Old Mac Daddy had a farm, and boy oh boy was it beautiful! With a man-made beach area to lounge beside as you’re sipping cocktails, to the tempting aromas drifting out to the pool from Brinny Breeze Restaurant, there’s something at this unique, luxury trailer park for everyone to enjoy.

This photoblog takes you into the heart of this incredible place which is found just outside of Cape Town, in the heart of Villiersdorp, Elgin!

A new feature that’s a hit this summer is the brand new ‘beach’ built alongside a dam. With a beautiful view and cocktail in hand as children build sandcastles on the soft beige sand, you’ll be hard pressed to miss any kind of waves or the scent of the sea when cool breezes blow the scent of pine leaves to you.

Brinny Breeze restaurant, set up in the style of an old apple barn, is a place where you can spend many a happy hour chatting on one of the cosy couches, or dining on the sumptious cuisine in the restaurant side. Their pizza oven is a hit in winter – not only for the warm ambiance it provides, but for the perfectly crispy pizzas it serves. Order a focaccia bread as a starter next time you’re there – trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

If you come to Old Mac Daddy with children, the little ones can safely enjoy the outdoors at the playground, or if the weather turns, then they can head indoors next to reception and resume their games at the indoor playroom.
