39 guests' feedbackMy stay was absolutely awesome.
Lovely accommodation, hospitality, delicious meals, peaceful surroundings.
We enjoyed the weekend away so much. Our 2-year-old daughter enjoyed herself with the 2 dogs, she also enjoyed the cattle very much of course. The meal was very tasty and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff exceptional. We will definitely come again!
There were two very cute dogs that kept coming to lie down with us. It was a wonderful experience.
This is more like a family farm stay lodge. Close proximity to Addo. Most direct route from PE is a 35 km, very bumpy tar road. Lots of outdoor activities for children. Our unit was self-catering and was very nice. The lodge is on a working farm inside an electric fence. Heavy burglar proofing further suggested that it's not the best of areas. Everything was very neat but I suppose it lacked the holiday magic. Our shower floor was oily and the drain blocked. Also, the cold water at the basin was not working. The frying pan in the kitchen literally looked like a car drove over it. Fortunately, we've learned to take some of our own utensils even when visiting Self-Catering. One would expect an expensive place like this to give a bit more attention to these details. All in all not bad though. Pleasant stay. Friendly staff.
The staff was very friendly.
We had a great time, barbecued and after a day of 42 degrees in the Elephant Park, we cooled down in the pool. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It was a nice weekend on the farm, with a very luxurious atmosphere. I would recommend it anytime.
The area is well located where there is no disturbance and one can just relax and enjoy the time.
Kids loved the pool and playground the cottage was very comfortable.
The pool and park kept the children busy for hours.
We slept over after a visit to Addo. It was very hot and our air conditioning in both rooms was not working.
Breathtaking stay.
The Old Drift is very clean and with the friendly staff it makes one's stay very pleasant.
De De Old Drift B&B was pleasant and clean. Staff were very helpful. However found meals to be very expensive.
Despite the Covid frustration, there was a very friendly atmosphere.
I will definitely recommend it to friends and family.
Idyllic and special! Can't wait to return.
Staff helpful, real farm atmosphere, comfortable stay. All drawback: We had dinner one night in the restaurant and it was not at all standard for the price.
Ideal accommodation near the Addo Elephant Park with everything you need. The people who work there are wonderful and you feel very welcome. Only downside is the unit was incredibly cold. Got no sun and our child got sick so didn't want to use the air conditioning for heat. I would suggest wall heaters.
We slept well and had a good time!
Lovely grounds with beautiful gardens. Safe, clean and tidy. Nice playground for children. Good food on site.
Lovely stay at De Old Drift. Self-catering unit with outdoor braai is perfect for the area. Very tranquil and relaxing.
It was our 25th wedding anniversary and what a lovely way to celebrate it on this beautiful farm. Service, food and interior decoration were a feast for the eyes. Thank you very much for your hospitality!
We initially booked for two nights and then stayed an extra night. Very friendly and helpful reception. The Garden Cottage we stayed in is very, very modern, as well as extremely clean and tidy. The gardens are well maintained and very beautiful. Ideal and very peaceful accommodation on a working citrus farm very close to Addo Olifant Park as well as other places and things to see and do. Would highly recommend to others and stay here again myself when I'm in the area again. There is a restaurant on site, but we preferred to have a barbecue every night.
It was a very nice experience. Great, friendly service and staff.
Erg vriendelijke mensen, alles netjes verzorgd en schoon. Prijs kwalietijd verhouding is prima.
Enjoyed our stay very much.
So peaceful and very nice stay.
Lovely facilities, beautiful rooms, cutest welcome by Phumba and Timone (puppies) and the best breakfast in a long time (banana bread used for French Toast - njammies). Can recommend De Old Drift B&B to anyone who wants to visit the Addo Elephant Park.
Juanita makes you feel right at home on the farm! Everything was nice and clean and tidy.
Extremely hospitable reception with affordable and very neat sleeping facilities. Professional chef prepares tasty meals.
Really a very nice stay, excellent accommodation. Owner very accommodating in all respects.
Very nice and well located. Rape too expensive for value.
Stayed in beautiful surroundings, but there were bats in the room that flew around at night and made sleep impossible.
More quiet and better personal service than you can expect from the accommodation in the Addo Park, and the food is excellent.
18 km from the main entrance of Addo Elephant Park. Accommodation does not include lunch and dinner, but there are a few restaurants in the area that can be recommended.
The cottages are perfect! Cosy, genuine Karoo and tastefully furnished. We will definitely be back again!
It's a great location. Very nice owners. Very clean. Beautiful garden on the farm. Super swimming pool with lot of facilities.
The Old Drift Guest Farm is ideal for overnight stays. The people were very pleasant.
