Unforgettably nice stay! Nice view over the valley, cottage was comfortable with lots of space. The car was safely parked in front of the door. Kitchen was very comfortable, living room was nice and big and pleasant. Everything was neat and clean.
Amazing. Really loved the farm style aesthetic and extremely comfortable and cosy. Perfect base for exploring the Cederberg area.
Such a nice stay in a beautiful restored house. The dinner in the restaurant was out of the books!
Great stay! Very warm welcome!
Our stay in the Kliphuis was fantastic, but better than even the stay was the restaurant on the farm. For us who regularly eat in restaurants right across the country, this was an absolutely unexpected experience, from the unique menu to the most fantastic dishes. These people can cook like few. Thank you very much, for your kindness; you have a winning recipe!
We loved our stay; well located, clean and neat, really all we needed. We will be back.
We will definitely come again, but longer. We also had a great time at the restaurant.
Had a wonderful stay. Clean, tidy and nostalgic old house with a lot of character, equipped with everything you need. And a lovely fireplace. Our second visit there.
Stay was amazing. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed for our stay. Staff were friendly and accommodating.
We stayed in the Kliphuis, which was very nicely restored with a great view. The staff were great and the food was freshly delicious. Homemade everything! Thanks Sonia!
The location was central to what we wanted to see and do the two days.
We had a very nice stay at the Rooibos Cottage. Convenient to the N7. Nice fireplace and wood provided. Braai facilities. Booking and communication worked very well. Thank you.
Lovely stay. Two beautifully decorated bedrooms with showers en suite. Cosy living area with a fireplace which we enjoyed. Lovely outlook. Great meal in the restaurant. Very conveniently situated and value for money.
Wow, what a treat. Nice clean.
What a lovely old house to stay in. Very comfortable and spacious. Had a delicious breakfast at the restaurant. Very hospitably received.
Great stay - great house with all the facilities needed.
Authentic accommodation with beautiful vistas. Safe and quiet. Restaurant is definitely to be recommended - food is out of the books!
Definitely. Excellent resort. Will recommend.
The Old Village offers great accommodation. The church house is the cutest place. There is everything you need. The fireplace makes the place nice and cozy.
Very pleasant, but more hard copy information on the history.
A must for families who want to leave the hustle and bustle behind and enjoy the simple things.
Man, it was very nice, the view, the silence, the history and hospitality. Typical farm.
The Old Village has a lovely sleeping area with a beautiful view of the valley.
Very friendly service and very helpful.
Beautiful view, neat house and peaceful place.
We had a great stay, thank you. Management went out of their way to help us.
Many thanks to Sonja for her hospitality. She is a real stalwart. Everything worked in the house and very clean. Will definitely come back again. There was wood when we got there and on Sunday morning they came to unload more wood. Thank you very much.
Incredible place, also the stars at night are worth to see.
Had a great stay. Neat, clean and quiet. Restaurant's food was delicious. Was a bit cold and couldn't find warm blankets in the accommodation.
Beautiful old house, neatly equipped with everything you need. Great stay, thank you.
Stayed in Jacaranda, cottage is just excellent, everything one needs, just some steak/sharp knives would be useful! The view is magnificent, and the tranquility is amazing! The food is so good. I really enjoyed the Sunday Buffet; what a spread. The Jalapeno Poppers are the best!
We had a wonderful stay.
It was so special for us to stay in such a charming historic place and we loved the beautiful farm and surroundings.
Historic place and takes one back in time. All the amenities you need and the fireplace is the icing on the cake.
Very nice and good atmosphere.
We enjoyed our stay, although there are not many activities for the children on the premises. Citrusdal is extremely hot. Maybe consider equipping all units with air conditioning (e.g. hotel only had fans), and it was rather uncomfortable. Furthermore, the stay was pleasant.
Clean, very friendly, great accommodation and the restaurant was very good.
Great family vacation. Nice quiet and well rested.
An unforgettable experience. Beautiful house with furniture that matches the building style. Comfortably equipped and with tons of atmosphere. I would definitely book it again.
