"Very good facilities; our room was excellent with everything we could have wished for and a beautiful view of the Karoo mountains. Breakfast in the morning was superb! The grounds were lovely with a nice pool area and deck restaurant with antelope wandering around below. Only complaint is that the air-con and ceiling fan in our room were both so loud it was difficult to sleep. Overall a fantastic stay with great staff. Highly recommend."

"What a delightful place"

(Australia) Julian Slade

"All the buildings, including accommodation, were in beautiful Cape Dutch style buildings. Adding to the beauty, was its location in a mountain pass and with a stream running through. Fantastic food in the restaurant. Rooms clean, modern and comfortable. Farm animals added to the charm."

The rooms were so comfortable and clean and the food was excellent. Our host, Riaan, went out of his way to meet our every need and requests. Our whole group (11 of us) had a very relaxed stay and we all want to come back. Our American family were so impresses by everything. Thanks to all concerned. Hope to see you all soon. "

"My family and I had a lovely stay at the Tame Game Lodge. It was in a lovely setting and the rooms were perfect just what we were looking for. Two ensuite bedrooms with connecting lounge kitchen. Breakfast was great. We ate at the restaurant which was good. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only disappointment was that we didn't see any game at all, it may have been the weather because there was a huge storm the night we arrived. I was hoping to see some animals up close as it shows in the advertising photos. We did have a great stay and I would return."


"value for money and enthusiatic hosts"

(South Africa) Mr parker

"Old Mill - charming hosts, well-kept grounds and fantastic food both at breakfast and at the restaurant on site. We could have stayed another night as the surrounding area has so much to offer. Would recommend to friends.
5 star service and food!"

"We highly recommend 'The Old Mill'. En-route to 'The Old Mill', we realised we were a day early for our stay - the receptionist was extremely friendly and "no problem we have a room for you." The food was delicious! The scenery is stunning. Everyone working there was very friendly and one gent in particular was full of good advice for tourists - we ended up staying for 2 full days [3 nights], and managed to see and do a lot and loved it all. It was one of the highlights of our trip to South Africa. "
