Not our first stay at Old Mac Daddy - My wife and I have previously "run away" from our home in Grabouw to have a romantic break away at Daddy's Hide Away, a mid week beak in Birdie, the Airstream and for a birthday break away in December at Daddys Den. We Loved all three and this year we will be back again for some relaxation and chill time As always, the staff feels like family, our accommodation was clean and we had everything that we needed. Breakfast (included in the booking) was simply lovely and the view from Daddy's Den in the day and evening is spectacular! Even on a scorching Overberg day, our tented campsite felt cool For us, OMD is home away from home we love you guys!

Our only not so nice experience was the activities on offer - we bought free passes for us and the kids. Most of the activities were unmanned (archery) or not available (zorbing). We didn't really feel that we got what we paid for, next time I would rather just pay for something that I have booked in advance, than go for an all access pass.

The staff are very friendly and accomodative. ALL the staff are always smiling and willing to assist and this was on Christmas day. The trailers were clean and I loved the coffee machine. The kids enjoyed the activities e.g. archery, kayaking, table tennis, etc. and everything was in walking distance. We loved the nature and scenery and the hot tub.Very safe and the kids could go to the restaurant on their own. We stayed in Metalmorphosis and is one of the furthest trailers and I won't recommend this to people with any knee or ankle injuries or for the elderly. Thank you to the receptionist that allowed us to checkin early and was really such a gem to all the kitchen staff, the guy who assisted with the hot tub to the porter who helped us with our luggage. The staff made our stay one of many more to come.

The beds are hard and the main pool is cold so we couldn't swim due to the weather being cloudy, windy and cold. The hot tub was lukewarm and the smoke was blowing everywhere but we enjoyed the experience nonetheless.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, it was 4 days of bliss and relaxation! The children were free to roam and make friends in a very open environment with so many things to keep them busy. The views from the balconies were beautiful and made you feel like you were one with nature. The 'beach' was a hit, from fishing to kayaking, to lazing in the sun with a cocktail. Every item we ordered from the menu at the restaurant was superb. Quad biking in the mountains was another great experience.

The beds in the airstreams were not that comfortable.

The facilities are great for a family. The barn & dining is top notch. The accommodation was lovely. Staff are super friendly & helpful at all times It's absolutely calming & peaceful, with no tvs but wifi if needed.

Being the heart of winter it was very cold, & the airstreamer accommodation doesn't have a fireplace with heated aircon in streamer only. The front section where the additional beds are gets freezing with no extra thick blankets.

The hotel staff were very friendly and the views are great. Some of the trailers have a better configuration than others but they were flexible and supported us in choosing ones that we liked (view and decor). Enjoyed our stay here - a great location for children as there are lots of activities.

The breakfast could have included some healthier options. Some fresh fruits and variety would have been preferred.

Beautiful location in the mountains surrounded by apple orchards. Very basic but tasteful accommodation with magnificent views. All the food was decent but don't expect gourmet or anything amazing. Overall we really loved this place and would definately go again.

Wifi is terrible and there is no cell phone reception which is good if you want kids off their screens but bad for everything else.

The breakfast was excellent and the tented camp was excellent. We loved the restaurant and the play area for the kids, especially the service of keeping the kids busy when we had our meals.

The cost of things - the price for the tented camp and units in general are very expensive. The price for some of the activities are just not justified.

Staff was amazing... Myself and my partner, initially booked at Elgin River Lodge. When they cancelled we were very sad but now we're grateful it happen. Old daddy gave us a VIP treatment... A presidential one to be exact.

The fact that we couldn't quad bike and the music was played from YouTube with ads in between... (sometimes the guest would play they're own music, catering to what they like and not thinking of other guests... I suggest getting a Dj for happy hour at the beach

Beautiful surroundings…with a lovely glamping concept. Dam activities fun. Food was tasty. Immediately offers solutions if there’s any issues.

The caravans are looking a little tired…wallpaper starting to peal…maintenance needing attention. restaurant staff a little slow on the service. not great to not inform us that we would need to shift rooms halfway through our stay…but enjoyed the bigger caravan. Would be great to have some entertainment for adults and kids.

Beautiful location

The white lights in the in the cabin extension of the trailer was a bit clinical. All the bulbs should be warm white. The main entry door on the cabin of Give Bees a Chance from the porch is sticking and difficult to operate the lock. the glass hallway between the cabin expansions and the door or the trailer should have curtains/blinds for more privacy - particularly at night. The coffee machine water tank is very dirty.
