Old Mill Drift Guest Farm

Baie aangenaam en ontspannend.

Baie mooi natuurskoon en ’n rustige omgewing.

Old Mill was a great place to stay for our off-road adventures. We enjoyed the different paths through the mountains with our off-road bikes and will be going back again.

Different off-road paths to take through the mountains for all the off-road adventure people. It was very scenic and beautiful. Enjoyed our stay.

Ons het dit baie geniet.

Daar is lekker stapplek, die akkommodasie is basies maar daar is alles wat mens benodig. Die grondpad (laaste 3 km) is egter 'n uitdaging wanneer dit reën, soos in ons geval gebeur het.

Fantasties.

'n Wonderlike plek vir natuurliefhebbers. Plek was so skoon en netjies. Ciarra is baie gasvry en het ons verblyf soveel lekkerder gemaak.

Dit was asemrowend mooi.

Die plaas huis was baie rustig en die pad soentoe asemrowend mooi. Jammerte vir geraas deur die dag van hoofpad wat aan die Lesotho kant gebou word. Ciarra was vriendelik, en het ons baie goed ontvang. Sy was ten allle tye behulpsaam.

Ons het baie lekker gerus!

Groot wêreld vir avontuur, kan ver stap en honde laat rondhardloop. Netjiese verblyf, vriendelike personeel. Pragtige sterrekyk. Naby aan Clarens en Fouriesburg.

Ongelooflig mooi.

Ek het ongelooflik lekker gebly en daar is fantastiese roetes om te ry as jy van bergfietsry hou.

Moet n 4x4 ry en moet nie n karavaan dasrna toe sleep nie pad is sleg

Paaie tussen dorpe is sleg

Rustige Plaas Verblyf

Ons het onlangs vier rustige nagte by Old Mill Drift deurgebring . Ons verblyf was in n grasdak kliphuise wat skoon. , netjies en gerieflik was . Met die mooiste uitsigte oor die berge en Lesotho die verte . Bonus is die privaat braai area aan agterkant van huisie . Ons is vriendelik deur Ciarra ontvang . Kan die plekkie aanbeveel vir enige een wat wil wegkom van die geraas van die stad en wat die rustigheid op die plaas wil geniet .

Idilliese, rustige, skoon omgewing, perfek vir wegbreek van stad se lawaai.

Vriendelike en behulpsame personeel. Gerieflike en skoon akkommodasie wat in al jou basiese behoeftes voorsien. Ons sal definitief weer van die fasiliteite gebruik maak. Moontlike ekstra padtekens op grondpad na die plaas om aan te dui watter pad is die meer 4x4 voertuig pad vs alternatiewe pad - voorstel.

Heerlike naweek. Baie behulpsame personeel met ons laat aankoms.

Het uitgekamp saam met my 10-jarige seun en ons het elke oomblik geniet. Ideale opset om uit te kamp en die plaas, berge, fietsry, motorfietsry en stap te ervaar. Sal graag weer kom en my hele gesin saambring.

Fantastic tranquillity.

The hosts are incredible, the location is more than we were expecting - what a wonderful experience and relaxing holiday!

Awesome. Lekker rustige plek. Mooi views. Paradys vir jou siel.

Awesome verby, 'n moet.

Fantastic, clean, quiet, value for money.

Best accommodation in Clarens. Clean facilities, beautiful nature, nice hiking trails, safe, friendly people. It was so nice on the farm we didn't even visit Clarens. There is just too much to do. Next time we go for a week.

Baie lekker en gerieflik. Rustige atmosfeer.

Die 3 km grondpad is op plekke bietjie erg en ek sou nie met 'n klein voertuig die pad aandurf nie. Groter voertuie is beter vir die pad.

Die mooiste kampterrein.

Die natuurskoon en uitsigte by Old Mill is absoluut merkwaardig. Ons kon nie genoeg kry van die prentjie mooi ligging nie. Werklik die moeite werd om te besoek.

4x4 Destination, road is difficult to negotiate. Very pleasant hobbit meadow.

Good dog venue, upset did not bring my dog.

Puik diens in 'n pragtige plek.

Een van die rustigste wegbreekplekke ooit met die mooiste berg landskap, diens was puik en baie vriendelik.

Breathtaking rest for the soul!

An absolute gem of a place, clean fresh air, lovely hiking trails and a tranquillity that we never experienced before. Privacy is respected and very friendly caring owners. An absolute must for nature lovers!

It was breathtaking, peaceful and scenic.

It was my first visit to Old Mill Drift and is certainly not my last. It is very peaceful and the perfect getaway from it all. I camped in a tent and the stands are spacious and you don't feel crowded. The staff are friendly and do what they need to do without you feeling that your privacy is being compromised.

