Fly fish for Rainbow trout in one of our many stretches of privately owned and stocked waters
Explore the spectacular and rare "little 5" flora, fauna, reptile,
amphibian and avian species.
Take a complementary ride in one of our specially adapted all weather Mercedes Unimog 4x4 vehicles to examine our treasured red data book flower species,
including the super rare "diminutive cluster head" protea thought to be extinct until recently.
Try and spot the elusive Klipspringers, Cape Mountain Leopards, Clawless Otters, Black Eagles and other
treasures that cling to survival in our mountain kingdom.
We also have spectacular birdlife (birding lists are available for you to take along with you enabling
you to add to the list!)
You can also hike (400m to 20km... you choose),
or take a stroll along one of our walking trails, mountain bike
(your own bikes), quad ride (by arrangement at extra cost approx 20min
away), take a picnic on the slopes of "Draak se Kop" our mini mountain
soaking in the scenic beauty of the Palmiet Valley. Swim in the glorious rock
pools or just laze around the camp with a good book and a fine vintage wine to keep you company.
We are self
catering but if you book the whole camp we can quote you for part or full catering, whatever you require. We also offer
picnic lunches for larger groups by prior arrangement. If you have a function or conference, then we will quote you for the
whole package suited to your individual needs.
After dinner huddle around the roaring
"lapa" fire (preferably with a large bottle of Old Brown Sherry)and enjoy the quiet solitude as
the Milky Way drifts just over the tree tops (incredible star gazing!)
If the weather is cold or wet, relax and snuggle up on our comfotable couches in front of a roaring
fire in the "boma"
When ready for bed follow the stone paths, lit by twinkling hurricane lamps,
enjoy a piping hot shower fed from our pure mountain stream and tuck yourself into the extra thick, cuddly duvets in our extravagant
and sophisticated "Out of Africa" style en suite safari tents.
All tents
have heaters (and hot water bottles) to keep you warm on the coldest of winter nights and multi layering to keep you cool
on the hottest of summer days.
Was that the cough of a Cape Mountain Leopard?
Maybe just hubby snoring...who
knows!!
No need to get up at sparrows, laze around and have coffee as you watch the Palmiet River bubble past your
tent flap or if you wish go out for a early drive and watch the sun come up over "Draak se Kop".
The
best part?
No 3 hour slog back to Cape Town on Sunday, just jump into your car and 20 minutes later survey the
beautiful Cape from the top of Sir Lowry's Pass as you begin the descent for Cape Town and home.
75km from Cape Town. 40km from S.West.
Come and Spend some Warm Family Time together!!
