    Great location, easy to get to. Glamping was a fun experience that the kids really enjoyed it. Nice pool and dam and a lovely walk through the forest- really pretty.

    The hot tub was our highlight. The views are beautiful. The tent is clean, the kitchen is perfect, and the shower is very big. AfriCamp is a perfect location. Close to the N3, and there are a lot of things to do close by.

    The resident monkey population can be problematic, so you have to more than close windows and zip-up the tents when going out

    The facilities were great and the staff friendly. The communal swimming pool and hot tub were the highlights.

    The property must please advise regarding extras that one must purchase like firewood. Guests to bring own back up lamp in case of loadshedding it was not provided.

    Welcoming staff, privacy, safety and there is everything you may need for glamping. The hot tub was my favourite.

    The price/charge for lighting the hot tub is a little rich at R225. Not a fan of having to wash the dishes before leaving. Sort of takes the edge off a relaxing getaway.

    Accommodation and location fantastic. Tent has everything one needs. Hot tub was a wonderful experience on a dark overcast night. Great value in the braai basket.

    The only negative is the problem with the monkeys entering the tent EVERYTIME we left the tent unattended. Zipping it up and "locking" it did not deter these little creatures 1 bit! Luckily our food was in a locked cupboard!

    Loved the beautiful farm - the venue and surrounding farmlands are beautiful. The staff on check in / out were very friendly and efficient and the tent was very spacious and well equipped. Fabulous and so peaceful!

    The navigation system brought us in via a terrible dirt road. There needs to be a specific warning about this

    It was a great fun start to our road trip. The breakfast basket for two was enough to feed all three of us for dinner (sausages, bacon and eggs with toast) and breakfast (yoghurt, muesli etc)

    Glamming done right. Hot tub was amazing and there is an option to pre-light the wood fire - so your tub is ready as soon as you arrive. Staff are friendly. Everything was great.
