Wonderful stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at this Africamps. The rock pool is incredible! We were missing a braai grid and some initial issues with the light switches, but the team were there in a flash to sort us out. The tents have your basic necessities and ours even had a coffee plunger. It is a stunning location, and the stars were wonderful. We stayed here for a day trip to Aquila - it's only a 15-minute drive. The only thing I'd recommend to Africamps is to change their wood supplier: the wood was very wet and we had to go to Touwsriver the next day to get different wood. Engen stocks good, dry wood if you need it! We wished we'd booked another night; two wasn't enough. Hope to be back soon!

Lekker uitgerus en rustige atmosfeer.

Die verblyfplek is goed toegerus en lekker ontspannend op die houtdek. Snags het hy die geraas van al die voertuie wat op die N1-roete reis, maar andersins baie lekker.

Well rested and peaceful atmosphere.

The accommodation is well equipped and relaxing on the wooden deck. At night he has the noise of all the vehicles traveling on the N1 route, but otherwise very nice.

Gemaklik en genotlik.

Ons het ons verblyf by AfriCamps at Karoo 1 terdeë geniet! Dit was presies wat ons verwag en gesoek het. Baie netjies en perfek ingerig. Ongelukkig was daar nie water in die rotspoel nie en die swembad was groen. Hierdie was wel a.g.v. elektrisiteitsprobleme en nie onderhoud aan AfriCamps of Karoo1 se kant nie. Ons kon wel die "hot tub" gebruik. Die restaurant by Karoo1 het heerlike kos. Die bergfietsroetes is baie mooi.

Easy and enjoyable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at AfriCamps at Karoo 1! It was exactly what we expected and were looking for. Very neat and perfectly furnished. Unfortunately there was no water in the rock pool and the pool was green. This was due to electricity problems and no maintenance on AfriCamps or Karoo1's side. We were able to use the "hot tub". The restaurant at Karoo1 has delicious food. The mountain bike trails are very beautiful.

So so.

Die tentverblyf in no 13 met hottub was heerlik met 'n mooi uitsig na die berg. Ek was egter teleurgesteld oor die netheid van die terrein. Die krale skapies wat jy ontvang lê al jare omgeval. Papier en plastiek lê rond, stoepe is nie gevee nie, en akkers is vol onkruid. Ons het 25 minute vir ontbyt gewag en dit was koud. Personeel raas in die kombuis. Die ontvangsdame het kontant van my aanvaar en uit haar handsak kleingeld gegee. Ek het geen bewys van betaling ontvang.

So so.

The tent accommodation in no 13 with hot tub was wonderful with a nice view to the mountain. However, I was disappointed with the cleanliness of the grounds. The beaded cabinets you receive have been lying around for years. Paper and plastic are lying around, porches are not swept, and fields are full of weeds. We waited 25 minutes for breakfast and it was cold. Staff are making noise in the kitchen. The receptionist accepted cash from me and gave me change from her handbag. I have not received any proof of payment.

Heerlik, skoon en warm.

2 rolletjies toiletpapier te min vir 5 mense vir 'n naweek. Net een braaitang vir hout en vleis.

Lovely, clean and warm.

2 rolls of toilet paper too little for 5 people for a weekend. Just one tongs for wood and meat.

Skoon lug, skoon plek, skoon natuur!

Alles was mooi skoon en sal weer hierdie plek besoek. Karoo 1 is ook baie goed met hul kliëntediens. Die feit dat dit troeteldiervriendelik is, was 'n groot bonus!

As jy wil wegbreek uit die stad, ideaal. Stille rustigheid.

Ontvangs kon ons met aankoms ingelig het dat ons nie 10:00 hoef te ontruim nie, want hul was verbaas omdat ons so vroeg vertrek. Restaurant waar ontbyt bedien was, was nie heeltemal voorberei vir aantal gaste. Het nie genoeg voorraad gehad en sap en yogurt was warm. Ons hou daarvan om wegbreekplekke te ondersteun. Sou dit waardeer het as ons die rekening kon sien en nie net die bedrag mondelings weergegee word nie. Dalk kan daar 'n kaart wees om tente se nommers te wys, sodat mense kan kies op voorkeurbasis.

If you want to get away from the city, ideal. Quiet tranquility.

Reception could have informed us on arrival that we did not have to vacate at 10:00, because they were surprised because we were leaving so early. Restaurant where breakfast was served was not fully prepared for number of guests. Didn't have enough stock and juice and yogurt were warm. We love supporting getaways. Would have appreciated if we could see the bill and not just be told the amount verbally. Maybe there could be a map to show tent numbers so people can choose based on preference.

