356 guests' feedbackYes, very nice stay, very peaceful.
Had a wonderful stay. Beautiful place with clean rooms and friendly staff.
Awesome, relaxed, beautiful scenery, lovely room, friendly staff, very helpful staff, we were helped with what we needed. Safety.
We were pleasantly surprised with the beautiful and clean accommodation. From check-in to our departure, everything went smoothly. We would definitely recommend De Oude Meul Country Lodge for groups and even individuals or for families with children.
Very neat and beautiful environment and place. Unfortunately the boiler did not work. Reported it but got no response.
Stunning place, just needs dishwasher in unit.
Excellent, very neat and tidy, beautiful scenery.
Very good stay. New pillows would be an improvement.
Unbelievably beautiful place. Neat, clean, great service. Lots to see. Children could fish in the bass pond. Lots of ostriches. Will go back again anytime.
Had a wonderful stay. WiFi reception at reception and restaurant was not very good. Place was practical and everything we needed.
Very nice, thanks - appreciate everyone's contributions.
Very peaceful and children went fishing. The girls were everywhere to all the animals and nice big lawns to play on.
Perfect! Wish we could stay longer!
It was breathtaking. The location is excellent with beautiful nature.
It was such a pleasure. I so wish we could stay longer and enjoy all the amenities properly. A paradise for children!
Friendly welcome on our arrival and the staff explained everything in detail. Stunning views with captivating rolling gardens with minimal boundaries. 1 night was too short to appreciate the grounds and facilities. Thank you, staff!
Awesome place, will definitely stay there again. Will bring the kids next time.
Beautiful surroundings, clean and comfortable accommodation and very good service. Unfortunately couldn't explore the area and hiking trails due to lack of time, but will be back for that.
The setting is beautiful - although it was cold in June. Easy for Cango Caves and attractions around Oudtshoorn. The animals and kids' play area were really appreciated by a 6-year-old. The accommodation was quite basic but had everything we needed, space for a little person to play, and was clean. Fresh drinking water was provided each day. The restaurant is cosy and offered a reasonable selection of good home-cooked food. There was plenty of food for breakfast, but arrive early or it is all a bit tired. Helpful staff made fresh bacon!
Beautiful working farm setting, with ostriches, bucks, calves. Beautiful walking trails and friendly, well-trained staff.
It's always good at De Oude Meul. Received very good service from the staff.
We loved the place. The restaurant was fantastic, there was so much to see and experience, the location was absolutely beautiful.
Our second visit, this time unfortunately only one night. We were received very kindly and the staff immediately made us feel at home, nice to be checked in so professionally and hospitable.
I booked this establishment for my in-laws, they were so happy with a neat room and hospitality. They also couldn't stop talking about how delicious the restaurant's food was. Thank you very much for a nice experience.
De Oude Meul is a beautiful place in the most beautiful surroundings.
We had a very nice stay. And it is very beautiful and peaceful here with you.
We had a very nice stay. This is a beautiful resort! Staff are friendly and professional.
My stay was peaceful and relaxing. There are so many activities on the premises: hiking, canoeing, swimming, and being surrounded by so many different animal species. My cat (who is like my child) accompanied me and was very comfortable. I would recommend having heating equipment in all rooms. The location is stunning and very close to other tourist attractions, such as Karusa wines, the Cango caves, and the Wildlife Ranch.
De Oude Meul is on a working farm just outside Oudtshoorn in the beautiful mountains. You feel completely on your own on the farm. There are several types of rooms on De Oude Meul (and the Old Mill which is located separately on the same premises). There is a large breakfast hall and very nice restaurant with plenty of seating and a large deck area overlooking the river.
Value for money and location is perfect.
I have only one word, breathtaking.
With the last minute discount, it was definitely value for money.
De Oude Meul Country Lodge is a beautiful setting and the farm setting was very peaceful. Unit 5 we booked was very nice and comfortable. Every morning we sat on the porch and drank coffee despite the rain. The owner was very friendly and suggested places and things in the area. The restaurant had the most amazing atmosphere. It was cold and wet outside and there was a cozy fireplace in the restaurant.
Comfortable and well appointed.
Nice and cosy, great for a family stay. Had everything we needed.
See stars.
Very nice, well rested. Relax and admire nature. Admiring and appreciating God's nature. Blessings and prosperity going forward with your place. Thank you.
Wonderful accommodation, service and hospitality!
We had a wonderful stay! Our one night turned into 4 nights due to car troubles. The manager on duty, George, went above and beyond to help us and make us as comfortable as possible. Thank you!
Silver clean. It was a pleasure to spend the night there.
Neat and comfortable.
We were kindly received. Taken to our room but unfortunately we didn't know there were 2 doors to our room. Reception took us to the door with about 15 steps and told us to go in there. We had to carry all our things up the stairs (my mother is well into her 60's and stairs are difficult for her.) The other door had parking at the door. Would have been good if they had shown us that door. The room was clean. The food in the restaurant that evening was perfect! Definitely worth it.
The stay was absolutely worth the money. Hospitality was outstanding. High quality service.
Satisfied, thank you. Beds were laid out. Facility needs an upgrade.
Friendly reception and comfortable, just a bit far from the town.
Stay was nice. Too few amenities in rooms. Shower heads need to be replaced.
Room floor tiles cracked. There is no container to pour water into the kettle. There is no place to wash coffee cups.
We arrived dark and looked for someone in reception (5 min). We were shown the way to our unit, but could not find it immediately, much to our frustration. The soils are very dark; some lights were on.
For a 4-star hotel, we expected more. No DSTV, only OVHD. No cutlery or microwave. There was only 1 small emergency light for load shedding, which didn't work. The pictures show a room with nice white linen, but we got an old green duvet cover that looked like a backpacker's room.
It was far out of town. There wasn't even a microwave in the room. I like to have hot milk in my coffee. There is no sink to wash dishes. I don't want to use one glass all day. It was peaceful and the breakfast was delicious.
