Old Mill Lodge, Working Ostrich Farm & Restaurant

Great location, right at the bottom of a mountain with a river flowing through the property. There's a relaxed feel in the environment. The room was okay, neat and well kept with housekeeping services even though it's self-catering. Looks like a child friendly place as there's a play area. Love that there's a restaurant on-site too, so if you are not into cooking you can just get food from the restaurant.

We have stayed here 4 times and every time it's a win. Basic room but everything you need. Kids absolutely love the animals especially the ponies! We loved lounging at the pool. Restaurant so convenient, no need to cook. Thank you Old Mill!

Good family option for accomodation with a nice full breakfast (though with added on price); rooms are decent value for money, though not the cleanest. Area is beautiful and nice to walk around (couldn't find advertised 'hiking trails ') Note: Lower rating for restaurant that was way overpriced for what they offer

What a wonderful place. Tents as room and so glam. I wonder if the term glamping originated here. Absolutely beautiful venue - helpful staff. Lots of wildlife. Lots to do but just a cool place to chill too. If I could add one point. WiFi can be better. You have nearly the right equipment , it just needs to be configured properly. A single SSID for guests across the venue would make it easier. a WiFi expert could help streamline/optimise it and I guess even as staff your lives would become a bit easier.

What an incredible place! Old Mill Nature Lodge in Oudtshoorn is truly a hidden gem. Surrounded by stunning cliffs and breathtaking scenery, it feels like you’re completely immersed in nature. The abundance of animals adds such a magical touch, making every moment feel unique and special. It's so peaceful and quiet – the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether you're looking for relaxation or a nature-filled adventure, this lodge delivers it all. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Oudtshoorn!

A good choice of accommodation, beer ice cold, featuring wines from three local vineyards plus local fresh produce used in the restaurant. To really appreciate the immediate local area, a three night stopover is the only way to go!!!!

This place is situated in a beautiful garden. Really picturesque, and would be an ideal stay for families. The oestrichs were really cute. There were alot of families. If however you are a couple I would find different options in town. The beds in B wing were bad, and we both had a sore back when we woke up. The a/c was a bit weird. The breakfast does have many options, but felt more like a cantina. No service. Bread was stale, and it just felt meh. I found a piece of metal in the minced meat! The restaurant was overpriced, for what it was. They tried to make it somewhat fancy, but it didn't taste that good. Not balanced tastes. Tried alot better prepared oestrich. Go to town and eat at fancier restaurant for less.

We stayed in one of the glamping tents on the river and loved it! Surprisingly luxurious bathroom and even had aircon. The bird life around the deck is so peaceful to watch and I love just walking around the grounds and interacting with all the animals. I would recommend keeping some time aside to immerse yourself in the nature around you. Felt very safe at all times and staff and manager at front desk very helpful.
