DON DON RIVER MILL LODGE REVIEWS (71 %) Cosy by Cathy Attenborough, South Africa 26 September 2011 Nice and cosy, and a very interesting historical sight. Using the 'nommer asseblief' wind-up telephone was very cool. My kids never knew that kind of phone existed. It would have been nice if we were told that the 16 km out of hobhouse is dirt road. Also that everything, including the petrol station, closes at 1 pm on Saturdays and that nothing is open on Sundays. Make sure your car has enough petrol and take your own food! Was a bit dissapointed that the river that flows below the mill has silted up. But James, the guide, was fantastic with his knowledge of how the mill used to work. He also walked us through the forest to the banks of the Caledon River which was spectacular in the morning light. Well worth the drive. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Great by Zandile Mtetwa, South Africa 28 November 2011 It was worth the 5.5-hour drive. Thanks for the pap each morning that awaited us, and the lovely atmosphere. Rising at five as per normal was not an option - the snooze was needed until eight at least. Heaven on earth. Namaste! The lovely OLD MILL HOUSE by Carol Brebner 06 April 2017 Hob House was quiet, remote, well equipped, right on the water, an easy walk to Lesotho over the suspension bridge and just reeks of history. We were treated to a tour of the old mill by Sidney who inspired us with his positive attitude and stories of his family involvement at the mill (too much to remember all of it) The road out to Ladybrand through cultivated farmlands was a fitting end to a lovely nights rest. Delightful spot; excellent service by Russell Opland 26 December 2017 Sidney was so incredibly accommodating when our departure from Joburg was delayed several hours by car trouble. He came back late to meet us and settlemus in to the Miller's hut, where we were welcomed by a fire, KitKats on the towels on the bed, and piles of blankets and duvets (obviously needed in the cooler months). The hut was perfect for two, with a microwave, electric frying pan, kettle (tea and I stand coffee provided). The kitchenette is short on implements, but I'm sure they're available on request. There are some lovely walks down to the Caledon River over a little swinging bridge. Highly recommended! Off the grid by Eric Eberlein 06 July 2018 We got there late on Friday evening and left again on Monday afternoon, and for the whole time there we saw no-one else...PERFECT! We built puzzles, read books, walked along the river, ate too much...again, PERFECT!
The Old Shop is well-appointed, with great beds and a lovely fire place - we visited in mid-winter (the coldest for many years...) and thus we kept the fire burning from early morning till late at night.
The lack of cell signal (from just outside Hobhouse) meant three days of no beeps for texts or e-mails, which we also appreciated - there's a difference between simply switching off your phone and NOT being able to receive messages...bliss!
If a quiet weekend off the grid (literally) is what you need, Don Don's the place. DON DON RIVER MILL LODGE LOCATION
