Don Don River Mill Lodge is approximately 16 km form Hobhouse, built from Sandstone, and situated on the banks of the Caledon River overlooking the Lesotho mountains.

The mill was built in c1865 and houses the original milling equipment . The two self-catering stone units overlook a dense Poplar grove, with the Caledon River flowing only meters away.

Wake up to the sound of the flowing river and canal, the leaves in the Poplar grove rustling in the wind and the sound of the birds - nature at its best.

Cosy by

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

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!
