Most beautiful views and everything is available at reception too. Very nice stay. One of the best combing places.

Mooiste uitsigte en alles is beskikbaar by ontvangs ook. Baie lekker gebly. Een van die beste kamplekke.

Well worth it, will be back for sure. We really enjoyed our stay. It was great being off grid and not worried about phone signal and other social media distractions. We had a very nice walk on Friday on one of the many mountain bike trails. The unit was great and very well equipped all around. The bed was great, there are just no cupboards in the bedroom. The kitchen is well stocked and you have 2 gas burners to cook on. The bathroom is also good with a nice big fridge. The amount of stars you can see is really something else. A few things to just consider: You MUST have at least a 4x2 high riding bakkie, as the road up to the cabin is very rough. There is 0 signal at the cabin, only signal at the reception area. The hot tub is very nice, but bring lots of wood. Take mosquito and fly repellent with you, just in case.

Amazing! Amazing location and experience. This little cabin is hidden away and isolated from the rest of the world, in a very literal sense. The most amazing peace one can experience and star gazing I have never seen before. Hot tub to enjoy. The cabin was clean and very comfortable and one just need to leave the troubles of the world and relax for a night or two. The road is good, but do note that it is a gravel road with lots of big rocks and the area has no signal. No load shedding, since the cabin runs from solar.

Hi Juanita Thank you for your visit and your wonderful feedback. We have been working on the roads since your visit and after the floods, so they are less rocky now. Hope to see you back soon. Sharon

Hallo Juanita Dankie vir jou besoek en jou wonderlike terugvoer. Ons werk aan die paaie sedert julle besoek en ná die vloede, so hulle is nou minder klipperig. Hoop om jou binnekort terug te sien. Sharon

Private and tranquil stay. We had a lovely stay at Rhebokvlakte. The cottage is lovely and has stunning views! We enjoyed being completely off the grid and our lovely walks in the morning. We were a little surprised that there was absolutely no signal or WiFi, perhaps we missed that in the property description, but we embraced it nonetheless.

Hi Sarah I appreciate this wonderful feedback. I hope you left with Karoo memories that will keep you coming back for years to come. As stated on all our platforms, we do not have WiFi. I'm pleased you embraced this. Sharon

Hallo Sarah Ek waardeer hierdie wonderlike terugvoer. Ek hoop jy is weg met Karoo-herinneringe wat jou vir jare sal laat terugkom. Soos op al ons platforms gesê, het ons nie WiFi nie. Ek is bly jy het dit omhels. Sharon

Rustic with clean bathrooms. Stars are out of this world. Awesome location with clean bathrooms. The only negative is the fact that the gate code wasn't sent to us. There is also no signal at the gate, so you will either have to drive back into town or jump the fence and walk to reception.

Hi Michael Thank you so much for this feedback. As this is a huge concern for me, I went back on your reservation to confirm that you were in fact sent the gate code on the 12th September. I am sorry you didn't see it on the LekkeSlaap platform and profile where we have been communicating. All clients on booking confirmation get sent this email. With thanks Sharon

A nature lover's dream. Beautiful environment to camp in. Different species of birds and the cutest mice live near the campsite. The ablutions are spartan, but have gas geysers. Be prepared to get cold when you shower and the wind blows; ablutions are only wooden panels loosely assembled. There was no hot water for washing dishes, but the gas geyser installation is available - we believe this is not always a problem. Reception was warm and friendly. Dirt road in the reserve will not be so easily passable for low-slung sedan cars. Make sure you download the gate code before you go; we stood in front of the gate and waited for someone to come out from inside to open for us - there is no catchment and 30 km of dirt road to the nearest signal. Gecko Rock is a beautiful part of the Koo Karoo - a must on your camping list!

Natuurliefhebber se droom. Pragtige omgewing om in te kamp. Verskillende voëlsoorte en die skattigste muise bly naby die kampterrein. Die ablusies is spartaans, maar het gasgeisers. Wees voorbereid om koud te kry wanneer jy stort en die wind waai; ablusies is slegs houtpanele wat losweg aanmekaargesit is. Daar was nie warm water vir skottelgoedwas nie, maar die gasgeiserinstallasie is beskikbaar - ons glo dis nie altyd 'n probleem nie. Ontvangs was warm en vriendelik. Grondpad in die reservaat sal nie so maklik begaanbaar wees vir laagliggende sedanmotors nie. Maak seker jy het die hekkode afgelaai voor jy gaan; ons het voor die hek gestaan en gewag totdat iemand van binne uitkom om vir ons oop te maak - daar is geen opvangs nie en 30 km se grondpad tot die naaste sein. Gecko Rock is 'n pragtige deel van die Koo Karoo - 'n moet op jou kamplys!

Great place to get away from it all. Beautiful remote place to really get away from it all. Good for hiking, biking and chilling. Cottage was clean, spacious and well-equipped and our hosts were all lovely. Will definitely go back with friends.
