Great place to stay
We loved our room overlooking the dam. The decor was modern and the room attractive and clean. The restaurant was also excellent and the site convenient to all the attractions we wished to visit including Cango caves. We would definitely choose to stay there again
WM, 2-night trip

Surprise gem
The location and grounds were stunning and incredibly well kept. The children had lots of green space to play and explore and be up close with the animals. Our deck was expansive which made for lovely evenings watching the sun go down behind the hills and the sky change colour. The beds were incredibly comfortable which was a pleasant surprise as we have bad backs and often struggle to sleep while travelling. While the decor was an older fashioned style, everything was in pristine condition and the cleaning staff were lovely.

Working.Ostrich Farm glamping
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at old Mill. We were in one of the tents which have air conditioning, which was nice since it was a little warm and it was on the river driving by the other places I think we made the right choice. Dinner was fantastic My only complaint is they say it’s working ostrich farm so I was really looking forward to seeing and interacting with ostriches. They had four that you could feed mind you. They bite a little lol and 20 or so as you leave. Besides that great place
Shaun, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The location is very nice and clean. The breakfast is not really worth taking it. Youth hostel quality. Far away from 4 stars hotel. For the second day we decided to go to Buffelsdrift nearby and pay for it, even when it was already in our package.
wolfgang, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Beautiful location with lots of wildlife to see, and good food in the main restaurant. Expedia listing is inaccurate however, as many amenities listed were not available. Missing amenities: Game Room, Kids Club, Coffee Shop, Arcade, Lazy River, Mountain Biking, Supervized Children's Activities, Soundproofed Rooms, and the Zipline was broken. Additionally, spelunking and rock climbing are available in the area, but not at the property.
Andi, 3-night trip

Wonderful staff and grounds. Need new beds.
Loved the convenience of pulling our car right to our room. The staff and the grounds are wonderful. The bed was probably the worst ever. We put anything we could underneath us for some padding. It was like cardboard. The restaurant is lovely. Our room was a luxury waterfront room. It was perfectly adequate I’d call it rustic, not luxury.

Fantastic service all-round. Dinner was magnificent and service from Coke and Ruben was outstanding. Breakfast was delicious (even with load-shedding). Our chalet was very comfortable and the bed was outstanding. Will definitely be back.
