We were a family of a grandfather and grandmother, and our four children with their families, who were at The Old Village for the weekend. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it!
My husband and I have been to The Old Village twice before, and we thought that the whole setup could work very well for a family festival with small children. It was also like this: each family had its own chalet, and we could visit each other again and again. The chalets were very nicely restored, and well equipped. Our children have great appreciation for the way the houses, some from 1752, are preserved. Sonia who manages everything is excellent! Thank you very much Sonia and your team. We also concluded our Family Festival with a delicious buffet dinner by Sonia and her team on Sunday afternoon.

Everyone was very impressed with the accommodation of beautifully restored cottages, and thoroughly enjoyed the farm atmosphere. Many thanks to Sonia and her team! It was the 3rd time that my husband and I were in Rooibos - this time with our children and grandchildren. We will want to go again and again! And now that we have seen the other houses, we would like to live in them too! We like the history that is so beautifully preserved, as well as the modern facilities that make a visit very comfortable and enjoyable. The free firewood is much appreciated! We were able to end our visit with a delicious buffet dinner on Sunday afternoon. Many, many thanks Sonia and team!

Nostalgic and lovely getaway.
What a wonderful experience to be able to stay at the Old Villiage! Sonia and her team's hospitality and customer service is great! Feel free to also sit down for dinner at the restaurant, their food is delicious and portions are generous. For atmosphere, one could not ask for better. There is not a part of any building that does not tell years of stories and makes you nostalgic. Feel free to read a bit about the history of the special old village and come and relive in your imagination how people lived and worked here and come and listen to the stories that the thick old clay walls and the smooth wooden floors whisper to you. For those looking for comfort, there is enough here and it's done stylishly and sympathetically with the rich history. The kitchen is furnished with all basic necessities, there is wifi, air conditioning, hot water, braai facilities etc. and all of it is precise and super neat and clean. Old Villiage, we will definitely see you again!

Beautiful view from all the windows. House nicely furnished except for the very small TV. There was also no wood for the fireplace. Thought the braai was on the stoep, but you have to go down stairs to the braai. Unfortunately, it rained and we couldn't get some of the braai wood for the fireplace and we couldn't braai as we wanted either. Had to eat a sandwich. Couldn't find the WiFi password anywhere either.

The house is fantastically furnished and my nephew and I were able to have a nice barbecue every night with wood that was provided. The walking paths are also too nice.

It was an experience to become part of a story from a long time ago. Our reception, the accommodation (with a log fire), the surroundings, and dinner were superb. We definitely want to go again and stay longer, and we highly recommend it. Thank you very much Sonia!
We found the accommodation to be of high quality. Our house, Rooibos, was neat and spacious, and the fireplace on a cool winter's evening was all too delicious. In the distance we could see Citrusdal's lights. It is very important to me that guesthouses have boiling water for showers and baths, and we were not disappointed! It was also lovely to walk around the farm, and we are thinking of going there with our grandchildren on another occasion. When we smelled the aromas from the kitchen at sunset, we decided to sit down for dinner, and the "oxtail" and pea soup were top notch! Thank you very much Sonia for your hospitality, for your cooking, and for looking so carefully at this precious cultural heritage! We hope to see you again soon! Walk carefully!

Lovely view of the valley while you barbecue.
The house exceeded our expectations. Jakaranda is exceptionally well maintained in the antique style and the house as well as the yard were very clean. Sonia is exceptionally competent and friendly. She not only made provisions for braai wood, biscuits, milk and water in the fridge, but also turned on the air conditioning earlier in the day so that we could walk into a wonderfully cool house. We chose Jakaranda, because our 2 children are already grown up and here each had their own room with bathroom. It's definitely very good value for money, and with Sonia's kind service, and the delicious Sunday buffet lunch, we'll definitely be staying there again.

Beautiful 'historic' accommodation among citrus groves.
We were at home in the Church House of The Old Village. The fireplace with enough wood made the place feel cozy during two very cold evenings. Would perhaps suggest extra carpeting in the kitchen and dining room on the cold cement floor. Extra warm blankets can also help. The place is well equipped and we were also able to go walking and jogging between the fruit orchards. The WiFi and TV worked perfectly.

Average.
Loved the history of the place, the furniture very old and suits the place. Even though the bed is old and comfortable, it creaked all night. Feels like the bed has been looking for company. Was disturbing through the night. My child brought an air mattress the 2nd night and I slept on it instead. I like the hostess/gentleman to keep a distance, but not see or meet them at all. A little personal contact is always good.

What a fantastic place! We stayed in the 2-bedroom Rooibos cottage. That stoep is the best ever and made for a nice visit with a breathtaking view of the Olifants River and Citrusdal. The fireplace in the spacious living room provided extra cosiness. The rooms were painstakingly neat with crisp white linen and the smoothest ironing I have ever seen in my life. We will stay there again.

We stayed in a newly remodeled house with all the modern amenities you could ask for. The children (and the dog) really enjoyed the farm and felt safe letting them move around there. The walk up the old mountain pass that starts on the farm was for sure a highlight of our stay.