Very nice stay and very peaceful. Would definitely recommend it.
Unique, beautiful and very special!
Had a great stay, the place was beautifully neat and clean and really like the old fashioned building style. Jakaranda unit is very big and spacious with everything you need. Porch and view excellent! Pool was a welcome surprise.
We stopped over there from Namibia on our way to the Cape. It was very beautiful. The Jakaranda House was nicely restored and very comfortable. We drove there on the old Greyspas and stayed at the dams on the farm. It was an experience!
We had a great stay! And the restaurant is a must. The breakfast pizza is amazing. And the coffee is awfully good. Everything was just perfect.
My husband and I have been to The Old Village twice before, and we thought that the whole setup could work very well for a family festival with small children. It was also like this: each family had its own chalet, and we could visit each other again and again. The chalets were very nicely restored, and well equipped. Our children have great appreciation for the way the houses, some from 1752, are preserved. Sonia who manages everything is excellent! Thank you very much Sonia and your team. We also concluded our Family Festival with a delicious buffet dinner by Sonia and her team on Sunday afternoon.
A lot of space inside and outside, wonderfully cool in the hot early spring days with the opportunity to frequently cool down in the small, clean communal swimming pool.
Everyone was very impressed with the accommodation of beautifully restored cottages, and thoroughly enjoyed the farm atmosphere. Many thanks to Sonia and her team! It was the 3rd time that my husband and I were in Rooibos - this time with our children and grandchildren. We will want to go again and again! And now that we have seen the other houses, we would like to live in them too! We like the history that is so beautifully preserved, as well as the modern facilities that make a visit very comfortable and enjoyable. The free firewood is much appreciated! We were able to end our visit with a delicious buffet dinner on Sunday afternoon. Many, many thanks Sonia and team!
My wife and I had a lovely night's stay in this cosy. It was clean and cosy. Value for money.
Special arrangements could be made for late arrival.
Had a great time there.
Nice quiet and peaceful.
The place is peaceful, clean, and very nice.
Amazing accommodation. Tranquil on a farm.
Will definitely stay here again. Sonia was great, answering all the questions I had.
We stayed in the Smidswinkel cottage. It is a comfortable cottage that works well for a family with young kids. We enjoyed walking and exploring the orchards on the farm. A must for any family that loves the breathtaking mountain views and the outdoors.
We will definitely be back!
We arrived and felt immediately at home.
Perfect location, lovely restaurant and lovely cottage. Thanks Sonjia.
What a wonderful experience to be able to stay at the Old Villiage! Sonia and her team's hospitality and customer service is great! Feel free to also sit down for dinner at the restaurant, their food is delicious and portions are generous. For atmosphere, one could not ask for better. There is not a part of any building that does not tell years of stories and makes you nostalgic. Feel free to read a bit about the history of the special old village and come and relive in your imagination how people lived and worked here and come and listen to the stories that the thick old clay walls and the smooth wooden floors whisper to you. For those looking for comfort, there is enough here and it's done stylishly and sympathetically with the rich history. The kitchen is furnished with all basic necessities, there is wifi, air conditioning, hot water, braai facilities etc. and all of it is precise and super neat and clean. Old Villiage, we will definitely see you again!
We stayed in a kerkhuis, a small traditional cottage. Very clean and comfortable. An old-style high bed in the bedroom. We arrived during load shedding and we were provided with additional lighting, backup candles, and firewood. It was great to sit outside for an evening braai.
Highly recommended for accommodation in Citrusdal.
Very nice and service very good. Thank you very much, you will see us again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Neat home, peaceful surroundings with the most beautiful mountains. It is definitely worth it. Thank you very much.
Lovely restaurant. Very friendly owner and staff. The accommodation was spacious and neat. There were lovely views from the balcony. The surrounds were peaceful.
Soulful stay in a beautiful house in a beautiful environment.
Our stay at The Old Village was fantastic. The house is nice and spacious, very tidy and definitely value for money. The view is beautiful. The fireplace was a bonus. I would recommend The Old Village to anyone.
