THE OLD MILL LODGE is the ideal getaway. A leisurely two hours from Cape Town along the world's longest wine route, it nestles in the hills of McGregor, with its whitewashed cottages, vineyards and mountain backdrops. Good food, great wine and country hospitality at its best await you.

Picturesque thatched cottages set in beautiful gardens provide private and tranquil accommodation with spectacular views. Short walks take you through our gardens to the olive groves, secluded swimming pool and fishing dam, as well as to the adjoining nature reserve.

Enjoy spectacular sunsets and sundowners on our spacious veranda overlooking the vineyard. Antiques and candlelight are the setting for a feast of Chef Spencer's gourmet prepared eclectic country cuisine. Wine lovers are treated from our award-winning cellar and single malt collection, and for those wintry nights, a comfy couch, a roaring fire and a glass of port.

This family-run lodge hosts peaceful getaways, romantic evenings, tailormade wedddings and private conferencing. They take pride in unique arrangements for all occasions. Spend lazy days winetasting, bird watching, horse riding and hiking. Explore 4X4 trails, fishing holes and river trips. Take a massage in the therapy room or revel in nothing but birdsong and mountain air.

The Old Mill Lodge has won the Diners' Club Merit Award for six consecutive years and in 2002 won the prestigious Platinum Award for its wine list. It is a 2003 AA Accommodation Award Finalist and is 3-star graded.

Your hosts Spencer and Karen Hill wait to welcome you. Come and visit - you'll never want to leave.