Towels did not smell fresh. Shower sometimes didn't work. Our chalet was not private - too close to the breakfast restaurant. Restaurant prices very expensive.
The breakfast was very expensive for what you get.
Kindly substitute the current shower heads with higher-quality ones. The water disperses in every direction except the intended one. These shower heads are truly the least expensive and not of good quality.
The last time we were here a few months ago it was excellent. Sadly this time is proving to be a completely different experience. I must have accidentally booked a room that is not self-catering, and reception would not even give us a plate to eat off of. On top of that, the room was not cleaned properly, the toilet is dirty, one of the 2 mugs was dirty, and there's no bag in the bin. It's sad because we really enjoy the animals on the property, but we won't be staying here again on our next trip to Oudtshoorn.
We ordered ostrich carpaccio pizza and a cappuccino at the restaurant and what a disappointment, neither. This affected our experience on de Oude Meul very adversely. Will not go there again.
After a long wait we had to ask to be served at the restaurant. TV didn't work. Reported it the next morning. When we returned to the room that evening, the TV was still out of order and the door was not locked. Coffee, tea and sugar were also not replenished on the second day.
Only stayed one night of a booked 3 nights. Room totally unacceptable.
We had a great time staying here on the way to the Congo caves. Safe and tidy with good customer service.
Was delicious. Gardens are beautiful and service is excellent.
Staff and restaurant were great and very friendly and helpful.
We had a nice stay.
We were pleasantly surprised with the hospitality and helpfulness of the staff. The beautiful view and scenery took our breath away.
It was a very relaxing and comfortable stay. I enjoyed the serenity.
We have already shared our satisfaction with the management. But I unfortunately noticed that I had packed my own little handbook, which I found out was actually that of the place. I am deeply sorry for this and would like to take this opportunity to apologize. It was indeed a place of residence with awards that we were informed in advance, and it was gratifying that these awards still exist.
Beautiful and peaceful surroundings deserve such a nice place to stay. Thank you very much for quality service!
The accommodation is clean, everything works, everyone is friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again.
Gorgeous destination with friendly people and fantastic food and views. I would definitely book there again!
Very nice, peaceful place.
Well equipped and very well received!
Absolutely an amazing experience.
Our reception was friendly and the rooms painfully neat. Will definitely recommend it.
Beautiful surroundings. Friendly service. Calm atmosphere.
Everything was neat, clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Access is easy. Would definitely recommend.
We went home in the A block, unit 2. Comfortable beds. Well equipped for overnight stay.
The accommodation was great, very nice and tidy. The staff were very friendly and hospitable. It was very nice and close to the Kango Caves.
Neat, clean accommodation and the land is beautiful. Service from reception staff was very friendly.
Exceeded all expectations.
Best service on arrival. Everything was nice and clean and lots of space. Very nice place and nice location.
See stars.
Rooms are really clean and tidy and the whole resort is very well maintained. Restaurant's food is delicious.
The service and hospitality was very good.
Was very well received, the service was great and immediately felt at home. Would go again anytime, really enjoyed the silence and could sit or lie on the veranda with aircon in the room for the warmth. Als was as we wanted, just a break from all business.
We stayed at De Oude Meul Country Lodge and Restaurant for a week and had the most amazing stay. The Lodge is set amongst the most beautiful mountains and has amazing views. The Lodge has green rolling lawns and absolutely stunning willow trees. There are a number of animals and you feel as though you are living in the countryside. The grounds are beautifully maintained and all of the amenities are clean and wonderfully looked after. The staff are friendly and the resident dogs are just the cherry on top! The pools are refreshing and pool loungers welcoming after a hot day of exploring Oudtshoorn. The restaurants are also valued for money and have yummy food and beautiful views.
Will definitely come again and bring my family with. The service was fantastic from the staff.
Accommodation had generators so we weren't affected by load shedding during the day.
Very neat and comfortable residential units. Very beautiful and peaceful environment.
We will definitely go again. Was a very pleasant atmosphere and terribly beautiful place.
The service at the resort is excellent, the units are presented with great care and very neat and clean. The gardens are beautiful and a lot of effort has been made to make them pleasant for the guests. We can confidently recommend De Oude Meul.
Restaurant cozy, food and service good. Thanks for such an affordable price for the winter months. This makes it possible for South Africans to still be able to travel. The generator with stage 6 loadshedding is very welcome.
Surrounded by mountains in natural beauty. Just what we needed to shake off the problems of city life!
The restaurant and bar's prices are very high compared to other places. This means that visitors do not use the services.
The power sharing is quite a problem. Luckily we brought our own LED flashlights. The farm and surroundings are beautiful and the recent rains have made the Klein Karoo soft and light green.
Very nice stay, neat place. Tranquility and very beautiful. Staff friendly and helpful.
The service was professional. Staff were accommodating (eg provided a coffee plunger at our request). The generator during load shedding was a nice bonus, especially since there is no cell phone reception and we depended on the WiFi. Facilities were neat and well equipped.
It had been excellent. It was a nice place, just a pity the one night was too little.
Very nice and clean, unfortunately only slept there one night.
Landscape was amazing. Very good place for relaxing.
The place has a beautiful setting, was clean and tidy. The outside was well kept. We did not get a chance to use the restaurant as we were attending a family funeral but I would like to go back under better circumstances. The entrance was a bit close to a bend in the road which could be dangerous, and caution is advised. Would want to visit soon again. I enjoyed the tranquil beautiful scenery.
Tranquil location. Clean property and friendly staff.
Only Openview TV option.
Had a good stay, did not use resturant facilities so cannot rate.
Staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome!
We were passing through to Stormsrivier and made use of one overnight stay. It was very comfortable, the room was neat, clean and the beds were very good.
Beautiful accommodation with everything needed.
Main bed's mattress is very very bad and needs to be replaced.
