We stayed in a two bedroom modular home which was extremely quiet and nestled along the river. We did not have dinner there but did have breakfast. It was very good with a lot of options both cold and hot. ##### Teresa Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria 5 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great family location. Lovely place with relaxed vibe. Very friendly staff. Kids loved the animals and open spaces. Close to Cango caves and multiple activities within 10km. Great place for family! ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing quiet place...

The children had lots of green space to play and explore and be up close with the animals. Our deck was expansive which made for lovely evenings watching the sun go down behind the hills and the sky change colour. The beds were incredibly comfortable which was a pleasant surprise as we have bad backs and often struggle to sleep while travelling. While the decor was an older fashioned style, everything was in pristine condition and the cleaning staff were lovely. ##### Louise Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andi 29 Nov 2023 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Beautiful location with lots of wildlife to see, and good food in the main restaurant. Expedia listing is inaccurate however, as many amenities listed were not available. Missing amenities: Game Room, Kids Club, Coffee Shop, Arcade, Lazy River, Mountain Biking, Supervized Children's Activities, Soundproofed Rooms, and the Zipline was broken. Additionally, spelunking and rock climbing are available in the area, but not at the property. ##### Andi Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shaun 9 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Working.Ostrich Farm glamping We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at old Mill. We were in one of the tents which have air conditioning, which was nice since it was a little warm and it was on the river driving by the other places I think we made the right choice. Dinner was fantastic My only complaint is they say it’s working ostrich farm so I was really looking forward to seeing and interacting with ostriches. They had four that you could feed mind you. They bite a little lol and 20 or so as you leave. Besides that great place ##### Shaun Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 30 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect venue to unwind Old Mill Lodge was perfect for our purpose, serene, relaxing in a beautiful setting perfectly maintained by passionate and friendly staff.

We would definitely choose to stay there again ##### WM Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### wolfgang 9 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The location is very nice and clean. The breakfast is not really worth taking it. Youth hostel quality. Far away from 4 stars hotel. For the second day we decided to go to Buffelsdrift nearby and pay for it, even when it was already in our package. ##### wolfgang Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stephanie 20 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful staff and grounds. Need new beds. Loved the convenience of pulling our car right to our room. The staff and the grounds are wonderful. The bed was probably the worst ever. We put anything we could underneath us for some padding. It was like cardboard. The restaurant is lovely. Our room was a luxury waterfront room. It was perfectly adequate I’d call it rustic, not luxury. ##### Stephanie Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amitha 22 Nov 2025 Very basic room, bathroom very dated and cluttered. Person that Checked us in was flustered and not welcoming at all. Buffet breakfast was very limited and not value for money. Room was booked for 2 people only, but was filled with a sleeper couch and another dated couch. ##### Amitha Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karsten 23 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wie hatten ein super "Zelt" mit super Bad/WC.

However, they should get a decent wifi (the reception was awful and I don’t they should claim to be able offer it). The beds were not the best either. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jerome 9 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bruiners Family vacation in Oudshoorn It was amazing.

It is slightly out of Oudtshoorn but on the way to Cango Caves and Swartberg Pass. Our room was very nice being a cabin overlooking the small dam. Breakfast was great with several traditional SA foods available, which made it more interesting. ##### Colin Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ocean View House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Ocean-View-House.h3091584.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria and Alfred Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Victoria-Alfred-Hotel.h46797.Hotel-Information) > > [The Portswood Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Portswood-VA-Waterfront.h526896.Hotel-Information) > > [The Alphen Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Alphen-Boutique-Hotel.h46794.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rockefeller Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Rockefeller-Hotel.h71673357.Hotel-Information) > > [Krystal Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Krystal-Beach-Hotel.h15651822.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Sun The Cullinan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Southern-Sun-The-Cullinan.h118030.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Taj-Cape-Town.h3016361.Hotel-Information) > > [Buffelsdrift Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oudtshoorn-Hotels-Buffelsdrift-Game-Lodge.h3024138.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old Foundry Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Old-Foundry-Hotel.h57820595.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-President-Hotel.h526107.Hotel-Information) > > [ONOMO Hotel Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Signature-Lux-Hotel-By-ONOMO.h27811489.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clarendon - Fresnaye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Clarendon-Fresnaye.h3004641.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagoon Beach Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Lagoon-Beach-Hotel-Spa.h1320739.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Westin-Cape-Town.h916261.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House at the Queen Victoria Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Manor-House-At-The-Queen-Victoria-Hotel.h19310581.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Waterfront.h545852.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sky Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Hotel-Sky-Cape-Town.h63494685.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Bay-Hotel.h18132.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commodore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Commodore-Hotel.h83744.Hotel-Information) > > [Vineyard Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Vineyard-Hotel.h523689.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Hotel Lions Eye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Houghton-View-Guest-House.h10633636.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain Marina Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mountain-Marina-Luxury-Apartments.h24940058.Hotel-Information) > > [Pepperclub Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Pepperclub-Hotel.h3534309.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Cape Town City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Pullman-Cape-Town-City-Centre.h17925242.Hotel-Information) > > [The Onyx Apartment Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Onyx-Apartment-Hotel.h28825118.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel-VA-Waterfront-Cape-Town.h18644202.Hotel-Information) > > [City Lodge Hotel Victoria And Alfred Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-City-Lodge-Hotel-Victoria-And-Alfred-Waterfront.h485189.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Waterfront.h29305328.Hotel-Information) ---