Booked for 2 days and was so impressed we stayed an extra day.
Very comfortable place to stay. Received friendly service from owner. The houses are well equipped, neat and have a nice farm atmosphere. Safe to go hiking too. Will definitely go again.
We needed somewhere for a small group to stay whilst participating in a sporting event. Kliphuis at The Old Village was perfect. Comfortably furnished, all necessary amenities, a fireplace, and braai.
Lovely house (Rooibos) with a fireplace and wood already standing. We just rested in the beautiful nature. Will definitely come back again!
Place is very old, but clean and tidy with modern facilities. The cottage was built in 1725 and it feels like you are walking back in time. Ideal place if you want dead silence. Sonia was very friendly and helpful.
Our hostess was very friendly and welcoming and we were surprised with an Easter treat on entering the beautiful old house. We will stay there again but do recommend that the kitchen is equipped with a few more items of crockery, for example, soup and pudding bowls.
We immediately felt at home. Rooibos is cosy, but wonderfully spacious. The fireplace was an absolute treat. Perfect spot for a weekend away in winter.
Kitchen well equipped, beds and bathrooms good quality. Rooibos has a charm to which we will return.
The weather affected the stoep and braai activities. Will work very well in good weather.
Beautiful view from all the windows. House nicely furnished except for the very small TV. There was also no wood for the fireplace. Thought the braai was on the stoep, but you have to go down stairs to the braai. Unfortunately, it rained and we couldn't get some of the braai wood for the fireplace and we couldn't braai as we wanted either. Had to eat a sandwich. Couldn't find the WiFi password anywhere either.
Friendly and very good value for money.
We loved the peace and quiet. The views of the river and mountain are lovely from the deck of Rooibos. We loved the indoor fireplace, beautiful linen, and towels. The cottage has a nice big kitchen.
Friendly reception. Our dog was welcome. Clean and tidy. Will stay there again. Thanks Old Village.
Amazing place to spend the night and definitely worth the money.
We thought that an info file with WiFi code, nearby attractions, town information, is the water drinkable etc. history on the place. As there was nobody around, it would have been helpful.
See stars.
Incredible panoramic vistas on Citrusberge.
The place was quiet and nice.
The Old Village is a lovely place to unwind where you can rest properly. The swimming pool and restaurant add a lot to the comfort, especially in the heat of 42°C. a further surprise is the Art Gallery which offers an interesting selection of local artists. Can definitely recommend it.
We had a nice stay, thank you.
Beds and bedding excellent. Old world experience. Need chair and side table in bathroom. Also lacking shower curtain and general finishing.
We arrived mid-afternoon. Cold afternoon. Both (2) air conditioners did not work as well as the TV. The handyman was unsuccessful in repairing any of these issues. The blind in the kitchen did not open. Sonia did try her best to accommodate us. The kitchen blind would not open.
See stars.
The hostess is very helpful and friendly. We had the Jakaranda house, the rooms are very spacious, shower heads are large and high with good pressure, kitchen is a bit small, but well equipped, and the veranda outside is great for a late afternoon barbecue with a view of the mountains ! Note if you have pets, that the house is not fenced. Unfortunately, there are no facilities for loadshedding, so maybe take a gas bottle/duster and lights with you! We really enjoyed our stay!
Comfortable house, peaceful atmosphere.
We were looking specifically for a place where we can take our dogs. We stayed in Rooibos with a balcony which workout so well. We were able to take our dogs on a walk to the nearby dam. On site is a beautiful rustic restaurant and bar with lovely staff and good food.
The silence did us a lot of good as a family.
Central location with everything needed in a very cute unit (Jakaranda). The N7's traffic doesn't bother you at all either. The hostess was helpful with load shedding (we ordered takeaway pizzas) and made suggestions for purchases in town. Nice view of the valley and mountains from the porch. We will visit again.
