Are you a quirky traveller? Visit Old Mac Daddy Hotel

Old Mac Daddy Hotel rests within the beautiful Elgin Valley in Grabouw, Western Cape. What makes this wholesome resort unique is the fact that it is part caravan park and part designer farm lodge! Even more? There are different types of styled accommodation for any guest in any mood.

Accommodation

Due to the themed resort, there are a plethora of accommodation options for you to choose from when you find your way to Old Mac Daddy. As previously mentioned, there are three different types of accommodation with different themes for each one:

  • Airstream trailers (like caravans, but each one is stylised)
  • Self-catering villas (for the more modern guest)
  • Glamping tents (tents that are completely set up and furnished)
