I loved everything. Food and people were wonderful.
United States of AmericaLovely property with interesting little wildlife, and of course ostriches. Beautiful room. Great breakfast. We’ll stay longer if we are able to return.
United States of AmericaLoved our tent. Food in the restaurant was delicious. Great buffet breakfast.
United Arab EmiratesLoved the relaxed atmosphere. Plenty for younger children to do, the ostriches, goats ponies, playground, pool and of course the very popular rabbits. The restaurant was excellent, the best food we've had on our 2 week tour. The breakfast was very good offering a lot of options.
United KingdomBeautiful place with lots of activities to keep the kids busy. We all had a wonderful time.
South AfricaOK BREAKFAST GEORGE IS VERY PRO AND DOED A GOOD JOB AT RECEPTION
South AfricaAmazing value, we stayed in a luxury tent and found it comfy but also serene and in a beautiful spot. So many different animals on the property and it's a great place to explore. Hot showers, comfy beds, and being on the ostrich farm was a lot of fun. Seeing the little ostriches were our favorite. Only about 15 minutes from town as well and close to Cango Caves. Breakfast/restaurant were good but not our top choice in South Africa.
United States of AmericaSuch a beautiful place surrounded by mountains and the most beautiful river ruining through the estate! Just Beautiful!!
South AfricaThe welcome we got was lovely the staff is very friendly nd welcoming
South AfricaWe enjoyed coming here every December for the farm experience, nature and family time. They now have 3 pools and the tented accommodation is cool (with aircon) with a bushveld feel. The play area at Old mill is a hit (but the food and drinks were overpriced in general and also compared to food and beverages in the area, glasses and utensils were not clean on both occasions so we rather went to Buffelsdrift) They also increased their accommodation rates so we are in the market for a new family holiday tradition.
