Wow, what a find. This beautiful B & B tucked away in the vine-filled valley of the Olifants river in Northern Cape was perfect. Fantastic bedrooms which any 5 star hotel would be proud of. The breakfast on the upper terrace overlooking the wonderful green valley having the best scrambled eggs ever was spectacular. Hilsa was a wonderful host and... More

What an amazing find! I really enjoyed my romantic getaway! The grande luxury rooms are really just 1st class! Most of our time spent next to the pool but was just as happy to retreat to our beautiful room! Thank you Hilsa & Hanika for and amazing stay with excellent food and wine.... WE WILL BE BACK

The manager and staff was very friendly and willing to help, it felt like I arrived as a stranger and left as a friend. Beautiful view and rooms, loved the character and history of the main building. Great home cooked food! Hope to be seeing you again soon.

Had a wonderful stay in a beautifully decorated room with a comfortable bed. The friendly staff took care of all our needs and made sure that we had an unforgettable experience. (Must have picked up a kilo or two after all the tasty meals!)Definitely worth visiting!

On a recent trip from Cape Town to Upington we booked an over night stay at Melkboomsdrift with the owner Hilsa. We luckily started our trip early as we had loads of day light left to discover this amazing property! My boyfriend immediately put his kayak in the river to explore while I chose to chill by the pool with... More

we were very warmly greeted on our arrival by the owner and also the manager. the property is an old building and the furniture, in our room at least, a mixture of old and very modern. We were in the main house and had a large bedroom, dressing room and bathroom. whilst the bathroom could do with a bit of... More

After reading good reviews on this guest house we were so looking forward to our stay .We were very disappointed in the rooms as the guest house is 4 star and the rooms we were given were definitely NOT of a good standard..Our dinner was served in a room with very little character and we would not stay there again.

If you're looking for peace, tranquility and true country hospitality then Melkboomsdrift Lodge is the place to be. We were fortunate enough to be part of a promotional project which took us to Melkboomsdrift for 3 days and were treated like royalty. The country cuisine was superb as was the outstanding accommodation. The guest house is truly unique in that... More

stay was great! lovely people at the lodge - staff and owner. real good food and wine. everything as in brochure and on website. even played golf and enjoyed riding motorcycle. very nice if you are looking for a place to just relax in fresh air and you can even go to the beach around the corner at Strandfontein. awesome!
