the next day. Also noticeable is the lack of emergency lights or flashlights. You cannot fault a place for the national loadshedding problems, but all the other places we stayed during our road trip (some a lot cheaper) had some emergency lights and candles. Would be good if you can consider it.

The location is amazing, the breakfast included is amazing! The facility itself is on of my favourite on earth at the moment. My only criticism is that the restaurant is extremely overpriced and the food is unsatisfactory. It is unfortunate for those who are not at the Self-catering units. Another criticism is that not every unit has its own braai facility for if you do not want to eat at the restaurant. The braai areas are communal and a walk away from where we were staying. Other than that, we have been here about 5 times now and plan to go back again and again.
The restaurant and other self catering options. The wifi is also extremely weak - I was not able to use it for work purposes.

The kids loved the dam and the boats, they were on it every day! They also enjoyed being able to fish off our balcony. Also loved the swimming pools in the heat. The place looks stunning with the gardens and the greenery. Also loved the ponies and the bunnies. Also nice and close to the Cango Cave and other amenities. One staff member- Frank went out of his way to help us and went the extra mile without any hesitation. 5 stars!!!
Breakfast buffet could have more variety, same food every day for the 4 days we were there. One or two staff members not that friendly.

Excellent value for money and good place to relax and avoid the Oudtshoorn heat. We survived there +40C comfortably Three small swimming pools and lot of trees provide needed relief. It is also quite beautiful and we would love to stay there for longer. Very convienient for Cango Caves Very good for kids - not only pools, but also small ostriches (it has a real working farm attached, so it is not a touch and play place, but the real stuff) and bunch of antilopes and roes One can even make own braii Brilliant breakfast buffet
Restaurant is not excellent but still good value for money They somehow give an impression of being very strict, probably had lot of problems with other guest

Nice view from our own terasse to some animals, clean and a great room with coffee tea and lovely decoration. We enjoyed every detail of this house. The whole place has little houses to stay. Three pools a lot of trees and Fliegers, animals and of Courage oostriches. Its About10km outside the village but its worth it . It offers you a calm and relaxing stay so you could stay there for the whole day and you wouldnt her bored. Bathroom with showergel etc, towels. The gardens wäre really Great . You can go by foot to other restaurants but its also really a calm and relaxing place to be 1-3 nights. Breakfast with a big choice of all you need. Staff friendly and the Restaurant Food with normal Prices. Er would come back :)
