The venue is picturesque but the establishment did not live up to my expectation. The staff at reception were distracted and not too helpful. The room is decent,downside- I had a door opening into the service area and there was a lot of dust. The pool requires some attention.Not worth the money spent.

My wife and I spent 3 nights in the Luxury room and what a pleasure it was! The room was clean, everything was taken care of and the hospitality is fantastic! We enjoyed the swimming pool a lot and couldn't get too much of nature! The restaurant is superb!!! We had Eland, Ostrich, Kudu & even Wild Boar kebabs! Each... More

In the heart of the Swartberg Mountains, this is the perfect get away spot. Close to the Cango Caves, Rus en Vrede waterfall, Oudtshoorn Center, +/- 50km from Calitzdorp lots to do in the area, resturant on premisis. This Guest farm is run by indiviuals that all seem to be one big family (not blood related) but they work towards... More

We made an unplanned stop at 'de Oude Meul' because our true destination was actually at Uniondale. Our friends highly recommended de Oude Meul and thank goodness we listened. The staff was available after hours which was a positive 1st impression for me because they actually closes at night. The rooms were in good clean condition. Bathrooms were in excellent... More

De Oude Meul in the heart of the Little Karoo is a gem to be discovered, in the Oudtshoorn district, only a couple of kilometers from the natural wonder known as the Cango Caves. The level of service at this establishment is not found / bettered easily. The owners (the Spies family) also manage the resort, and are hands-on, from... More

Room clean and functional, breakfasts excellent-a wide selection for all tastes. One breakfast kindly cooked on request. Two wonderful meals at the restaurant on site- many locals enjoying food and... More

We stayed in room 1 & 2 next to the restaurant with our 2 kids. The rooms were pretty basic and lack any charm - lots of tiles and cheap furnishings. The entrance could be mistaken for a prison. But in fairness they were clean and did have an aircon which is critical in this area. Both rooms open onto... More

I feel torn... I'm struggling to give this property 2 stars.... On the one hand, the location and grounds were great. Our boys loved seeing the ostriches and dogs on the property... The restaurant is very nice and rustic--decent food too. The breakfast area and atmosphere were very nice with classical music playing... The owner, a friendly gentleman, was making... More
