It was a wonderful experience staying in the tented camp. The mattress and bedding was of good quality. I loved the bath and outdoor shower. everything was neat and clean, like staying in an B&B except it was a tent. Great sitting on the deck early morning watching the springboks coming right up to the deck.
South AfricaWe loved our stay at Old Mill. The bath in the tented accommodation was a highlight!
South AfricaThe nature breaking away into the peace quiet the animals surrounding the cabins. The staff soo friendly and open to help.
South AfricaMostly everything. Bunnies, horses, natural view points and supporting staff. Kids enjoyed a lot. We will visit again.
South AfricaThe Luxury tent was private, luxury and comfortable in nature
South AfricaBreakfast was very good, except it was cold by the time we came to breakfast. The tables were very tastefully laid with beautiful table cloths and napkins and not the dreaded paper napkins. Coffee and tea was still piping hot and good. Selection varied for the 2 days and certainly worth the price paid.
South AfricaNice place. Well situated at Oudtshoorn and the Cango caves. The tents are idyllic and equipped with all luxury ("Glamping"). Restaurant was fine, our favorite waitress Maria was very sweet to us.
NetherlandsThe location on the road to Cango Caves was good for us as we did not want to stay in the centre of Oudtshoorn. A well-appointed chalet overlooking water. Quiet and private - all the facilities clean and comfortable. A well thought-out development. Breakfast was extra, but plentiful with something for everyone. The restaurant had a good choice of food and drink and was easily walked too.
United KingdomRelaxing on the stoep, reading our books and watching the ostriches come to the river to drink.
South AfricaApart from the aircon oversight the experience at the Lodge was excellent. The location to the tourist sites is very convenient.

We are situated between the lovely Swartbergmountain range. Truly only a few places in this beautiful region. We are a Working Ostrich Farm and have popular large gardens, with activities for young and old:Bass fishing, Mini Zipline, Bunny & Pony Park as well as hiking trails. We offer more than the normal B&B. We have 2 restaurants. One only serve breakfast, and our a la carte restaurant lunch and dinner. Restaurant with view of river & mountains, truly no restaurant in Oudtshoorn with this spectacular setting. We serve venison of many kinds and most popular a range of Ostrich dishes.
All of our staff walk the extra mile to make each and every guest feel welcome.
We are on the perfect spot. Halfway between Oudtshoorn and the world famous Cango Caves, with Cango Ostrich Show Farm basically next to us! We are in the centre of most activities & attractions.