Nice quiet environment.
The menu is very interesting. Meals are a bit expensive, but very tasty. I would recommend that more drinking water be made available in the rooms.
Centrally located and value for money. Staff were very helpful. Will definitely stay there again if the opportunity presents itself.
The environment is fantastic. Very quiet and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Just wouldn't book again before the restaurant as everyone is watching you who comes for breakfast in the morning.
De Oude Meul's rooms are large and comfortable. The breakfast is very tasty and offers many options. The dinner at the restaurant was also beyond expectations. However, the service is a bit slow. It is a good overnight destination and also a central base for exploring the area.
Dstv and air-conditioning did not work at all. Even outside loadshedding. Disappointed because one would like to relax with TV. otherwise it was beautiful and peaceful. Value for money.
De Oude Meul Country Lodge treated us very well. Quiet atmosphere, good service and value for money. Facilities were neat and clean. Enjoyed it a lot.
Kitchen facilities are very scanty. No sink. Only a dish to be filled at the shower.
For one night's stay yes.
Disappointed that I called and asked if our 2 children could share a room with us. We would have set up their stretchers in the rooms, but were immediately rejected and told there was no room for the children. On arrival there we saw that we could accommodate the children, because the room was bigger than expected. We should have found another place to stay for our children. We had a wedding at 3 o'clock in Oudtshoorn and called and asked if there was a chance we could come in earlier seeing that check-out time is 10 o'clock. Was told we couldn't get in before 2. This made us late for the wedding. I feel that they certainly could have accommodated us to make a plan so that we could be there just a little earlier. Place is very neat, very safe and very well lit. Everything about the place is neat, but will not use them again for the reason that they do not try to accommodate you at all. I was willing to pay more for the children.
Facilities not bad, food at restaurant and breakfast average but pricey. Left my iPad in the room, but received a call from George at reception an hour after we left and got it returned to me by a friend who was coming through to Knysna. So, all's well and full marks to George and staff for their honesty.
Although we really enjoyed our stay at De Oude Meul, the Comfortable King rooms by the pool are not really ideal for self-catering. It's difficult to wash dishes or fill the kettle in the room basin. Also, a mirror above the basin would make shaving easier. Besides that, the pool, restaurant and friendly helpful staff all make this a great place to stay in Oudtshoorn.
The lodge is pleasant. Rooms are clean. However, the restaurant service was lacking, and the decor of the rooms is very old and dated, and looks run-down.
It was a nice, safe environment. Had everything we needed for our stay.
We really expected more from Oude Meul. We were a family with small children. Oudtshoorn is 15 minutes away. We knew that, but didn't realize that their own restaurant doesn't open until 6 o'clock in the evening. Too late for small children. No facilities in accommodation for loadshedding. So can't cook. And no cell phone reception except wifi. I.e. loadshedding, no mobile reception.
Somehow they didn't wash the linen according to standard! I would definitely not recommend people to stay there, especially if you want to sleep peacefully and relax.
The relevant self-catering unit we stayed in had no sink in the bathroom. There was a face wash basin in the sleeping area in which you had to do everything. Face, hands, washing dishes and shaving. There was no purchased bottled water in the fridge, only a wine bottle with an unsealed plastic stopper that you can refill at the restaurant. There was no milk in the fridge either. The water kettle and microwave as well as the container with sugar, etc. was black from the ants.
Wouldn't say it was up to the standard of a four star place to stay.
Best plugs that can charge mobile phones, so no double adapter needed. Feel free to put up more open shelves in the kitchen area for more space. Kitchen not willing to make special requests, may have only bought one cup of milk and kitchen could not make scrambled eggs for my child. Carpets in room would have been nice.
Neat, safe accommodation with lots of things for children to do.
Very neat and clean. There are some animals to see and nice place to walk.
Very nice stay with family for 1 night. Swimming pools were a winner and the location very nice surrounded by mountains. Reception was friendly and can definitely recommend Oude Meul. Wish we could have stayed a few days longer.
This visit was really worth it, we will definitely stay at De Oude Meul again.
It feels like you are far from everything, but actually you are on the main road and close to town. Very pleasant to sit and eat and the goats walk past you.
Very nice and neat. We were received very kindly and told in detail what to do. Stay place tidy and everything you need for overnight. Will recommend.
It's a beautiful lodge with friendly staff and clean rooms.
The location is great with easy access to the Kango caves, Swartberg Pass and Klein Karoo. Will definitely stay there again. The gardens are a retreat for the soul. Well cared for and nicely laid out. Only negative is that also has a reception area for weddings and larger functions. Can be noisy at times, but overall the environment was quiet and peaceful.
The stay was great and lots to do and entertainment for the whole family.
From all the happy animals to the cleanest, most comfortable place to sleep, we and especially our children really enjoyed the two nights' stay. You feel one with nature and all the nature sounds and the feeling of being free. Breathtakingly beautiful, peaceful, clean and delicious. Will definitely recommend people hereafter. Thank you very much for your hospitality and all the extras. We really felt at home.
They thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially the time for relaxation in such a beautiful environment. Full of praise for breakfast and how accommodation was arranged. In their own words "one amazing holiday".
Very neat place, will go there again if the opportunity allows. Nice stay.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant's food is out of the books and value for money. Rooms are nice, clean and tidy. The environment is beautiful. We would stay there again anytime.
The mountains, the scenery, the hospitality, it's on another level.
For people who only use self-catering, B6 lacked a drying rack for cutlery. Hooks can be fitted for dishcloths if you don't want to hang them over chairs or on handles. I know there is room for the towels, but opposite the shower door could also be an arrangement against the wall more for support if needed (such as for the disabled) and then it can be used for multiple purposes. I always say to establishments if the owner is on or near the resort, sleep for three nights in your own place and do what your guests do, then you will soon see what the flaws are - what you think is right often falls short - just want to say that we have already received good feedback on the advice. Thank you very much.
