Oban Farm Stay

Family on our way to Natal for December holidays. We booked 3 rooms. Only problem was we got wifi pins but still didnt help. No cellphone signal the whole time. We had to check in on a daily basis with the person taking care of our pets at home and could not even text or call.

I received a very warm welcome, after Tia waited for me to arrive, after hold-ups on the road. It was most gratifying to finally arrive there in the dark. The breakfast in the morning was a delight, and what a friendly chef. The warmth & love expressed to guests is what urges folk to return.

When visiting try putting yourself in the shoes of men, women and children who have lived there many, many decades ago. With their stories, happy and sad! Located off the N3 at Van Reenen, Oban Guest Farm is hidden in a small valley with an amazing landscape. It is easy to find and the hosts try to keep it as authentic as possible. The price is the best in the area for this kind of rustic experience, including options of self catering, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Oban Offers you the choice of how you want to spend your money while you're visiting. The facilities reflect the kind of living of a specific era in this area, with amenities to ensure a comfortable stay (though out of your comfort zone and away from the hustle and bustle of city life). And free WiFi ensure that you're still in touch with... I was even able to find a balance between enjoying my stay and doing a little bit of work. The host, Theo and her team is warm, hospitable and responsive to the needs of guests. Always ready to assist or with interesting information. Food is delicious! Thanks Thea and team for creating an atmosphere where I could "swith off", find some peace in nature, solitude and learn a thing or two about farm life. I left Oban Guest Farm refreshed!!

Great personal attention from the owner. Lovely quiet spot in nature, a real farm experience and also caters for vegans

Turning off from the N3, the gravel road "forces" you to slow down en route to Oban Guest Farm...giving you time to take in the beautiful landscape of this area. Turning into the farm road, you cannot see the farm and that creates anticipation as you slowly drives down. Thea is a wonderful, spontaneous host and I liked the warm reception. The room is what it's suppose to be...farm style!! And crispy clean. WiFi is available, but the "sounds of silence" and of animals and birds are therapeutic. Breakfast, in an interesting dining room setting, was delicious. Checkout is simple and seamless. Thanks for the hospitality Thea and staff. I had a great experience: a match between your authentic facility, excellent service and great price!! I wanted a RUSTIC experience and I got it!

Family overnight Stay We stayed in a family room with 2 kids. The location is amazing. Host is super friendly and accommodating. The new owners are renovating but the room we stayed in, had not gotten the upgrade yet. Having only a bath tub in a family room was not convenient. It was bitterly cold when we stayed there and rooms do not have heating or air-conditioning. Only main bed had electric blankets, so kids had to layer on some warm clothes for the night. Dinner and breakfast was of an acceptable standard. Cutlery is in need of a refresh. We didnt like the pink liquid soap in bathroom as it gives one the feeling of a public toilet facility. The host warmt and friendliness made up for any shortfalls and it is evident that upgrades are in progress.
