Description

The Old Mill inn was originally built in 1895 as a flour mill for the district of Barkly East. The building has since been remodeled to create a warm and comfortable inn while retaining the old Victorian atmosphere. Barkly East is situated centrally to some of the best Trout fishing rivers in South Africa. It is also a haven for bird watchers who come to marvel at the breathtaking scenery and abundant and varied bird life. The small towns of Rhodes, Lady Grey and Barkly East are ringed by mountains and the numerous historic and scenic sites of the Maloti route and the Southern Drakensburg. When visiting the area, places of interest, include, Rock Art, Mountain scenery, the unique town of Rhodes, and SA's premier Ski resort Tiffendel. Scenic drives, massive rock formations and beautiful rivers. A trip over Lundeans Nek, and Naude's Nek come highly recommended, and are truly spectacular and stepped in History, of old wars, historic sites, Rock Art and abundant bird life. All the rivers have Trout and Yellow Fish, and fishing permits are avail. During Winter months, Mountain Rebok and Val Rebok, come down to Feed in the Valleys, and watch out for the numerous tortoises crossing our roads. Baboons are also frequent visitors to the meadows. Then of course the Sheep. Weather fully sheared or the numerous Twins you will see in early summer, don’t forget they normally have right of way. Enjoy your stay and please feel free to leave a comment when you visit us, weather staying over, on business, or passing through we will always try make your stay a memorable one. Don’t forget to say high too Mark and his Jack Russell, Bakkies".

Comfortable

Theodoor de Jong, South Africa

09 January 2012

The room was very comfortable and clean. The supper cooked for us by Mark was really good, home-style food which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Old Mill Inn - Simple but pleasant

Colin Kemp, South Africa

29 March 2010

Room clean, lots of space, nice shower, lots of hot water. Mattress soft but did not cause sore back so OK. Large garage for motor bikes. Fine breakfast. Suitable for a re-visit. Mark was friendly and helpful re a place to have supper and bike routes to ride. Excellent little restaurant in the town "F&J Cafe and Restaurant" (?) - looks very plain but the cooking and food quality was a very pleasant surprise indeed! Awesome area for biking in the southern Drakensburg - worth 5 days there

Great

Would have liked to have had DStv. Adrie and Marc are lovely people.

Very comfortable

Wynand Kruger, South Africa

12 January 2009

Really enjoyed the stay although it was only for one night. Mark was very helpful with providing advice on our route from Tiffendell's and in providing secure parking for our motorcycle. We were made to feel very welcome. Our room was very comfortable and the food was good. Will definitely make use of this accommodation if we are in the area again.
