    A very well laid out property, lots of space to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere. The restaurant was excellent and very family friendly. The rooms were very spacious and well equipped with a lovely balcony. Very near lots of activities to do during the day or if you prefer, relax by one of the three pools!

    Due to power outages, the farm didnt provide any torches, so we ended up using phones instead,which then drained the batteries... I would suggest the management to get some torches for the rooms, it would make guests stay a bit less stressful.

    We had one of the largest apartments/ units which was clean,nicely decorated.Loved seeing ostriches on the farm,it is definitely a good place for a young families to stay!The breakfast was excellent too!

    Stayed 2 nights in a beautiful 'glamping' luxury tent at this resort. My view was a bunch of young ostriches all the time drinking water from the stream and relaxing. Really great! I also really enjoyed the dinners and breakfast.

    This was our second visit at Old Mill Lodge. Beautiful farm. Lovely staff. Delicious breakfast. You can really just relax and unwind. I made an honest mistake with my booking but George very efficiently resolved the issue for us and we are so thankful for that. We love Old Mill and with definitely visit again.

    The kayaks were not well maintained. The TV had limited channels. Streaming services like Netflix and YouTube would do well. No generator or UPS to power wifi. (Lights remained on)

    The scenery The actual accommodation was very clean and well situated Close to most activities The petting zoo component was quite unique Plenty to do for young kids.
