89 guests' feedbackVery helpful staff members, and rooms are clean.
Very nice, thank you. I grew up there, and it was great to feel welcome and at home.
Had a wonderful stay. Nice place to spend the night. Breakfast was delicious.
Absolutely safe in a quiet environment.
The accommodation was well up to standard and the owner very helpful with both local knowledge of the area and the best places to go for the locations of the wild flower season, which was the reason for our trip.
Very nice place to stay. Plenty of secure parking, nothing is too much trouble for Tina, our hostess.
Such an amazing hostess.
Yes, we rested very well.
See stars.
Lovely and open people.
Our host was the most welcoming and friendly. Absolutely went out of their way to make sure all was well as we arrived a bit later in the evening.
Very nice stay, friendly service.
Very pleasantly surprised with the guest house. Air conditioning helped a lot and the hostess was very helpful.
Comfortable and tidy rest stop for our group on the way back home.
Rooms are comfortable and clean. The aircon is very efficient. There is a very welcoming feel.
Very comfortable room to spend the night. Breakfast was delicious. Very good service and quick help for any queries we had.
Yes, it was very peaceful with everything that was needed for a stay.
Yes, I had a nice stay.
Very nice short plugs for phones.
Place was very clean, aircon's warm setting does not work. Nice big, comfortable bed, host was very friendly and helpful, even provided fresh milk. Will definitely stay again, location is very nice, bargain behind climbing was very nice.
Very comfortable stay, and easy to walk to town for dinner. The host was very welcoming and friendly.
We had a cosy stay at Old Mill Lodge, close to town and restaurants. Our host was also very friendly and allowed us to change our booking twice. Would highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay. Tina and her team were very helpful and friendly.
Clean and tidy accommodation. Breakfast was good.
The accommodation is basic and clean and the rooms are spacious, though lacking in character. Very sparse and no atmosphere. Lights don't even have shades on; they only left enough coffee for one serving each (so if you arrive in the afternoon, there was none for the morning). Safe off-street parking, and staff are friendly. Breakfast is extra and no longer included in the basic rate.
Location of guest house was good for a visit to Springbok and surroundings. Friendly service was excellent.
Stay was great bathroom shower fantastic, bed little on small side.
Although everything was clean, tidy and the host was friendly and went the extra mile for us, I prefer a place to stay with a little more well-kept furniture and room accessories. The rooms are cleaned with something that smells very pungent and it was unpleasant. Unfortunately the dining hall was closed on Sundays. I believe there are "warmer" and better equipped and more modern places to stay.
Yes, the stay was good.
We had a very nice stay. Room was neat and clean. Hostess and staff were very friendly and helpful.
Tina and the team are amazing.
Nice stay. Kitchen lacks dish soap and drying cloth for washing up. Single beds' mattresses are done.
Night very hot, power went off, and aircon didn't work.
Stay was adequate for one night. Rooms are tired and stale. Air conditioners either did not work or were very noisy. Rooms also smelled unpleasant and there was an underlying smell of urine all around the property. Breakfast was very good.
We had trouble finding the place, the final street number is not the same as it appears. The lady who received us (driver was out at that moment) didn't quite know how to answer our questions about breakfast. The room was small, but comfortable enough, the bath was lovely. It was disturbing that the bathroom door could not close tightly, and it was difficult to fill the kettle with water (at the bath?). Secure parking was a bonus.
Satisfactory outside seat dirty.
Parking was awkward. The room had a heavy perfume smell to the point of being unpleasant. The bathroom was wet on arrival from some leak.
Friendly service, clean room and very peaceful atmosphere.
Rooms are spacious and equipped with the basics - everything you need for an overnight stay. The host was friendly and kind. The bed was comfortable, but the double bed was a tight fit for two adults and a toddler!
Stayed very well. Maybe they should just put something there for the mosquitoes. I had lucky doom. But other than that it was very nice.
We could tell that Old Mill Lodge is being regenerated, to be fair, and we stayed during the off-season. It was slightly run-down, but we could see its potential. However, we couldn't complain about the cleanliness and comfort, and the service was good.
There is everything you need. A chair or 2 in the room would be welcome. Other than that, everything is 100%.
Friendly reception. Spacious room. Facilities clean and tidy.
Good hostess and family. Helpful, would stay there again.
Tina was very helpful and friendly. She also made us feel very welcome and recommended a great place to eat for dinner. Even though we only stayed one night I would recommend Old Mill Lodge anytime. I would definitely stay at Old Mill Lodge again but this time for a longer period. The room and bathroom were comfortable and very tidy. We really enjoyed our short time there.
Neat and clean. Google directions are imprecise so we struggled to find the place but the manager is aware of that.