Beautiful accommodation in the perfect setting. Friendly service with everything we needed. We highly recommend De Oude Meul Country Lodge and Restaurant and will definitely use the accommodation again.
We stayed to watch the races at the track.
Very neat and clean unit. Friendly and helpful service.
Everything I needed for my 2 nights. Will definitely stay there again. All the farm animals are too cute!
It was very nice like that among the mountains.
It was a pleasant experience, we will stay at De Oude Meul again. Beautiful location.
We really enjoyed it. It is incredibly beautiful and the lawns are a feast for the eyes. We enjoyed the goats and rabbits, we enjoyed just walking around and even got to pop into the Glamping tents. Everything is clean and beautiful. The only negative was the steak we ate at the restaurant, it tasted sour and the meat inside was very white, not what you expect from a steak and the Cuppachinos are not cuppachinos at all, it's bland milk coffee with foam on it , not impressed with it at all. We will definitely visit again.
We only stayed overnight on the way to our destination and were pleasantly surprised with the luxurious accommodation and layout of the establishment. The space, animals in camps, walking paths, pond and river as well as the a la Carte restaurants on the premises. Staff are friendly and helpful and concerned about the guests. Will definitely book again.
Quiet, idyllic setting in nature. Excellent getaway for couples and families alike. Friendly welcome and great service. Delicious meals at the on-site restaurant. Would definitely recommend it.
The place offers a lot for travelers who want to visit the Kango Caves. Beautiful gardens, in a lovely valley. For families with younger children, the rabbit cage is where you can visit the rabbits. There are benches everywhere where you look at the wildlife in the camps. The history of the mill is quite special. The mill is part of the restaurant. The kitchen part of the unit is small and is part of the master bedroom is the only negative I can mention, but for that there is a beautiful restaurant and the buffet breakfast available.
Anthony was a star! Due to circumstances beyond our control we had to move our dates each time and Anthony was very patient and helpful. The place and surroundings are beautiful, neat and clean.
Dis 'n hemel op aarde so tussen die berge. Van die aankoms tot die vertrek was perfek met die vriendelikste personeel. Die wooneenheid was baie, baie skoon gewees en daar was alles wat 'n mens nodig het. Hier kan 'n mens regtig vergeet van die wêreld en net rustig raak en ontspan. De Oude Meul is tops! Definitief 'n kuier werd.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at De Oude Meul.
We were received so spontaneously and felt very comfortable. Wonderful clean rooms. Perfectly furnished with more than expected amenities and slept great. Host and wife very friendly and helpful. Will not stay overnight in Oudtshoorn again.
Everything a person needs! The owners / host leave nothing to be desired. Nothing is too much trouble; the units are fully serviced and clean. not to mention the breathtaking scenery!
Very friendly and hospitable staff.
Will definitely go again.
Can recommend it 100 percent. Safe and quiet. Very relaxing and close to als.
View and senary is amazing, most entertaining to watch the pigs, sheep, ostrich, rabbits and buck which come to graze. The dinner we had at the restaurant was the most memorable experience a delicious Kudu and Eland steak.
Quiet farm atmosphere and children really enjoyed all the animals.
It's heaven on earth like this between the mountains and valley. From our arrival to departure was perfect with the friendly staff. Our B4 apartment had been very, very clean. We drove out to the caves, wow wonderful and Meiringspoort was excellent to see. Little things that bothered me a bit were the small kitchen, no sink, it would be very good if the necessary kitchen facilities were put in place and also braai facilities such as wood, braai tongs and such, no carpets in front of the bed and our neighbors didn't wash not very pleasant people, we were kept up all night with their noise and commotion. It must also be definitely shared with the guests that it is unacceptable to want to make noise like that and not take the other guests into account. At De Oude Meul Country Lodge you can really forget about the world and just calm down and relax and it's really great! Definitely a getaway for nice relaxation. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at De Oude Meul. We will definitely holiday there again and definitely recommend it.
Even if it was very hot we enjoyed ourselves. Chilling in the pool. Nice walk up the mountain with the 4x4 road. The nice farm atmosphere and all the beautiful green shade trees.
We so enjoyed our stay, family accommodation was comfortable. Restaurant highly recommended. Good location.
De Oude Meul is well managed and lawns are excellently maintained. It always feels neat when you drive in and the mountains are a nice view to enjoy.
The accommodation was amazing. A beautiful place with fun for the whole family. Close to all the surrounding areas.
The room was spectacular. We had the honeymoon suite. The restaurant served excellent food. They just need to be a bit more customer-focused.
Relaxing, beautiful and fun. A broom could be useful in rooms even though there is a wonderful daily cleaning service which is really useful. And makes a difference.
Beautiful surroundings where the Lodge is located. However, it was too short to take it all in. Focus was on the KKNK. Will definitely go again.
Will book the accommodation again and recommend to others.
We had to sleep over one night. The place was set up very well for that and the restaurant was actually very very good, amazing Carpaccios. Cool pizza, awesome!
George went to great lengths to accommodate our caravan, even giving us a choice of another unit. The restaurant was great.
Restaurant menu is very limited, staff unexperienced, but friendly. Rooms were clean and neat, but very limited cutlery / crockery for self catering.
Although the unit is tidy and has most basic amenities (microwave, small fridge and limited DStv access), there is only one sink available in the unit for all washing up (breakware) and normal bathroom amenities (such as face and hand wash, toothbrush , shaving, etc.) should be used. It's a shame as it degrades the unit's functionality.
Baue had a great time, even if it was just one night.
Place where you get away from the hustle and bustle of the city with all the beauty around you.
Friendly staff who always help.
Was very nice and the staff are very helpful, there are many animals to see.
It is such a beautiful place surrounded by the mountains. Everything is very neat, clean and so well maintained. The residence, the gardens, swimming pools, the entire complex is a feast for the eyes. Ten out of ten to the whole team involved, you will definitely see us again.
