Old Mill Drift Guest Farm

The surrounding of the farm is excellent

The road in the farm was a bit difficult to traverse in our small car, It is better suited for SUVs or a bit of a bigger car.

Friendly and accommodating staff. Such comfortable beds. Views that will blow your mind. A wonderful atmosphere. Great hiking trails that are well marked. We stayed in the Earth house (11 sleeper) and the size was great. We went for a 30th birthday, and although this is definitely not a party destination, they accommodated us when we got a little noisy and let us know when to keep it down while still understanding that we were our celebrating. We brought a small dog who can be a bit scared, but the other dogs on the property were so gentle and good natured that our puppy wanted to stay. All staff on the property were more than happy to answer any questions we had. They also delivered wood and ice that we could pay for at the end of our stay. It is a visit you won't forget and will want to go back to.

The 3km dirt road to get to the property can be a bit challenging. We had one Suzuki Swift and one VW Polo but they both made it in mostly dry weather. Just be aware that in worse weather it wouldn't be easy for most cars. They do offer a shuttle service.

Nothing.

Old Mill Farm outside Clarens, OFS. We arrived after 7pm, being winter it was very dark. Being over 70 yrs old we appreciated Peace (secutity guard we suppose) showing us the way to our chalet with his torch. We were allocated the 'Guard House' behind the stables. As Peace opened the entrance door, our surprise and disgust at what we walked into was made very clear!! My husband has a back problem - the bed was VERY hard, the mattress lumpy and really uncomfortable. The broken front door, see foto, the potential fire hazard db board and plugs, see photo, was shocking after the beautiful photos shown on Bookings.com!! Peace offered a different chalet after we expressed our alarm and disgust. So why put us up in this shabby place in the first place??? I spoke to a man named Derek, he was most apologetic without a solution!!! - he has probably never been inside "Guard House"!! The grounds had long grass/weeds whatever it was, the rickety garden gate entrance to "Guard House" was the 1st evidence of what the inside of the chalet would be like!! After spending a restless night we decided to leave. How can Booking.com or the owner of the farm expect us to pay R2106 for 2 nights in this rubbish!! Why is this place even advertised!!! False advertising at its best. NOTHING like the photos on Booking.com

The nature is breathtaking and outside kept clean and neat

The bed needs to be replaced and the utensils needs updated and rugs was dirty no bread, steak knifes, no measure jug and egg beater/ whisk.

Stunning setting, some nice walks and the kids enjoyed the horses.

House is in need of maintenance. Most of the doors don't close properly and the privets are starting to obscure the view. Beds were not comfortable.