Very quiet on the mountain.
Friendly staff. Nice location between the mountains. Will stay there again anytime if I go to Springbok.
Beautiful place, everything clean and tidy.
Best New Year's Eve in a very long time. Thank you for your hospitality and kindness.
Very nice, clean and tidy.
Lady at reception was very helpful and friendly. She went out of her way to make us feel at home.
For cold winter days, mats next to the bed would be useful. The door was warped and let in cold air. The one light on the bedside table had a bad electrical connection.
It was hospitable, the welcome was good. We felt very much at home.
Clean and comfortable, lovely host. Parking very tight when full. Breakfast overpriced for what you get.
Will come again for sure.
Rooms are neat and quiet. The hostess pleasant and helpful. However, parking is a bit scarce.
We had a wonderful stay. The people were incredibly friendly, helpful and hospitable. Next time we will ask for a room that is not so by the parking area. The lodge was full and privacy limited at the Buttercup Room. Nevertheless a very nice 2 days.
Lovey hospitality, the place has some calming natural effect.
I first arrived at the guesthouse at 22:00 that evening, and I felt very safe with the security gate closing behind me and the parking that was close to my front door. The garden is beautiful and we slept great.
Recommended. Good location. Provided with most necessities.
The road to the lodge is in bad condition.
Interesting building with pleasant garden and access to the koppie behind.
We slept well. Also had a nice dinner in town. However, the shower taps are broken.
Quiet, safe environment with little traffic noise, nice garden and view.
We had a great stay at Old Mill Lodge. The landlady was friendly and helpful, the breakfast was very pleasant and the room was comfortable. They seem to be renovating and renovating a bit now, unfortunately they haven't been to our room yet. But everything was clean, and it was a nice cavity for the foot. What is very good is that the site has a battery system, so that at least one has light during load shedding.
It was a lovely place. Very comfortable room. The breakfast which was additional was marvellous with the best sausage I have ever had and very reasonably priced. People are friendly and I could not ask for more.
We were well rested for the road ahead. It was a Thursday night just before a holiday and very quiet at the place. The overall setup was very good in terms of the premises and room. Secure ample parking is available. Everything in good condition and clean. We were warned in advance that because the next day was a holiday, that there would be no staff. But there was no mention of no breakfast. There were a lot of little things missing. Two-pin power plugs. No ordinary "English" tea.
The address is given as 69, but it is next to 35.
Good bedding and a nice bath and shower. The aircon worked but was very noisy in a hot town.
We were well received and the room was clean and tidy. It's not a self-catering unit, there are only facilities to make coffee or tea. It would have helped us a lot if there was an information sheet with information about places to eat in town (and the times when they are open), it would have made the search for food easier. A little dish soap and a dishtowel to be able to wash and dry cups after use will also help, after all, you drink tea or coffee more than once.
Room was cleaned daily. Good stay for self service.
Neat place to spend the night, with the necessary wifi and the most delicious breakfast.
Yes. Good hospitality.
Parking is a problem. New owner is upgrading. Possibly the 3 stars will mean something again in the future. There is lighting during load shedding.
Neat, but coffee station in the room needs coffee, two different coffee mugs, one glass. Not ideal for 2 nights.
The next morning the receptionist was soon there to ask if we slept well. When we talked about the music, she offered to give us a discount the next time and a free breakfast.
The place needs attention and maintenance.
The room we were given needs a serious upgrade.
The place was very neat, but does not justify the price. No provision made for load shedding. Loadshedding is here to stay and guesthouses will have to adapt.
The room was definitely not the one I booked. The shower head is the size of an old one-sided piece with no curtain or door to the shower. Tiles are broken in the bathroom and bed rock hard. We could not book breakfast because it was Sunday morning. New owner and she will have to work hard to get everything in place. We did get free breakfast (Monday morning) after I complained about the accommodation.
Place smells musty. Sink and shower are dirty. Have to ask for towels. No hot water.
Needs some attention and sufficient knives and spoons for 2 people.
Old food in fridge, dirty pillowcases, bad mold in shower, no kitchenware in cupboard, no chairs, only a table, dirty kettle, no ashtray in kitchen, toilet not flushing properly, old used (disposable) shower cap in bathroom under towels (hope towels were clean). Aircon is noisy so we had to turn it off during the night to be able to sleep. At least got free breakfast to make up for it. Definitely would not recommend.
The place is impersonal. The guests' comfort was not looked after and no drinking water was provided. I couldn't take a shower in the morning because 'loadshed'.
We just slept over. Room was clean, managers were very friendly and helpful. Pleasant atmosphere. I would definitely recommend.
Good service, neat, safe and friendly staff who are extremely helpful. Beautiful garden!