Comfortable room and nice surroundings. The on-site restaurant is very convenient.
We have stayed at De Oude Meul Country Lodge several times. This time was a less good experience. The management struggled to control the adjacent inconsiderate guests.
Restaurant dirty. Room dirty. Late check-in room not right.
Either the cupboards are wiped or the bed is made but not both, there was a day we had no services in our room. The gate rule: between 9 at night and 7 in the morning you can't go in or out, you have to ask for a remote, it's not offered on your arrival. Just too far outside Oudtshoorn. 13 km and I wish they could advertise it like that on the website.
Will definitely recommend it.
Quiet almost farm atmosphere. Scenic. Very good service and location suits us because it is far from traffic and other hustle and bustle.
Will definitely be back and recommend to everyone.
Was lovely. Friendly reception and rooms clean and tidy with everything you need.
It's pretty much a hidden gem in the desert. Very friendly people, the best way to relax away from all the noise, great for couples, families and small groups. The owners are very down-to-earth and friendly.
Great for an overnight stay with the best freshly prepared breakfast ever.
Friendly staff. Good food and service at the restaurant. The kids loved all the animals, especially the bunnies.
Very nice place to stay and very nice food at the restaurant.
Clean and tidy, good food.
Can see owners are involved.
Very nice and neat. Good location. Friendly welcome. Nice restaurant on site.
Looking for overnight accommodation for our To Hell And Back MTB race. Well located, safe and quiet. Everything we needed. Peaceful, quiet and very beautiful surroundings. Will visit there again.
Friendly staff and great value for money. Enjoy peace and quiet next to the dam.
Very quiet, units are well maintained.
Vriendelik ontvang. Gasheer is baie behulpsaam. Mooiste plek. Rus vir ons siel. Alles is pragtig daar.
The staff are friendly. The environment is clean and peaceful. Will definitely be going back there.
It was one of our best stays ever! The location, atmosphere and tranquility with absolute personal service, value for money is to be found here! We were also blessed to experience snow at the Swartberg Pass.
Staff went out of their way to make us feel at home and even gave us a room upgrade at no extra cost. Breakfast was great and the staff made sure that it was ready whenever we were, even when we changed times at the last minute.
We had everything we needed and Anthony was very hospitable. Would definitely go back!
It is always an absolute pleasure to stay here. It's clean, tidy, lots to do and the grounds are absolutely beautiful.
The room and en-suite bathroom are very nice, with a cute veranda overlooking the mountains. Very nice environment at the mountain.
The restaurant's dinner in particular was excellent. Friendly service.
Very peaceful farm atmosphere and nature. Place was ideal for us to spend the night and will use De Oude Meul again.
Our visit was in 2 days. We can quickly get to all activities around Oudshoorn. The farm is picturesque. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We could use a well-deserved break. Worth it for sure.
Everything is beautifully neat from the garden to the self-catering units. Clean, well equipped and the reception was very friendly. The restaurant's breakfast is unbeatable.
The environment is breathtaking. The reception is very friendly. The food in the restaurant was five star. The unit is very neat and luxurious. There is almost no cell phone reception between the mountains. Luckily there was WiFi available which met the basic needs.
Friendly welcome, everything explained well and pointed out where all the available amenities are. Unit neat, clean with everything needed available. Safe environment with beautiful view. Will definitely visit again.
To such an extent that I recommended De Oude Meul to all my friends and acquaintances. Once again, with appreciation, thank you very much!
We only stayed one night and everything we wanted was there. The service is very good.
This was our third visit to De Oude Meul and every time it was a nice visit and rest for the soul. It was certainly not the last visit either!
Lovely getaway place where it's easy to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
Surrounded by the mountains it lies like an oasis for a weary traveller. Accommodation is neat and clean. Restaurant serves delicious meals and definitely worth a visit. For families with young children, there is more than enough to keep them occupied.
There is so much for children to do and experience. We enjoyed our visit very much.
The management and staff are very, very friendly. I tell all my friends about De Oude Meul Self-catering.
Friendly personal service, very affordable, neat clean room.
It was quiet and peaceful. We could walk around the property without any restrictions and were able to relax in the comforts of our chalet.
Great place and tidy.
For improvement, candles, soap, mosquito spray can be provided.
We would be 5, there was no place to sleep for 5th person. No sink or stove in kitchen. Block B is not ideal. Premises are beautifully green and neat. Friendly staff.
See stars.
Quiet, nice garden, met three beautiful dogs. Food for the soul.
It is good to see how much attention is still being given to the site despite the restrictions that have hit the tourism value chain so particularly hard. It is understandable that certain adjustments had to be made but the impact is minimal. For sure still a beautiful resort and friendly, personal service that makes a guest feel special.
Kitchen extremely disappointing. Kitchen extremely poorly equipped. No sink - only plastic dish. No running water in kitchen. Shower head needs replacement. Linen outdated. Room does not meet 4 star standard in any way.
Perfect getaway to take a break from the busy city. The lodge manager was very friendly, accommodating and professional. The buffet breakfast was good value for money.
Was a very quick visit but would definitely stay there again and of course want to stay longer.
Good value for money. The place was neat.
The driver called us to find out where we were, after we stopped a little longer at Prins Albert and Meiringspoort to experience everything. After we checked in at the Oude Meul a little late, he was still very helpful and still took the time to tell us about the area and accommodation. The smell of barbecue in the evening from the neighbors put us to good sleep.
Basic and clean facilities. There is a braai area but it is not private and there is a restaurant. The animals and pools are great after a day in the car with children. My only issue was the very limited self-catering equipment in the two sleeper rooms which we had. My advise would be to bring microwave meals or a braai for dinner. The location makes it great as an overnight stop and it was comfortable and clean.
Room was basically just a room. Have to drive to town if you want food as the restaurant is extremely expensive and food was very poor. Nice gardens and a pool.