Rustigheid in die natuurskoon.

Dis die tweede keer wat ons by Old Mill Drift tuisgaan, die eerste keer wat ons die groter eenheid gevat is wat omhein is vir ons honde. Die plek is fantasties ingerig, die honde het dit gelove om te kan rondhardloop en vars lug te kry. Die pad is bietjie slegter as wat ek onthou, maar nog steeds toeganklik. Amazing pet-friendly plek as jy uit die stad se lawaai wil kom en net afskakel.

Perfect setting.

Unit we stayed in was very rustic. Would be nice to have had a cupboard for clothing and a microwave.

Afgeleë, op jou eie aangewese.

As jy ver van alles en almal wil wegkom is dit baie gepas. Daar is geen selfoonopvangs nie. Kamers is modern gemeubileer, maar daar is ook geen TV of radio nie. Dis 'n werkende plaas so die werkers is heeldag om die chalets besig. Die honde is permanent voor die deur en wil in die chalets op die beddens kom lê. Die bestuur of eienaars is afwesig en met jou aankoms word daar net vir jou gewys waar jy moet gaan. Die water was elke oggend af met die gevolg dat jy moet of wag of 27 km ry om koffie te drink. Jy kan dus ook nie bad of stort nie. Ons ervaring van die omgewing was onvergeetlik, maar ek sal Old Mill Guest Farm net aanbeveel as jy vir die wêreld wil wegkruip. Daar was n addisionele R100 gevra vir die gebruik van hout vir die kaggel.

Dringende onderhoud moet gedoen word op sekere terreine.

Ek is teleurgesteld oor die aktiwiteite wat hulle op die e-pos adverteer. Ek het my naweek daar rondom beplan en uitgesien. Met my aankoms wou ek vir my en my eggenoot die quad bikes bespreek vir die Sondag. Dit kon nie gebeur nie wat almal was stukkend. Ek voel dan moet hulle op die e-pos dit so aandui en dit nie adverteer nie. Hulle sê verder die kampgeriewe het 'n bad by die dames, maar die bad het nie eers krane nie. Warm water 'n groot probleem by die ablusiegeriewe.

Quiet, off-road farm to enjoy nature.

The owners make you feel at home as soon as you enter. Nice long hiking trails and a nice 4x4 trail that we could tackle with a 4x2.

Disappointing.

The road is nearly impossible to drive. Tar road overgrown and gravel road full of ditches. Very difficult for car. Also struggled with a bakkie. Arrive at 21:00. No lights at the chalet. Other bedding and mattresses thrown on lounge chair and table. Geyser tripped during night. Cold shower on a cold morning. Thatched roof. Cobwebs against windows.

Rus vir die siel.

Dit is 'n pragtige plek met die mooiste natuurskoon. Die mense is regtig baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons sal beslis weer gaan.

Baie baie mooi!

Die Old Mill Drift is 'n plek waar jy regtig kan uitrus. Die uitsig is prentjie mooi, binne in die berge. Daar is stap roetes wat jou sonder woorde sal laat. Die plaas is op die grens van Lesotho, en jy het 'n uitsig op die landelike gebied van Lesotho. Kampterrein was lekker groot en skoon. Die badkamers se storte het lekker gewerk sonder probleme. Die 3 km grondpad is 'n bietjie rof vir klein karretjies. Daar is een stuk waar ons bietjie gesukkel het, maar as jy weet hoe om te ry is dit nie te sleg nie. Hulle werk tans aan die pad om dit beter te maak. Wil net weer eens vir Yvonne en haar span dankie sê vir 'n lekker naweek. Ons sal vir seker weer soontoe gaan. P.S Yvonne, dankie vir die aanbeveling om ontbyt by die Courtyard in Clarens te eet, dit was die beste!

Awesome 4x4 offroad and caravaning. Most amazing views off Maluti Mountains and Lesotho.

Beautiful 4x4 off road caravan camping. Wonderful views of Maluti Mountains and Lesotho. Ablutions very neat. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back.

Very nice.

The accommodation was neat and comfortable. It is very nice and quiet on the farm. The 3 km gravel road is not that nice but the quietness is definitely worth it.

Rustig, maar vervelig.

Yskas was nie aangeskakel, kombuis vloer nat toe moes loop soek vir 'n mop. Geen lig in hoofkamer behalwe 'n bedlampie.geen pan om eiers te braai ens. geen warm water nie, alhoewel daar 'n gas geyser was. Paaie is verskriklik. Het bietjie rond geloop toe kry ons leë vertrekke vol hondebollie. Die ceilings val in, stukkende meubels orals. Daar is absoluut niks om daar te doen nie.

