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 1865 and houses the original milling equipment which is still in working condition. The two self-catering stone huts overlook a dense Poplar grove and the Lesotho mountains, 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!


The lovely OLD MILL HOUSE by

Hob House was quiet, remote, well equipped, right on the water, an easy walk to Lesotho over the suspension bridge and just reeks of history. We were treated to a tour of the old mill by Sidney who inspired us with his positive attitude and stories of his family involvement at the mill (too much to remember all of it) The road out to Ladybrand through cultivated farmlands was a fitting end to a lovely nights rest.


Delightful spot; excellent service by

Sidney was so incredibly accommodating when our departure from Joburg was delayed several hours by car trouble. He came back late to meet us and settlemus in to the Miller's hut, where we were welcomed by a fire, KitKats on the towels on the bed, and piles of blankets and duvets (obviously needed in the cooler months). The hut was perfect for two, with a microwave, electric frying pan, kettle (tea and I stand coffee provided). The kitchenette is short on implements, but I'm sure they're available on request. There are some lovely walks down to the Caledon River over a little swinging bridge. Highly recommended!


Off the grid by

We got there late on Friday evening and left again on Monday afternoon, and for the whole time there we saw no-one else...PERFECT! We built puzzles, read books, walked along the river, ate too much...again, PERFECT! The Old Shop is well-appointed, with great beds and a lovely fire place - we visited in mid-winter (the coldest for many years...) and thus we kept the fire burning from early morning till late at night. The lack of cell signal (from just outside Hobhouse) meant three days of no beeps for texts or e-mails, which we also appreciated - there's a difference between simply switching off your phone and NOT being able to receive messages...bliss! If a quiet weekend off the grid (literally) is what you need, Don Don's the place.
