About Old Mill Country Lodge

Restaurant & Seasonal Working Ostrich Farm

Nestled at the foothills of the Swartberg Mountains in Schoemanshoek, we’re just 14 km along the road from Oudtshoorn towards the world-renowned Cango Caves.

Our farm is a working ostrich farm during the season, where you can witness the farming of ostrich chicks and fully grown ostriches. We offer a wide range of activities, making it a perfect destination for families.

There’s plenty for the children too, with fun activities in Oudtshoorn and the surrounding Garden Route and Klein Karoo areas, just a stone’s throw from Mossel Bay, Hartenbos, George, and Knysna. Let the little ones enjoy watching ostrich chicks in season, as well as bunnies and ponies for a truly memorable experience.