We didn't enjoy it.

The worst thing was that we were informed that the road was bad only after we paid. General maintenance is not up to date.

Wonderlike plek!

Dis stil en mooi, en glo my hond het dit meer geniet.

Lovely weekend at a special place far away from everything.

Comfortable chalet with everything one needs. Beautiful view of the valley and mountains for us. Dogs were friendly. Horses well looked after. It was nice to stay on the guest farm and walk around.

Perfekte plek om te ontspan en uit te rus.

Ons het ons tydjie hier baie geniet en sal dit beslis aanbeveel. Dit is heerlik om af te skakel in die pragtige natuurskoon. Chalet 3 is mooi omhein en kon ons hondjies na hartelus buite rondloop en in die sonnetjie uitspan.

Gorgeous views.

Lovely farm on the Lesotho border, pet friendly with awesome views and walking trail.

Absoluut 'n lafenis vir jou siel.

Dit was 'n wonderlike week gewees.Die natuurskoon en uitsig is pragtig. Heerlike staproetes. Yvonne is gasvry en personeel vriendelik. Het die 3 honde baie geniet wat my vergesel het op die staproetes. Sal definitief weer soontoe gaan.

Beautiful, tranquil and definitely worth the money.

We stayed in number 3. According to me the best option with a nice and private entertainment area. We enjoyed it a lot and don't have any negative comments. I saw that the previous guests complained about the 3 km gravel road. I feel that the road is well-maintained and that it is suited for normal cars if the driver has experience of driving on a gravel road. A very low car wouldn't enjoy it but it is doable. The scenery and tranquillity makes it worth while and I highly recommend the guest farm.

Die beste uitsig in Suid-Afrika.

Sonder twyfel is dit uitstekende waarde vir geld. Ons het in Chalet nr 5 gebly, wat als het wat mens sal nodig hê, en die beste uitsig in Suid-Afrika. Ek sal dit vir enige iemand aanbeveel Ons verblyf het wel 2 afkeurpunte gehad: ander gaste se hondjies was nie gedissiplineerd nie en het gedurig vir ons geblaf terwyl hul eienaars sit en lag. Verder, die tweede aand toe ons wou stort, was daar nie water nie. Toe die water later terugkom, het dit halfpad deur my stort weer verdwyn. Ek vermoed 'n paar van die chalets deel 'n geyser en die ander chalet het voorkeerreg gehad. Om tydens die Vrystaat se winter te staan vol seep en papsopnat, en jy kannie afspoel nie, is nie ideaal nie.

Wonderlik, rustig, fantasties!

Wonderlike naweek gewees. Die natuurskoon, die vars lug, die blyplek, alles was puik. Ons sal beslis weer gaan!

Unexpected rural visit to Lesotho.

Even though it is a stunning destination the road to the house was almost not navigable with a normal vehicle. No one warned us about it and 2 of the cars got scratched on the bottom. The place rented out as Lodge 1 doesn't resemble the pics on the website at all. And the building rented out as a "backpackers" basically looks like ruins from the outside and also not like the pics. The interiors of the buildings resembled the pics.

Friendly welcome, beautiful farm.

Lovely farm, particularly good for long walks. Dogs loved it.

Dit was baie lekker! Sal definitief weer soontoe gaan.

Dit is 'n baie rustige plek en ideaal as jy wil wegkom van die gejaag van die wêreld rondom jou. Die personeel op die plaas is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Excellent location. Beautiful landscape.

Needs to open the bar to residents, sort out the dam and prepare some proper designated camp sites with tree cover and better ablutions.

Swak diens.

Plek is baie mooi. Pad daarheen baie sleg. Gewone motor sal swaarkry. Baie swak diens. Wag nou nog vir antwoord op 'n epos. Dit is al 2 weke later. Baie dankie.

Dit was 'n heerlike nat, kaggelvuur Kersfeeswegbreek vir twee Philippolisers.

Old Mill is 'n lieflike wegbreekplek. Die laaste 5 km na die plaas toe is baie rof grond en modder as dit nat is maar ons kon met ons piepklein karretjie oor die klippe kom as jy amper stilstaan-stadig ry. Dis asemrowend mooi as jy eers daar uitkom. Daar is net geen SA-selfoonsein nie. Net roaming. Yvonne en al die perde, rifrughonde en ponies het ons baie welkom laat voel. Sal beslis weer teruggaan soontoe.

Comfortable accommodation in breathtaking and tranquil surroundings.