This is my 3rd (and for sure not last) time at The Old Village. The beautiful area and tranquility are just what one needs to get out of the city for a bit. The house is fantastically furnished and my nephew and I were able to have a nice barbecue every night with wood that was provided. The walking paths are also too nice. Special thanks to Sonia who upgraded us to another cottage free of charge before we arrived due to drainage problems in the morning with the cottage we originally booked.
Our expectation was exceeded, food was good, everyone was friendly and helpful. I will definitely come again with group. Thank you very much again.
Beautiful place. Lovely accommodation.
The hosts very graciously moved us to another unit as another party had rented out their hall for a party. We were very thankful for their thoughtfulness.
No complaints. Good location.
Beautiful, comfortable houses with everything you need - including the nicest fireplace for late night visits in the cold. Old Village remains one of our favorite places to visit and is an undeniable part of our annual flower tour!
We found the accommodation to be of high quality. Our house, Rooibos, was neat and spacious, and the fireplace on a cool winter's evening was all too delicious. In the distance we could see Citrusdal's lights. It is very important to me that guesthouses have boiling water for showers and baths, and we were not disappointed! It was also lovely to walk around the farm, and we are thinking of going there with our grandchildren on another occasion. When we smelled the aromas from the kitchen at sunset, we decided to sit down for dinner, and the "oxtail" and pea soup were top notch! Thank you very much Sonia for your hospitality, for your cooking, and for looking so carefully at this precious cultural heritage! We hope to see you again soon! Walk carefully!
Old Village is a great overnight stop. There is everything you need including wood, biscuits, small cookies, milk, ice etc. all inclusive. Meals are also very tasty if preferred.
We came to cycle the Rooibos to Muisbos MTB Race.
Was surprised to find such a fantastic place. Wasn't aware there was a restuarant though.
Was very nice to visit Old Village.
Beautiful cottage! Very friendly hostess and good service in general. Would definitely recommend for an overnight stop.
Well equipped and comfortable cottage. Very nice location and also nice and close to the N7 to explore the Cederberge.
The house exceeded our expectations. Jakaranda is exceptionally well maintained in the antique style and the house as well as the yard were very clean. Sonia is exceptionally competent and friendly. She not only made provisions for braai wood, biscuits, milk and water in the fridge, but also turned on the air conditioning earlier in the day so that we could walk into a wonderfully cool house. We chose Jakaranda, because our 2 children are already grown up and here each had their own room with bathroom. It's definitely very good value for money, and with Sonia's kind service, and the delicious Sunday buffet lunch, we'll definitely be staying there again.
It was lovely for us to stay just outside of town in this beautiful historic house. Sonia was kind enough to turn on the air conditioners early, so we could walk into a lovely cool house in the scorching heat wave. There is a lovely view of the surroundings from the veranda, with everything and more than we needed in the kitchen. The sparkling clean swimming pool also offered great fun.
Location is ideal for driving around for flower viewing at Biedouwvallei or Matjiesfontein farm near Nieuwoudtville, also visit the waterfall and quiver tree forest near Nieuwoudtville. Or you can just relax on Jakaranda's porch and sit and stare over the valley. Restaurant also on site if you don't want to cook yourself.
Close to town & wedding venue.
We really enjoyed our (unfortunately only 1 night) at the premises as is is stunningly located and the nicely equipped. We ware accommodated in the Smitswinkel house - on if not the oldest building on the farm. This house had a very nice yard as well as a ice terrace as well as braai place for us to enjoy, comfy beds and lots of character. Highly recommend when you are looking for something remote to escape the bustle of the Mother City.
We were at home in the Church House of The Old Village. The fireplace with enough wood made the place feel cozy during two very cold evenings. Would perhaps suggest extra carpeting in the kitchen and dining room on the cold cement floor. Extra warm blankets can also help. The place is well equipped and we were also able to go walking and jogging between the fruit orchards. The WiFi and TV worked perfectly.
I would like to recommend braai and more cloths or tea towels for the kitchen.
Sonia helped us extra because we could only be at the accommodation after 22:00. Very good communication and friendly service.
Old, historic farm, well furnished and clean and tidy. Well located near town and other attractions.
Surrounding paddocks such as Kardoesie and Carmien were a big treat.