From our first contact with Anthony we received excellent service. The location of the guest house was perfect for the sights we wanted to visit. Anthony also made great recommendations and booked us some of the places he thought might be busy. My little girl loved walking around and visiting all the animals, especially the cute bunnies. The cookies for breakfast stole her heart. Our unit was comfortable with a nice porch and private braai area, just what we had in mind. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend them highly. We can't wait for our next visit!
Comfy bed, small room, rudimentary furnishings. Internet connection unreliable. Above all, it is not self-catering accommodation! There is no stove, no pots and pans, only a bar fridge. Fine for making coffee or warming up leftovers, but impossible to cook. This is probably done on purpose, so that one is forced to go to their expensive restaurant.
Very conveniently located. Extremely neat and clean with very friendly and helpful staff.
Interesting room. No sink in the self-catering unit with kitchenette. We didn't know how and where to wash our dishes. Good linen for beds but just want to mention that the master bedroom with double bed is in the open plan area and the 2 single beds are in the bedroom.
See stars.
Service very good and accommodation excellent.
Basic value for money accommodation. I don't think it should be listed with WiFi as it was not really available, however there are beautiful views, a great swimming pool and it was close to the Cango Caves and that is what we wanted. As mentioned basic stay nothing luxurious, but was enough for what we needed it for.
This is our third visit and will not stay anywhere else in Oudtshoorn. The maintenance on the gardens and buildings is very good and it is a feast for the eyes. Keep it up.
Nice on the farm. Room was clean and tidy and the staff very friendly. The restaurant on site is excellent.
It was wonderful to stay at De Oude Meul Game Farm, the breakfast was delicious and the children really enjoyed the animals. Als was just perfect. Thank you very much. See you again soon.
It's a an awesome place and the people are very helpful. You can just enjoy nature and relax. It's going to be good for the soul!
On a sweltering summer day, De Oude Meul was a real green oasis to come home to. The unit in the A-block we stayed in was spotless and tidy, with all the necessary facilities. The air conditioner worked great to cool the room. For us as older people, it was particularly convenient that the room also had a back door where we could park to carry luggage down very easily. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the Grobbelaars River that flows past the area adds to the lovely scenery so I could photograph dragonflies to my heart's content. I only had one disappointment: When I later walked to the nearest pool in my swimming trunks, I found I couldn't get in to cool off because there was no handrail to hold on to, and the first step is a bit far for a 75 year old, so I wouldn't be able to get out on my own either! Oh dear! What I found incredibly interesting was the information about the farm and its people's history, especially the testimony of Boy Spies about prayer hearing in his life. Sorry there was not enough time to read all the stories.
The breakfast was outstanding an the grounds were beautiful.
Reception was good. Breakfast delicious. Comfortable room, very clean and nice and quiet. Very close to caves and ostrich farm.
The team from De Oude Meul made us feel welcome. We will definitely visit them again.
Will definitely book again at De Oude Meul Game Farm. The staff are friendly and helpful. The whole place is very neat and also very safe. Only disappointment was the quality of the WiFi, it was extremely slow and very unstable. For the families with teenagers, I don't need to explain the frustration this can cause.
The unit we stayed in had everything you need if you're only staying a few days. It's not fancy, and the bathroom is pretty neat, but everything was clean and tidy. The reception was friendly, and a very warm atmosphere prevails every morning in the dining room where breakfast is served. The staff chats very friendly with all the guests, and therefore guests talk about having fun with each other. There are swimming pools and various animals (ostriches, goats, ponies and bunnies) in cages on the premises, and large lawns. So there is plenty to entertain children. The environment is also very beautiful.
Delicious breakfast. Friendly helpful staff.
Clean, safe, food was top notch. Would've have know about this place if it weren't for the website. Would definitely recommend it.
Everything is well looked after, neat, clean and it's located in a beautiful place.
The friendly reception was warm and cozy.
Comfortable and spacious accommodation. Clean. Pleasant, helpful staff. Secure parking.
The Oudemeul is a peaceful place to stay just outside Oudtshoorn - Clean, tidy and lovely to stay, with hospitable staff. The reason for the low customer service rating is the following: We have booked a family unit which includes a kitchen with everything needed for self-catering. Our unit only had a microwave - no stove, or pots or pans - and we had to cook all our food somehow. They did bring us a two-plate stove when we asked with a big pot, but that's not what we booked and paid for.
Peaceful atmosphere and very friendly staff.
The nature is so beautiful and beautiful and would love to come again and stay there for a few days, and there is a pool which is a bonus. It had been a really hot day and their air-con which is also a bonus.
Nice, clean, and tidy! Nice stay.
The breakfast was superb! The accommodation had everything we needed. I would highly recommend De Oude Meul.
Our stay was truly relaxing. Children enjoyed the animals and the beds were fantastic. Well maintained.
Friendly reception and hospitable staff. Delicious breakfast! Perfect location! Neat and modern accommodation!
Thank you very much, we had a wonderful stay, ate and walked!
Here you get value for your money! Best stay in a long time. Living units very clean and tastefully furnished. Natural beauty and silence are food for the soul. Management and staff are hospitable and do their best to make your stay as pleasant as possible. All meals unbeatable. Will definitely visit De Oude Meul Game Farm again soon.
Most beautiful, tranquil surroundings, superbly equipped units with top-class sleeping comfort and shower facilities. The most delicious buffet breakfast and friendly hosts and staff. The food in the restaurant is not only beautifully presented, but also delicious. We will definitely stay here again.
The staff deserve to be commended on their attitude and helpfulness. Nothing was too much for them. The breakfast included everything you could possible think of. To summarise in one word - Scrumptious. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!
We had a great time. The rooms were tasteful with enough space for 5 people. The breakfast was absolutely in a class of its own: ample and deliciously prepared. The grounds were tidy and the little children could safely enjoy the benefits that were there. The bunnies got a lot of deductions. In addition, there were many other interesting things to do and the host and wife also made a good effort to help. Highly recommend and I would love to go there again.