Here you can do what you want whenever you want and how long you want! Beautiful hiking trails, over mountains and through valleys. There are 3 beautiful dogs to keep an eye on you, and horses that quietly graze in from of your house.

Beautiful, restful. Quiet.

Need more information regarding what to bring. We were caught a bit short.

Pragtige omgewing, netjiese plaas, pad na bestemming uiters sleg, net geskik vir 4x4 voertuig.

Ons moes verblyf kort knip aangesien die pad so sleg was en ons wou graag reis om die omgewing te sien.

Dis waarlik 'n onontdekte juweel met pragtige natuurskoon en stapplekke, dis baie veilig en die eienaar Yvonne is hands-on met gaste.

Die paaie daarnatoe is begaanbaar vir kleiner motors. Die chalets is smaakvol ingerig, en die personeel is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die wendy is ook goed ingerig.

Pragtige plaas omring deur berge.

Net die laaste paar km is grondpad, verkieslik vir motors met groter grondvryhoogte.

Peaceful area with lovely view of the Maluti Mountains.

Challenging 4x4 route over the Maluti Mountains that links to the main route between Clarens and Golden Gate.

Baie aangenaam en rustig.

Baie aangenaam en rustige atmosfeer. Ongelooflike mooi natuurskoon! Akkommodasie nie heeltemal op standaard. Geen handdoeke, verdunde skottelgoedopwasmiddel en huisie glad nie skoongemaak, self die kaggel. Een warmkombers het nie gewerk nie. Kombuis toerusting ook nie goeie toestand.

Very satisfied.

The road to the farm is very bad, but we were warned beforehand by Old Mill Management. Although we were comfortable with 3 small cars, I would recommend a bakkie or something similar. We chose the backpacker option (cheapest) and it exceeded our expectations. The spot doen't look neat from the outside, but it was very large and clean on the inside and there was more than enough dishes, a fridge, a kettle and a gas stove. We went during the winter season and the water had frozen in the pipes, which meant that there was no water in the morning. There was water every night, I would recommend a summer getaway. We will definitely return to explore the trails on the farm as it didn't fit in our schedule at the time. I strongly recommend Old Mill Drift and we hope to return before the end of the year.

Wonderful Wendy House.

We were the first two guests to stay in the Wendy, and it was fantastic! Exactly what you need when you are too lazy to set up your tent. The electric blankets really made a difference against the cold and I strongly recommend them. The ablution facilities are basic, but has all of the necessities, my only recommendation would be a shower head. There is only one small stream of water. Scenic environment and the friendly dogs who come to greet you each morning put a smile on your face. I would suggest you warn people about the state of the dirt road this time of year when they make a reservation. The website just indicates that it in a bad condition sometimes and we had a lot of trouble when we got a hole in the oil tank. It was great sports finding a mechanic on a holiday in Clarens! Except for that, we will definitely go again!

Picture perfect soulfood.

The unit was well equipped. The view and surroundings were even better than the photos. It was so quiet and peaceful we could recharge our batteries! Will definitely be back! Yvonne was really friendly and helpful.

The area is picturesque.

The area truly is picturesque and the owners and staff are very helpful and friendly. The camping facilities are very primitive but the nature makes up for it. There is no cellphone reception or internet, which assures that you can completely shut down and relax. I would recommend that the bathrooms get renovated and a mirror gets provided please. Thank you very much for the great stay, we enjoyed it very much.

Beautiful farm.

We really love visiting Old Mill Drift Guest Farm. It's such a beautiful farm with loads of things to do. There's some awesome hiking trails and if you're into mountain biking, do take your bikes with when you visit the farm. We really enjoy being out in nature and camping at Old Mill Drift really gives you the opportunity to unwind while you soak up the beautiful scenery around you. There is no cellphone reception though, but we never mind that, because we go there to get away from the city buzz so for us being disconnected from the outside world is an added bonus. The only complaint we have is that the family at the camping stand next to us were really noisy - they played loud music every single night which was really a shame as it felt like we lived next to a club and not out on a farm in the country side. This really spoiled the whole trip for us and we didn't feel rested and rejuvenated when we left the farm like we normally do. One camping stand really spoiled the experience for all the other campers and no one really felt comfortable complaining to the the owner of the farm as she was with that specific family every night and didn't seem to mind the music. We'll definitely visit again as we really love going there, it would just be nice if some rules could be set in place regarding noise and loud music at night as it really spoils the whole experience of being out in nature. Will still highly recommend the farm to any nature lovers!

It was idyllic and relaxing.

Highly recommended to anyone looking for perspective or a new lease on life. It was amazing.