This is a bit of a gem, conveniently close to Citrusdal, but with also a feeling of being removed and its own part of history. We enjoyed a good meal at the restaurant too.
Lovely stay in an old farm cottage on a beautiful working citrus farm. The cottages have been restored so well and maintain the old feel nicely. Sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee and listening to the birds was great. Perfect place for quiet time and relaxation.
One cannot get better location. Nice view and access to Gray's Pass.
It was clean. Staff friendly and we ate well too. Will stay there again.
Convenient with a nice restaurant on site.
We had a great time. Will definitely see you again.
Loved the history of the place, the furniture very old and suits the place. Even though the bed is old and comfortable, it creaked all night. Feels like the bed has been looking for company. Was disturbing through the night. My child brought an air mattress the 2nd night and I slept on it instead. I like the hostess/gentleman to keep a distance, but not see or meet them at all. A little personal contact is always good.
This was our 2nd year staying at the Old Village. Absolutely love this place and the host Sonia, what an amazing woman. Really enjoyed our stay and the unit was breathtaking. Stayed in the Jacaranda and its well suited for a couple with 3 kids. The rooms are spacious and clean. And well separated.
Will definitely go again and recommend to my friends!
What a fantastic place! We stayed in the 2-bedroom Rooibos cottage. That stoep is the best ever and made for a nice visit with a breathtaking view of the Olifants River and Citrusdal. The fireplace in the spacious living room provided extra cosiness. The rooms were painstakingly neat with crisp white linen and the smoothest ironing I have ever seen in my life. We will stay there again.
It was a lovely stay with beautiful views of the farm and everything there, cattle, guinea fowl etc. Will definitely book there again in the future.
A very interesting, historical place. Makes one curious about prehistory. Clean and tidy, I recommend Old Village as a place to stay.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Old Village. The house is well equipped for socializing and cooking.
We stayed in Rooibos. It is a spacious, nicely furnished unit with quality bedding. There is everything you need. The fireplace helped against the cold! The most beautiful view of the valley and mountains.
Very neat and a calming atmosphere. I couldn't ask for anything more.
It feels as if one has moved back in time for a little while. The whole house is a piece of history, as are the other buildings around. Smitswinkel is very comfortably furnished and is cosy.
See stars.
The Old Village was worth its weight in gold for our time in the Cedar Mountains. We enjoyed it very much.
Great location and very friendly staff, children really enjoyed it and pizza from the books!
We spent the night in Rooibos, a lovely spacious farmhouse with all facilities and a fantastic view. The fireplace was a big winner. Extra wood was also provided. The Sunday afternoon buffet was delicious and plentiful. We would love to come back!
We were unexpectedly upgraded to a larger unit with a beautiful view.
The location of the accommodation is great and adds to the atmosphere we wanted. Calmness, tranquility and the greenery of the nature around you make it an ideal place to visit. It's very clean and has enough space if you want to get away as a group, family or couple. Our highlight of all is the fireplace that gives character to the open plan living area. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who just needs tranquility and a nice getaway.
Had a very pleasant relaxing stay. Cottage is cosy with a lovely big fireplace for the chilly evenings. Helped that the accommodation was pet friendly (veranda enclosed to ensure that our husky could be left some of the time) even though he chose to chase the cows on one occasion. Tired him out for the rest of the weekend so it was an advantage. Pity we could not use the dining facility due to Covid but were able to order take aways which was great. Would definitely go again.
We had a great time cycling on the old pass, Gray's pass. There is a nice pool for when the valley heats up, and cooling in the bedrooms. The premises are spacious for four people. Even an on-site restaurant to spoil mum. Even with slow traffic, it's just under 2 hours from the Cape. Absolutely great place to sleep in Lekke.
House was well equipped.
Guest house very neat although cold in winter, but fireplace was lovely.
We had a great time relaxing as a family. The warm fire in the evenings was a big plus.
Very peaceful and something different with excellent food.
Lots of places to walk and explore.
Comfortable. Clean. Relaxing.