Will go back anytime, was very pleasant and wonderful staff. Was there for a wedding.
The lodge is very attractive with lots of trees, lawns, brooks, a pond and also has a swimming pool. Rooms are spacious and clean. Very good restaurant on the premises. Breakfast is excellent and cooked with a smile by the owner and her staff. Strong Wi-Fi signal. The lodge is conveniently located between Oudtshoorn and the Cango Caves and Swartberg pass. Highly recommended.
We had a great stay at Oude Meul. The people were friendly and the breakfast delicious! Will definitely go there again.
What a fantastic experience. Was pleasantly surprised and would recommend it anytime. Service excellent. Oasis in Oudtshoorn and animals a bonus.
After a long day's travel, the tranquility was a relief. Breakfast is delicious and the restaurant's meals are top notch.
Friendliest staff and very helpful. Felt like home.
Had a great stay, will definitely stay there again.
The family unit we were allocated only had a microwave but no stove (so no cooking facilities). There was also a shortage of salad bowls, pots and pans. Couldn't even bake or boil an egg. The braai area was not protected and was exposed to the wind and weather. The problems were pointed out to the owner and the management and were kindly discussed. Our apartment (No. 6C and 7C) is actually two comfortable rooms, but in my opinion is not a family unit.
Luxury accommodation with good friendly service. The breakfast is excellent and good value for money. However, the restaurant on site is disappointing and not value for money.
Beautiful, peaceful, friendly, superb.
Great restaurant. DStv really has the minimum channels.
The bed slept great and the unit has everything you need.
We have been to several places to sleep and when we get there there is always everything. At this accommodation, not even plates were washed. We had to pay R75 for our meal. A basic need. We booked two units. One unit had a microwave which the other did not. We then went to make enquiries, where we then heard that not all units have a microwave as some are larger units than others, but the price is exactly the same so I don't know how that can be. You have to book the braai place, so only one unit can use the braai, so if you book too late it's over and you're half forced to eat at the restaurant. I was very disappointed. I would never have expected that. The environment is stunning and very child-friendly.
People were very hospitable and friendly.
The place itself is a source of tranquility and bliss. Location very well located. Annelie is very helpful and even the slightest request was no problem. Oumie in the breakfast area is a great asset and I appreciate her explanation about the different foods. I really enjoyed the walking route.
Extremely weak. Last visit to Oude Meul. Cold shower water and no coffee and tea as before.
We have been visiting The Oude Meul as a highlight in our short vacation. The friendly and efficient service in all aspects makes us happy to visit the place again in the future. Many thanks to the host and his spouse/staff that made us feel at home and made nice memories.
For the nature person who likes silence.
We were very happy and more than satisfied with the lodge. The premises were well maintained and amenities were exactly what we needed. Staff are very helpful and make you feel very welcome. We slept in the Luxury Suite which was very spacious, neat and modern. The indoor braai was very handy as well as fully equipped kitchen. We would certainly recommend this lodge to anyone who loves nature and still wants to sleep in style.
It's the nicest place to stay at. Very neat, delicious breakfasts, gardens and everything are so beautiful. Staff very friendly and helpful.
We had an unplanned extra 2 nights to linger on the way from Worcester to Senekal and then decided on Oudtshoorn. We are looking for a comfortable, well-equipped self-catering unit, but with restaurant facilities close by in case of a peaceful scenic setting - outside, but still close to town. De Oude Meul exceeded all our requirements with a beautiful site on which the units are spread. There is a wonderful feeling of space and space with enough lawns, garden areas and a nice clear swimming pool that cannot help but calm the visitor. All the staff are genuinely friendly and helpful and do not hesitate to accommodate special requests. We also really enjoyed the breakfasts - tasty and in a friendly homely atmosphere it brings the guests together. One will really be able to stay longer than 2 nights.
We were treated very well from beginning to end. Our breakfeast was fantastic and even when we were late due to the late biathlon prize giving the gate was opened without any moans and groans. Super friendly people.
Comfortable, modern self-catering rooms with a well equipped kitchen and braai area. The air-con was heaven sent, as was the swimming pool. Adequate, covered parking for car and trailer. The restaurant was disappointing though, overpriced and a poor attempt to be fancy. Would go back but not to the restaurant. Breakfast was good. A mere 10 minute drive to the caves. Lovely play area for younger kids.
Had a great time in B Blok's family suite, swimming pool for the children right in front of our door.
We hada lovely stay at The Oude Meul! It is neat and clean and very tasteful. The environment is absolutely beautiful. We were able to braai on the stoep. Will definitely visit again.
What a nice place. Heaps of value for money. Old world hospitality.
The only place to stop over when visiting the Cango Caves. This place is a paradise of nature and the accommodation and restaurant have not been left behind. Will always stay at Oude Meul Country Lodge when in the area.
It was a happy and enjoyable stay that I would recommend to anyone who wants to visit Oudtshoorn. The staff are friendly and helpful.
Will definitely stay at De Oude Meul during our next visit to the area. Great an peaceful setting, great food and excellent hospitality.
It is one of the most beautiful and well maintained resorts we have ever visited. The restaurants for breakfast and dinner are of high quality. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The very small problems that there were were sorted out immediately. We will definitely recommend the resort and will take every possible opportunity to visit the place again.
Excellent place to stay, fantastic views from the hotel and chalets - including buck, excellent breakfast menu, safe undercover parking, excellent restaurant menu, clean rooms and shower, friendly staff. Lovely play area for children with farm animals, it is well situated near Cango Caves and the ostrich farms.
Pleasant overnight accommodation for four adults. Was able to grill a delicious Karoo lamb chop. Delicious breakfast useful. We would love to stay here again.
The owners, staff and everyone involved deserve a standing ovation for the service and kindness! We will definitely do everything we can to be able to go there again!
