Old House Lodge

Our stay at Old House Lodge was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were excellent, well-furnished, and equipped with air conditioning, which was a much-appreciated relief from the heat. The bed is incredibly comfortable! I wish I could have taken it with me. We had a mini fridge and other niceties - lovely set up! Unfortunately, the experience went downhill when we experienced a power outage that occurred about an hour after our arrival. With windows that don’t open, sleeping became quite uncomfortable, leaving us exhausted for our trip to Cape Town the following morning. Furthermore, the house itself is not soundproof, and we were woken up at 3 a.m. by other guests leaving (you can hear everyone else's movements), which disrupted our rest further. We were disappointed to learn about the frequent power outages only after checking in, through a notice at reception. This was something we wish we had been informed about beforehand. The pool was a definite highlight of the property, providing a great way to cool off in the heat. I'd recommend not going too far from the Lodge as the area is not safe. Overall, while there were some enjoyable aspects, the lack of preparation for power outages and noise disturbances significantly impacted our stay.

The property is situated very close to most amenities - within a walking distance. It is very serene and welcoming, with an amazing, very friendly staff. I had an opportunity to be checked in, welcomed and checked out by Elisa. The lady is just too sweet, very welcoming. The only challenge was the loadshedding that happened a few hours after we checked in. When we left the next day after 9am and power was not yet restored. So maybe the property can have a small generator for lights during such unfortunate incidents that are beyond their control. This can help avoid complete darkness. Otherwise the property is great. Thanks for being such great hosts.

This was truly a beautiful place to stay at! The personnel were so kind and accommodating even to extra requests. The rooms are beautiful and big with everything you need! Best night's sleep on those comfortable beds! The food was also delicious! Will definitely recommend this lovely home away from home!

I was returning back from my daisy trip and left Langebaan a little late. my usual place in Laingsburg was fully booked and had to push on to Beaufort West. I found this little place and was pleasantly surprised, clean and comfortable.

The staff at Old House are professional, friendly, helpful and lovely to deal with. They go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that your stay is as comfortable as possible.

Excellent service all the way through. Dinner was also delicious. Our vehicles, packed for a long camping trip were safe behind locked gates.
