This stay was a real highlight, the hosts Mike and Renee (and their 4 legged friends) were so friendly and accommodating. We wish we'd have stayed longer than 1 night. They gave us excellent hiking and birdwatching recommendations, turned around some laundry, and we paid for dinner, which was a real highlight. Served in the main house, Renee cooked us a delicious lamb curry, dessert and a bottle of locally sourced wine. Beeakfast was equally delicious and very plentiful. We really enjoyed our time here. The room was furnished in a rustic comfortable style and the beds were exceptionally comfortable. The location is great for exploring the local areas' beautiful surroundings.

On our way from Cape Town to the wonderful Pure Nature Lodge in Paterson we stopped twice at The Old Trading Post for one night stop-over. We really enjoyed it and on the way back to Cape Town it felt already like coming home :-) And the pizza dinner was really outstanding - really the best pizza we ever had!!!

Beautiful established garden, amazing bird life, charming, peaceful and tranquil. Mike and Renee are very accommodating. I would recommend the breakfast. Nice walks in the close proximity Mike does amazing boat rides too. There are 5 dogs on the premises. Accommodation is animal friendly.

Thank you to the lovely people that run this lodge. Very amusing bush camps and tree-top rooms. I highly recommend a stay here if you are visiting Wilderness. They offer different types of accommodation and a variety of activities organised by the lodge and available in the area.

A great find halfway between Cape Town and Kenton that is dog friendly. Very welcoming of our 3 dogs. Mike and Rene great hosts. Mike offer boat trips on the Touws river which is a bonus. Room comfortable and breakfast a delight
