Truly 'child and animal friendly'.
The environment is peaceful and relaxing. One of the few guesthouses that is truly 'child and animal friendly'. Our children really enjoyed playing outside (a welcome break from technology) and the guest house's dogs. We look forward to our next visit to Old Tol.

We stayed over the weekend on our honeymoon, we are very happy with the premises, it was clean, safe and all the pets were friendly. We rode the canoes and had a lovely rest in the hot tub.

It was absolutely fantastic.
The reception was good even though the owner was not there, the receptionists welcomed us very well and made us feel at home. The only disappointment was that we could not order the barbecue or breakfast packages because the owner/management was not there. The environment is very beautiful with the river there. I would also just like to say that the management should take care to keep the site clean of the animals' manure, otherwise I will definitely book there again in the future to stay in Nr. 2 to be able to stay.

Very beautiful and wonderful stay there.
Felt at home immediately. Reception was very good. Barbecues and wood were offered at a very good price and it was nice to sit on the veranda and drink coffee and wait for the fire to burn out. Waking up the next morning to the sound of water flowing over the rocks and a rooster crowing early in the morning was wonderful. Thank you very much, enjoyed it very much.

Ideal place to relax quietly and experience some of the beautiful nature.
Great time and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Accommodation clean and tidy with all the basic necessities for your weekend visit. The nature in the area is beautiful and truly a place to charge your battery. Small bit of noise experienced in the afternoon due to the maintenance on the Chalets - disturbing rest.

Great place to relax and the kids really enjoyed it too.
The pictures on the web do not deceive you - it really is as nice and beautiful as it looks! There is also so much for the children to do and it's safe and quiet and the aircon is a bonus. We are very happy with our choice of accommodation and will definitely stay there again if we go in that direction. Next time I'll take a nice book to read in the hammocks!

Goeie dag Michael
Soos gister bespreek met jou telefonies was julle bewus van die water probleem as gevolg van die vloed wat ons die vorige dag gehad het.
Die water was wel bruin en vuil, maar dit is iets wat buite ons beheer was en dit was aan julle genoem met inboek dat ons tans met die probleem sit en die hele Oudtshoorn en gedeeltes daarmee geaffekteer word. Lees gerus die berig in die Oudtshoorn Courant - http://www.oudtshoorncourant.com/news/News/General/186812/Oudtshoorn-water-update.
Ons water is tans meer gestabiliseer en nie meer so vuil nie, maar die Munisipaliteit en Water Wese is tans besig om na opsies te kyk indien so iets ooit weer sou gebeur.
Ek is bly julle kon darem die positief sien van ons skoon netjiese eenhede, alles wat binne ons beheer is streef ons om vir ons gaste net die beste te gee, maar die water was nou een van die dinge wat ons ongelukkig nie iets aan kon doen nie.
Ons hoop om julle weer in die toekoms te verwelkom,
Vriendelike groete
Mariska

Booked for three nights but could only stay two nights.
It is the most beautiful place, right next to a river. The day we checked in, the lady was very friendly, but she just unlocked the door for us and then walked away. Didn't even come in to check if everything was working. That night was probably the coldest night of my life. The cabin was not insulated at all. The vent holes were completely open, only a piece of mesh remained. The front door did not seal completely. I could squeeze my thumb between the top and bottom door so big was the gap. My poor child was sleeping right in front of this door. The heater didn't work either. The next morning my husband and I were up early to take a nice hot shower so we could "defrost". The geyser didn't work and we both had to settle for a cold shower. We reported all this to the manager and that night the heater which only needed batteries was fine. The shower's hot water was also fine and they even bought an electric blanket for the night's cold. At least we could sleep better that night. Unfortunately, they couldn't do much about the cold wind that blew through the wooden beams. My husband and I then decided to go home rather than stay another night in such a cold place. I just want to mention that at check-out they mentioned to us that the place was going to be isolated. I really hope so because I think it's a really cool place and would really recommend it to anyone who wants to go in the summer. I think it would be a lovely destination, so peaceful by the river.

Cute accommodation for family with small children.
The houses are cute, unfortunately just not completely clean. However, they were more than willing to move us to another cottage. Very peaceful and the river and gardens are beautiful. More comfortable seating on the porch will make a big difference. The hard wooden benches do not allow you to relax. Friendly reception. Not a place for romantic getaways, but cute for a family with kids.
