Old Mac Daddy is a unique 'trailer-flash' glamping resort with a family friendly Barn Restaurant based in the Elgin Valley

If you long for a fresh-air and apple-pie holiday inspired by the watermelon-chin memories of childhood but don’t think this needs to come at the cost of conscious creative design, then Old Mac Daddy - just outside Cape Town is for you.

Part wholesome caravan park, part designer farm lodge, Old Mac Daddy Trailer Hotel is a new chapter in adventure, escapism and pure relaxation.

Set on the pine-whispering slopes of a beautiful corner of the Elgin Valley, Old Mac Daddy is a collection of vintage Airstream Trailer Suites, each designed by an artist, designer or creative living and working in Cape Town that is a place for people to stay.

Fully catered and serviced; Old Mac Daddy offers trailer units with artist-themed bedrooms and uber-contemporary living spaces as well as comfortable glamping style tented options and 2 self-catering units for larger extended families of groups of friends.

Guests can relax by the pool or go fishing at the lake. Bikes are available for rent, and a children's indoor play area and outdoor playground can also be found on site.

On weekends and School Holidays; children of all ages can participate in a range of fun activities.

And those seeking a more relaxed moment can visit our Zen Den Spa offering a selection or pampering massages and beauty therapies.

The Barn Restaurant

The Barn Restaurant and communal area is a slick but comfortable ‘’Scandi-meets-SA’’ space to take in the views, enjoy some good food and extensive local wine and craft beer list. The pool and deck is a sure winner on summer days – if you aren’t at the dam – and roaring fireplaces and a library keep it cosy in winter.

The restaurant is open daily for breakfast lunch and supper (8am – 10pm).We encourage Day Visitors to come for a meal at the Barn but request that they book in advance in the event that we are closed for a private event.

Join us at the Barn every Sunday for a family feast and fun day.

Enjoy a deliciously generous buffet menu, fabulous live music and entertainment, beach vibes on our dam and funtastic activities for kids of all ages (like jumping castle, waterslides, sand castle building croquet, jungle gyms and more).

Spitbraai Buffet Menu @ R245pp (R125 for kids). There are also a host of yummy vegan & vegetarian options and great drink specials.
