"I only stayed one night but this place was excellent and I will definitely be back. Super warm and friendly welcome, and excellent communication in advance of arrival. Room was clean, comfortable, quiet, set in a beautiful property. The sherry in the room was a cherry on the top of all this! Thoroughly recommend for anyone looking to stay in the area or passing through."

"Lovely glamping; it was very cold during our stay, no heat in tent and only 1 of 4 electric blankets worked/could be plugged in. Does smell of cow from neighboring livestock farm - including in the water (both tap and provided filtered). Great views and positive family experience "

"Brilliant glamping safari style. Great view over the mountains from the tents and you can see many springbok amongst others coming to drink from the dam. The pool was a great way to cool off after a hot day. "

"We had a wonderful time staying at the Gumtree. The host was very sweet and helped us with great ideas of things to do and see while in the area. The breakfast was tasty with choices of hot and cold items, fresh made bread, and fresh fruit cups. The location was quiet, but within walking distance to good restaurants. "
"We merely just for one night.
Upon arrival, hotel did not have our booking information as Hotel.com did not inform hotel about our reservation. Very poorly from Hotel.com
Had to show my invoice for reception that Accomodation was paid directly to Hotel.com
We got the Queens Residence and it was quite spacious and big, both rooms with own en-suite.
Only problem and my biggest issue was the beds. Extremely hard and uncomfortable.
Not Queen or King bed. Only 2 single beds per room.
From all my hotel experience, this was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in, including my wife.
Most expensive hotel per night, with the most uncomfortable bed. And that’s important. "
"A wonderful family run establishment. Clean, cosy, everything catered for, pity we only stayed one night. Exceptional breakfast and a well stocked bar."
"A gem of a guesthouse. All the staff were so lovely, helpful, cheerful and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The room and bathroom were both spacious, spotless and felt luxurious. Breakfast was fantastic, delicious and generous. Thank you to everyone "
"We loved the place: peaceful, safe, a lot of nature, nice views, had some garden apples in the room: natural and tasty! We would like to bring there our parents to visit the place. Thank you!"

"Everything you need all the time. No problem communication. Happy to assist. Good laces to eat and drink in the village. Definite place to mark as a must stay."
"Such a lovely stay that exceeded our expectations. Comfiest bed of our holiday so far too!
Highly recommend the sundowner game drive and dinner, Elton is so knowledgeable abour everything! and he is a natural storyteller. The ostrich tour was fantastic too, Zenith was friendly and informative and you could tell loved the ostriches. Overall just a brilliant stay and all staff we met were helpful and friendly. Amazing views from the property too. Highly recommend staying here. "

10/10 Excellent
"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"
"Annalee was very accommodating when we arrived late and still gave us the full tour and description of her property. The area has lots to do with ostrich farms, Cango caves. Bufflesdrift Lodge is nearby is a great place for dinner. Bufflesdrift also has elephant tours and feedings etc!"
"What a wonderful amazing experience, from first communication getting to our destination to the last day. Serenity in all it's bliss, nature on your doorstep and the cottage has everything you need. Emaculate and so clean, this is a home away from home and we will visit again and again.
Thank you to our host Niel."
