    The room had a cosy cottage feel, making it feel like a home away from home. I loved the direct access from the garden, it made me feel connected to nature. Having an open fireplace in the room was a great touch, perfect for chilly evenings.

    Personally, I wasn't a fan of the shared patio area in the twin bedded room.

    The value for money at this place was amazing! The room was clean and stylish, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was beautiful and the gardens were lovely.

    The morning meal could have been improved by having more outside seating options to enjoy an evening drink.

    Excellent service and beautiful rustic cottages created a truly memorable stay. The highlight was definitely the delicious breakfast and the mouthwatering dinner menu with local specialties like Springbuck pie and ostrich fillet. They also had a great selection of local wines and imported beers. Our room and bathroom were clean and stylish, adding to the overall enjoyment of our stay. Despite a few small drawbacks like the lack of fans or air conditioning and a set menu at the restaurant, we still had a wonderful time at Old Mill Guest House. I highly recommend this hotel.

    Our stay at the Old Mill was worth every penny. The room was cozy and comfortable, with a lovely fireplace adding to the ambiance. The location was perfect, surrounded by beautiful gardens and offering a peaceful atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond, giving us a warm welcome and ensuring we felt right at home. Highly recommend a stopover here!

    The breakfast could've been even better with a wider variety of options.

    Located at the foot of the Langeberg Mountain range, this cozy cottage-styled room with a double bed and ensuite shower was like a peaceful oasis. The fluffy towels made me feel like I was wrapped in a cloud, ensuring a restful night at the Old Mill Guest House. Plus, the scenic routes winding through rural farmlands added an extra touch of tranquility.

    Noise from rain on the tin roof and passing trucks was slightly disturbing at night.

    Staying at this lovely inn has been a delight for us as a group of friends. We were amazed by the beautiful garden and stunning view from our rooms. the fresh bed linen was irresistible; we enjoyed a great night's sleep in the spacious and newly renovated rooms with lovely big bathrooms. the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and provided a complimentary water in the room.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this place and I must say, the location was absolutely amazing. Situated right in the heart of the vineyards, it provided a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. The well-kept garden was a delight to explore, and I enjoyed sitting out there until late in the night. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff catering to my every need. The room amenities, such as the tea and coffee facilities and the sitting area, added to the comfort of my stay. The free Wi-Fi in the rooms was a great convenience, allowing me to stay connected during my visit.

    I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay.

    The room at Old Mill Guest House was so cozy and had a cottage vibe that instantly made me feel at home. I loved the double bed and ensuite shower room, it was just perfect for a beach getaway. The private patio with an open fireplace was a nice touch, it made my evenings so relaxing.

    Personally, I didn't use the DSTV in the room, but I can see how others might enjoy it.

    Staying in this charming, historical property was a delightful experience. The garden was well-maintained, providing a calm location for reading and contemplating. the breakfast was impeccable and included a full continental offering, which was a perfect start to the day. The location was perfect for getting some work done, with plenty of peace and quiet to really focus.

    The bathroom facilities were a bit basic, with an old-fashioned shower and small sink. the furniture in the bedroom was quite outdated, and some may find it unappealing.

    The breakfast was fantastic with delicious options to choose from. the location was surrounded by lovely scenery and it was very peaceful in the evening. the room was clean and spacious with charming decorations.

    There was no air conditioning or fans in the room and it was uncomfortably hot. the restaurant only had set menus which were quite expensive.
