Perfekte naweek saam vriende met baie vuur maak teen die koue.

Hierdie is 'n juweel plekkie weggesteek tussen die berge teen die rivier. Perfekte wegbreekplek om bietjie af te skakel en te ontspan.

Perfect weekend with friends with lots of fire making against the cold.

This is a gem of a place hidden between the mountains by the river. Perfect getaway to switch off and relax.

Absolute rustigheid en vrede!

Die ideale kampplek vanwaar jy die omgewing se natuurskoon kan verken. Die aasvoëlkranse, Joubertspas, SAR-tonnel, Rhodes en Tiffindell is 'n paar van die moet-sien-plekke in die omgewing!

Sal nie weer met karavaan daarheen gaan nie.

Daar word nie vooraf gesê hoe die pad berg af na die staanplekke lyk nie. Het nie vooraf geweet daar is nie krag nie. Pad regtig sleg veral na die reën - dink regtig jy het 4x4 nodig om daar uit te kom. Ontvangs glad nie op standaard nie. Foto's op website is glad nie wat jy daar sien nie.

Will not go there again by caravan.

It is not said in advance what the road looks like down the mountain to the pitches. Didn't know beforehand there was no power. Road really bad especially after the rain - really think you need 4x4 to get there. Reception not up to standard at all. Photos on website are not at all what you see there.

Netjies, pragtige omgewing, veilig en rustig. Die plek om te ontspan.

Elize en Ian baie dankie dat julle bereid is om die stuk hemel met mense te deel, ek wil amper vir niemand vertel nie - netnou vind te veel mense uit van julle juweel. Die kuier daar was 'n fees veral na die lieflike reën wat daar geval het. Ons het niks kort gekom nie, die cottage bevat alles wat mens nodig het, die hele resort is netjies versorg en die pad is mooi. As jy wil rus en die natuur geniet is die beslis die plek om te besoek!

Elize and Ian thank you so much for being willing to share your piece of heaven with people, I hardly want to tell anyone - too many people are finding out about your gem right now. The visit there was a festival especially after the lovely rain that fell there. We didn't miss anything, the cottage contains everything you need, the whole resort is neatly maintained and the road is beautiful. If you want to rest and enjoy nature, this is definitely the place to visit!

Die mooiste atmosfeer met die lieflikste waterstroom wat deur die kampterrein loop. Gas-geysers sorg vir heerlike warm water en die geriewe is skoon.

Die staanplekke is lowergroen gras met die mooiste uitsig. Daar is geen krag op die terrein nie so maak seker jy het die regte benodigdhede daarvoor. Dit is stil met net die geraas van die waterstroom wat jy snags hoor. Daar is ook geen selfoonsein nie en dit is ideaal vir die wegbreek van realiteit.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

The most beautiful atmosphere with the loveliest stream of water running through the campsite. Gas geysers provide delicious hot water and the facilities are clean.

The pitches are lush green grass with the most beautiful view. There is no power on site so make sure you have the right supplies for it. It is quiet with only the noise of the water stream that you hear at night. There is also no cell phone signal and it is ideal for a break from reality.

Rus vir jou siel.

Die omgewing is asemrowend. Die feit dat daar geen selfoonopvangs is nie laat ‘n mens waarlik rus. Die swempoele in die rivier verskaf heerlike lafenis en pret. Die badkamers kan wel doen met ‘n opgradering.

Totale ontspanning. Skoon plek. Gasvryheid.

Afgesny van die wêreld, tussen berge en teenaan die rivier. Mens voel deel van die natuur, veilig en ontspanne. Die sterrehemel in die nag is onbeskryflik mooi. Die eienaars is gasvry en behulpsaam. Onthou om ook 'n toer te boek na die aasvoëls en tonnel by die eienaars. Moet dit nie misloop nie.

Cut off from the world, between mountains and by the river. One feels part of nature, safe and relaxed. The starry sky at night is indescribably beautiful. The owners are hospitable and helpful. Remember to also book a tour to the vultures and tunnel with the owners. Do not miss it.

Rustig gekamp met die nodige stilte vir 'n wegbreek.

Rustig gekamp langs die rivier, met die nodige stilte vir 'n wegbreek. Buiten baie sterk winde wat kamp opslaan en afslaan so bietjie uitdagend gemaak het, was die weer, staproete, besoek na die gorge alles die moeite werd. Veilige opset. Kampterrein het losstaande braaigeriewe, asook 'n lapa. Geen selfoonsein by die kampterrein. Sal definitief aanbeveel en selfs weer hier kamp met 'n volgende trip.

Peacefully camped with the necessary silence for a getaway.

Quietly camped along the river, with the necessary silence for a getaway. Apart from very strong winds that made setting up and taking down camp a bit challenging, the weather, hiking route, visit to the gorge were all worth it. Secure configuration. Campground has detached braai facilities, as well as a lapa. No cell phone signal at the campsite. Would definitely recommend and even camp here again on a next trip.

Beautiful simplicity.

First time camping with new everything. Was met by the friendly owner and shown campsite. Although we only overnighted it was a pleasant stay with great scenery alongside a meandering river. Caveat: Noisy neighbours in the morning. (Just joking, a rowdy troop of baboons camped out on the slope opposite the campsite the night before and I suppose someone never prepared breakfast).

Ligging is ongelooflik.

Ons het 2 aande by die Pienkklip gekamp langs die rivier met ‘n ongelooflike uitsig van die kranse. Die kamp was baie stil. Sterre is asemrowend in die aand. As jy van natuurskoon hou met ‘n bosgevoel (rustic) is hierdie die plek om te gaan. Naby genoeg om Rhodes te gaan besoek. Swemplekke en visvang in omgewing. Daar is gasgeysers en geen krag so is ‘primitief’ op ‘n goeie manier!

Location is amazing.

We camped for 2 nights at the Pink Rock next to the river with an incredible view of the cliffs. The camp was very quiet. Stars are breathtaking in the evening. If you like natural beauty with a rustic feel, this is the place to go. Close enough to visit Rhodes. Swimming and fishing nearby. There are gas geysers and no power so is 'primitive' in a good way!

Pragtige ligging. Ideaal as jy vir rustigheid, berge en rivier hou. Wind was bietjie onaangenaam. Maar lekker koud in aande (einde April). Plek was onlangs onder water met vloede, so eienaar nog besig met bietjie opknap en herstelwerk.
