Another great stay at the Farm Inn. We stayed in the older section and the room was lovely but the bathroom could use a bit of love.

The farm inn is a very unique place! The staff is very friendly and rooms are lovely. Food was tasty and the breakfast delicious. Easy to get an Uber, wifi was good, lots of parking for vehicles. The game drive is more zoo like than animals out in nature. I think that is it!

Hands-off Management
Do not get a cheaper room. These are in a tired building with no air conditioning and no mosquito gauze on the windows. So, unless you want to sleep in a stuffy room with windows closed, you will be fighting mosquitoes and a very nonchalant attitude by front desk staff about the very real mosquito problem in these rooms.

It was as good as always, only have two complaints. The one guest Talon Faler from the USA had no hot water in his room so had to take a cold shower. The food was awesome, was a little disappointed with the Kingklip though. Thank you

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. I feel the road to the hotel, the farm inn road, needs an upgrade. Though its a short distance, the ride on the road isnt smooth with small cars.

Although there is not a lot of variety in the surroundings and what one can do in the area, the hotel manages to keep up a good standard of comfort and has a restaurant and safari in its backyard. I felt very safe in the hotel, and the service was good, everyone was friendly and I had a good time overall. Will come again if in the area.