Easily accessible. Nice view, back to times gone by with a modern twist.
We slept over one night. Lovely accommodation with good linen, well equipped kitchen and 2 bathrooms.
Typical old farmhouse in very good condition. The rooms, en-suite bathrooms, kitchen, living area and veranda are nice and big. Very nice view and quiet, with the occasional lorry rumbling down the pass, but nothing that bothered us. Overall a very nice accommodation option.
The staff must pay attention to themselves. Immediately put down. Faucets leak. The roof leaks.
Lovely stay at the Old Village, lots of space and lovely views. Enjoyed the pool and surrounds too. Only thing was it would be great if there was a little more cutlery and crockery in the kitchen.
Beautiful peaceful accommodation with the most delicious meals
We were at Old Village as a family for a long weekend. There is not a single bad thing I can say about our visit! It was truly a lovely break. We stayed in a newly remodeled house with all the modern amenities you could ask for. The children (and the dog) really enjoyed the farm and felt safe letting them move around there. The walk up the old mountain pass that starts on the farm was for sure a highlight of our stay.
Will definitely stay there again.
We stayed in Rooibos Cottage. The house is spacious, neat, full of character and well equipped. Very nice views of the farm and mountains from the wooden deck. Took the old pass out - definitely worth it.
The Old Village is in ‘n pragtige omgewing geleë en baie gerieflik. Die huis is ruim en het alles wat jy nodig het vir ‘n gemaklike kuier. Die plaas het lekker staproetes, ‘n swembad en restaurant. Die personeel was baie vriendelik en aangenaam.
Was wonderful, house very beautiful and nice and cool! We will go again!
The Smitswinkel cottage is very quaint and the interior is special also in the light of its unique history! The linen was crisp & clean(just struggled to get the one air conditioner to heat up in the mainbedroom as it was a bit chilly& an additional blanket per bed could possibly be considered for future guests.. Fortunately the following night the weather was pleasant) We were greeted with the beautiful sunrise settings seen peeping over the mountain framed by of the pictureque stabledoor. The lounge fireplace at night was a great delight, but keep a watch out for that one low kitchenlintol! Overall we had a blessed spacious comfortable& lovely stay !
We got very cold both nights. There were no heaters and only summer bedding. After we complained, there were crochet blankets on the beds but still summer duvets.
Had a great stay, really relaxing mountain surroundings. Sonja, the manageress was excellent, very friendly and helpful. A marvelous time was had so much so, going to do it again sometime soon.
The accommodation was clean and tidy. Could sleep well with rooms that are pitch black. Porch and braai area was nice. Will recommend.
Friendly staff. Very helpful. Enjoyed the time in the beautiful area.
Sonia is friendly, the view is lovely and the house is nice and spacious. Hot water just takes a long time to come out and wastes unnecessary water, but otherwise excellent.
Spotlessly clean. Loads of character and feeling of history. Very well appointed.
A lovely view made up for little coffee cups. A delicious fire in the evening and a walking trail that is good for us who appreciate nature. The nearby hot springs are a plus point. For a break to find yourself the place is ideal. Will visit again!
Stayed in The Smithy which was beautifully restored and furnished. Made to feel very welcome with bowls of citrus, rusks, biscuits and all amenities. Would love to stay there again.
Enjoyed a lovely, peaceful stay.
Beautiful old buildings with comfortable beds and a restaurant within walking distance that served delicious homely food.
The restaurant's food is great, try the Sunday buffet and the lip-smacking ribs, a double portion big enough to satisfy any hunger. Plan to visit at least 10 days, there is so much to do in the area, Citrusdal is beautiful.
Will visit again for sure.
We had a wonderful time at Old Village. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Pool was clean and a stone's throw from the cottage we stayed at. Would recommend it to others.
Beautiful big house, very clean and tidy. Friendly staff, who also sorted out the water problem quickly. Cutlery must be checked for completeness before guests arrive. A bonus is the restaurant within walking distance. Nice stay for 2 days!
Beautiful mountain views, scenic vistas from above the village.
