Overall Ratings & Reviews Old Mill Lodge, Working Ostrich Farm & Restaurant, Oudtshoorn

The location and grounds were stunning and incredibly well kept. 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.

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

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!

Nice area.

Old Mill Lodge was perfect for our purpose, serene, relaxing in a beautiful setting perfectly maintained by passionate and friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and ambience of the venue. Felt very and slept like baby every, which I seldom do.

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.

An island of peacefulness...

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.

We loved our room overlooking the dam. The decor was modern and the room attractive and clean. The restaurant was also excellent and the site convenient to all the attractions we wished to visit including Cango caves. We would definitely choose to stay there again

Lovely stay in friendly traditional hotel

We had an amazing stay at Old Mill! Very clean, well looked after, great for stay with kids. Bunnies, trampolines, playground for kids to keep them busy .. Great location for ostrich farm visit and caves.

Beautiful location, perfectly placed for exploring the caves and town, including the cango ranch and ostrich farms.

If you are looking to relax with the kids, this is the place. Plenty to keep young children busy and safe, they especially enjoyed the bunnies and zip line. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed.

Fantastic service all-round. Dinner was magnificent and service from Coke and Ruben was outstanding. Breakfast was delicious (even with load-shedding). Our chalet was very comfortable and the bed was outstanding. Will definitely be back.

It was amazing. The management and staff are very friendly and helpful. Very clean units and comfortable. Great breakfast. Awesome entertainment for the children, including animals on the premises. Highly recommended. We will definitely visit this place soon.

The rural and adventure experience was unexpected for me.

We stayed in the tented accommodation, very comfortable and modern. The food was out of this world and the staff are so friendly. Definitely will go back again. Also great location to the Cango Caves.

This is a great value place to stay. 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.

Superb location. Very nice surrounding.Very friendly staff. Felt very relaxed.

We (3 adults) spent two nights at this beautiful location. Ideal for visiting the caves and learning about ostrich farming (don't miss the museum at Oudtshoorn). We were very happy with the accommodation and our only problem was with the unexpected rain.