Thank you very much for a wonderful reception and the trouble you went through for us! Would definitely stay there again. The breakfast/accommodation was something extraordinary.
The best, friendliest service I have come across in many years. My husband and I couldn't be happier. Many thanks to everyone from De Oude Meul!
We really enjoyed our stay at De Oude Meul. The sleeping facilities, service by the staff and attitude of the owners were great!
It was so nice that we could take our dog with us.
Unbelievable hospitality. So much to see and do. Pity we didn't have much time.
See stars.
TV channels didn't work but it wasn't that important for us as we were only staying overnight.
The staff were friendly and helpful. Everything was in its place and the room was clean and neat, it was a wonderful experience. The breakfast was delicious and I can gladly recommend De Oude Meul Country Lodge.
Simply put, it was wonderful. Thanks André super wonderful friendliness, thanks for every person who contributed to our wonderful time there where oyu feel like family. Thanks to the owners, Boy and his wife, who are so friedly and nice to the guests, who takes a moment to aknowledge each guest and to make them feel worthy. You add value to each and every person who has the privilege to stay with you. Accommodation in a heavenly paradise.
The location and facilities were excellent (restaurant as well). Had the nicest Boplaas wine. The staff were very friendly. I will recommend De Oude Meul to anyone wanting to go to that area.
The children played wonderfully and we slept warm even though it was cold outside. I can highly recommend it for families with children. The food at breakfast was top notch. In the evening we went to eat at the restaurant which is child friendly and serves delicious food.
Thank you for hospitality and delicious breakfast.
Very well located, especially for KKNK festival goers.
It's like a home away from home, very hospitable and friendly people.
Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.
Incredibly peaceful and in a beautiful setting and it is clean and tidy, as is the maintenance of the lawns and gardens. Very neat gardens that are maintained and the history of the farm was also available.
What a lovely experience.
Friendly and professional service - we felt at home. The room and bathroom were very neat, comfortable and clean with delicious breakfast. We would really like to go back!
See stars.
Great location and silence.
It was neat and safe and well located for what we wanted to do. It's close enough for the cyclists to spend the night.
Always a pleasure staying at Oude Meul.
Thank you for everything.
Warm welcome and peaceful atmosphere. Rooms comfortable and well equipped. Delicious breakfast. Ostrich fillet at restaurant to be recommended.
Accommodation excellent, restaurant very good and breakfast brilliant. We will come again.
So peaceful and hospitality was amazing.
We were tired after a long day on the road and were excited about the air conditioning in the rooms. The TVs in the rooms were a bonus for the kids. A restaurant on the premises helped that we did not have to drive back to Oudtshoorn again in the evening. Tasty food was served for breakfast. Staff were greeted like old friends. We will come back for longer next time.
Incredible environment between mountains that has a calming effect on a person. It was the best dinner and breakfast ever - would definitely recommend.
And their restaurant is top... The accommodation was neat and clean and was pleasant for children.
Accommodation is neat and stylish. The restaurant's food is delicious and prepared with care. Breakfast was also delicious with a great variety. Site offers a peaceful atmosphere. The location is perfectly close to many of the tourist attractions.
It is a very beautiful place. I would definitely recommend the restaurant.
It was just what I needed.
See the stars below.
We will use you again in the future!
Very nice stay.
From the first moment on our arrival, being met with coffee and cookies, to the last breakfast on the beautiful patio, looking out over the amazing green valley, we loved every moment at the lodge. We stayed in a self catering family unit, we loved the two rooms going out into the living area. Boy and Marianne can be very proud of De Oude Meul Lodge. We also had a meal at the restaurant and really enjoyed the atmosphere and delicious food.We will certainly go there again. Thank you!

Feel free to visit De Oude Meul Country Lodge and enjoy the wonderful scenery and friendly people.

Delightfully relaxing and a good start to a short break. The family unit is more than big enough for a student and a teenager. The place is well equipped and provides a very friendly service. Next time we will try the restaurant as well.
Lovely location, friendly owners and very good food in the restaurant, recommended.
Good location. The restaurant at the hotel's food is not up to standard, except for their venison dishes.
Neat, but too expensive for my taste.
The room was incredibly dirty. The bedding had yellow stains all over it. The TV in the room's image was green. I don't usually complain about places, but the place was unacceptable. The breakfast the next morning was ice cold, even though we were the very first ones there.
We enjoyed our stay and will stay there again. We enjoyed the beauty and the quietness!
It was lovely to feel like you were relaxing on a farm. Farm friendly service. Everything was exceptionally clean, tidy and crisp!
Friendly and hospitable service. Location of the lodge is beautiful. Will use De Oude Meul's services again.
We had a great stay and ate very well in their restaurant. Our stay there added up to a very nice motorcycle experience.
Recommended! Although there was a power outage, the emergency power provided all the needs! Will stay here again anytime!
My husband and I and another couple stayed for 3 nights in the 'Family Unit.'It felt like our home! Everything was just right and the icing on the cake was the nice hot water when we could take a nice shower after a day out! The unit is serviced every day and the staff are top notch! We had an unforgettable stay at De Oude Meul. Thank you very much for that. The Bothas of Port Elizabeth.
Great service and definitely value for money! Tranquil and breathtaking scenery.
See the stars below.
Thanks for the cozy place, we'll be back.
We will definitely stay there again.
The entrances to the houses from the back can be easily beautified with a few plants. The front end compensates for everything. The peaceful atmosphere is truly fantastic.
The surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful! I will stay at De Oude Meul again and recommend it to others as well.
There was no DStv in the room.
After a very long hard day, the reception was friendly; the room clean, tidy, warm. Restaurant service friendly and fast - food excellent. Nice quiet and peaceful breakfast on time.
Second time we have stayed here. Wonderful location near cango caves. Have only used as an overnighter, but would be nice to stay longer
