A fabulous stay with magnificent views.

The communal kitchen had everything we needed, the bathrooms and showers were clean and there was hot water. The view from our veranda was magnificent. A great space for our group of 11 and a little doggie.

No complaints.

Enjoyed the stay. Beautiful views and hiking trails.

5.0

Hiking trails. Virw.

Not enough plates, side plates, etc. cooking utensil insufficient (eg. No grater) no pans to use in the oven or to place cooked meat in. No place to store vlothing (definitely requires place to hang clothes, there is ample space for a rack in the space between the bedroom and bathroom). We had to ask them to service (clean) the braai and firepit. Second day, no one came to service again. We just left it and decided not to use it any longer.

We had a wonderful stay at Old Mill Drift in the Forest unit. The unit was comfortable, cozy, and the perfect place to relax. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and offered a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Our hosts were friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. A truly lovely getaway — we would definitely recommend Old Mill Drift!
