There was a power outage that occurred the first night of our stay and then again the morning of our departure day, which affected the trailer we were in and the one above but we made the most of it. The kids' entertainment was a bit of a letdown as they ran out of marshmallows to toast over the fire at the beach, and the movie night was not as planned, kids ended up watching programs on YouTube in the playroom instead. Could do better...

The beautiful hot showers and friendly staff. The food was absolutely lovely. The trailer was neat and clean. The views were spectacular. Waking up to the sounds of birds chirping was a bonus, nature at its best. Would definitely go back...

The lounge area is very basic. So mot very homely. But I thought I was going into just a caravan , so the extra Soave is a welcome addition. The restaurant area and lounge area are great. Lovely pool area (if you go in summer) food was excellent. Staff were excellent

It’s very unique. The themed caravans are fun. You have all the comforts and space. Very clean with lovely bedding .

There was a group who was little noisy on the first night but was not a major problem.

It was cold and wet but the fire places were always on and we really enjoyed the food and hospitality. Had some really nice chats with the manager who was really kind and helpful. All the staff were great.

I was a little disappointed in that I arranged and confirmed twice for some sort of a surprise for my husband's 40th birthday. I had imagined something like a balloon or cupcake or something at the accommodation when we got to the suite, but there was nothing.

The layout reminds me of dirty dancing! Something for everyone,. The food was spectacular, the staff extremely friendly and willing to go out of their way for you. The ambience is magical, we will definitely be back.

Welcoming and friendly staff with excellent service and food.

We weren't given a number we can call or whatsapp for any issues. As we were staying on the far end, this would have been really helpful. For example, we were given fire lighters (nice), but no matches. We then had to drive up to the top to get this sorted, which is inconvenient. We had some maintenance issues in our unit, but nothing major. Again, could have been sorted pretty easily if we had a whatsapp number or similar.

Love the communal social design of the place. There are several places where people can gather and enjoy the facilities, including the main restaurant area and the 'beach' area on the small lake. The restaurant area is loaded with all kinds of seating place, both formal and informal, and a beautiful pool with enough loungers. It is really set out nicely for social vibes. The beach area has kayaks, floater tubes and a bar...really well though out. Staff are super friendly, and the food and alcohol options are good. Wood fires hot tubs at the tiny home we stayed in was AMAZING. Bonus is the wood supply for this at no additional cost.

Surpassed all expectations and can’t believe how cheap it is for what this place is. Magical.

No issues

The new Klien Paradys tiny homes were exceptionally well appointed. All facilities were superb

The Daddy Villa we stayed in needs a bit of maintenance and a new main bedroom mattress

In a really beautiful setting on a very well kept farm

What an unexpectedly delightful experience! From assistance with our bags on arrival ( grateful, because - stairs!) to an unexpected private outside hot tub! you need never leave the venue - the restaurant serves divine food, the staff are wonderful and for the energetically inclined, there's plenty to do. Cant wait to return!

This place is magic! It was a great treat staying here.

The filter coffee beans were absolutely terrible very disappointing for such a luxury stay.

The setting was beautiful so tranquil and private.

Our tiny house, Kaapse Nooi, was the only unit that didn't have a screen for privacy from surrounding units. Especially around the hot tub being in direct view of the communal hall to its right.

Stunning location with incredibly helpful staff. Our tiny house in the new Klein Paradys was beautifully decorated with an amazing hot tub feature. Overall, we loved our stay!

Would have loved the hot tub to be ready when we checked in. Took too long having to DIY.

Loved the tranquility and peaceful surroundings.

Nothing to comment on, all was truly great.

Enjoyed the natural surroundings and beautiful vistas from the Airstreams positioning. The staff surprised us with a very special treat at dinner in celebration of our wedding anniversary, was truly special surprise well appreciated.

Not so impressed with the restaurant food, few options and expensive - compared to Houw Hoek hotel

Very good breakfast, beautiful location.

It would be great if the airstreams had shower facilities instead of a tub as the shower connection to the tub doesn’t work well and very low pressure.

The place was tranquil and allows you to reconnect with nature. I love the idea of the social box at the restaurant which really allows you to focus and be present. There is so much to do in and around the property. The staff are amazing and friendly. Really a peaceful and fun experience.

Sadly, there was a lack of milk alternatives and gluten free options for those who are lactose or gluten intolerant. Other than that, I have no complaints about Old Mac Daddy.

I have often driven past the turnoff and wondered what it was like to stay here. Now I know (thanks to my wife :) ), we will definitely make this a return destination. We stayed one of the Tiny houses, and it was absolutely brilliant. Well designed, well appointed and comfortable. The addition of the wood-burning hot tub is an absolute bonus. The restaurant, while not the cheapest is still really good value for money as the food was top notch, and would, in my opinion, be easily placed in 4 or 5 star restaurants. The included breakfast would easily cater for most people. The staff are friendly and helpful, and at no point did I feel that they weren't willing to go the "extra mile" to make your staff enjoyable

The mozzies on night 1. The unusally humid weather brought them out in droves and we suffered. We went in better prepared on night 2.

We loved how engaged all the staff and management were, in particular Denver. All the activities for the kids and the fact that they did extras like free ice lollies, popcorn, roasting marshmallows, pizza making etc. These did not go unnoticed. We were at Daddy's Hideaway and they warn you on the website that you need a 4x4 or SUV to get there and they are not joking - thanks for the heads up:-). There is one turn in particular to keep an eye out for.