Lieflike, luukse verblyf in 'n pragtige tent. Die natuur is pragtig!

Ons het ons naweek by Africamps Karoo 1 baie geniet! Dit kaggeloondjie was perfek vir die koue weer wat ons gehad het. Die tente is baie goed geisoleer en ons het glad nie koud gekry as die vuurtjie gebrand het nie. Die beddens is goeie gehalte met luukse beddegoed. Lekker groot stort en die water altyd warm. Die natuur en ligging is asemrowend. Ons sal verseker weer gaan.

Lovely, luxurious accommodation in a beautiful tent. Nature is beautiful!

We really enjoyed our weekend at Africamps Karoo 1! This little fireplace was perfect for the cold weather we had. The tents are very well insulated and we didn't get cold at all when the fire was burning. The beds are good quality with luxury bedding. Nice big shower and the water is always hot. The nature and location are breathtaking. We will definitely go again.

Goeie potensiaal, maar hierdie besoek was nie goed nie.

Die AfriCamps tent was goed ingerig met 'n lekker kaggel binne wat die hele tent lekker warm maak. Ons het nie die warmbad gebruik nie, maar dit was beskikbaar en skoon. Ons was wel ontevrede met die feit dat ons in 'n tent geplaas is wat reg oorkant 'n area was waar daar werkers aan iets gewerk het. Die verblyf is troeteldiervriendelik so ons het ons honde saamgeneem, maar natuurlik wou ons honde die heeltyd vir die werkers blaf. Werkers wat boor en raas is natuurlik ook nie lekker as mens wil stilte hê en rus in die natuur nie. Nadat ek hieroor gekla het is ons darem spoedig gehelp en vir die 2de aand na 'n ander tent geskuif. Ons kon egter steeds die volgende oggend vanaf 10:00 die werkers hoor - klank trek mos maar in 'n kloof. Ek voel dat onderhoudwerk in so 'n geval gedoen moet word wanneer daar nie besoekers is nie - sluit eerder die hele area en kry die werk klaar. Of waarsku ten minste gaste dat hulle ongelukkig werkers gaan hoor werk.

Good potential, but this visit was not good.

The AfriCamps tent was well furnished with a nice fireplace inside that warms the whole tent. We didn't use the hot tub, but it was available and clean. We were unhappy with the fact that we were placed in a tent that was right across from an area where there were workers working on something. The accommodation is pet friendly so we took our dogs with us, but of course our dogs wanted to bark at the workers all the time. Workers who drill and make noise are of course also not pleasant if you want silence and rest in nature. After I complained about this we were quickly helped and moved to another tent for the 2nd night. However, we could still hear the workers the next morning from 10:00 - sound just goes into a gorge. I feel that maintenance work in such a case should be done when there are no visitors - rather close the whole area and get the job done. Or at least warn guests that they are unfortunately going to hear workers working.

Was lekker, net jammer alles werk nie mooi nie.

By aankoms was dit donker en onder 10 grade, dit was load shedding en daar was geen lig by die tent nie. Ek het probeer om die kaggel aan te steek, maar hy het ons uitgerook. Ek het ontvangs gebel en hulle het vir my gesê hulle sal môre iemand stuur, nadat ek daarop aangedring het, het iemand uit die dorp gekom. Ek moes nog 'n uur wag met 'n baba en kleuters wat huil dat hulle koud kry en ons kan niks sien nie. My hele eerste aand was 'n gemors as gevolg van geen batteryligte nie en dat instandhouding van die skoorstene nie gedoen word nie. Dit het die man 5min gevat om die sif in die skoorsteen uit te haal wat geblok was, as dit so maklik was, kan hulle dit gerus elke week doen voordat gaste sukkel. Ons vriende in 'n ander tent het presies met dieselfde probleem gesukkel en in 'n ander tent was die toilet geblok met aankoms.

Was nice, just a shame everything doesn't work well.

On arrival it was dark and below 10 degrees, it was load shedding and there was no light at the tent. I tried to light the fireplace, but he smoked us out. I called reception and they told me they would send someone tomorrow, after I insisted someone came from town. I had to wait another hour with a baby and toddlers crying that they are cold and we can't see anything. My entire first night was a mess due to no battery lights and no maintenance on the chimneys. It took the man 5min to take out the strainer in the chimney which was blocked, if it was that easy they can do it every week before guests struggle. Our friends in another tent struggled with exactly the same problem and in another tent the toilet was blocked on arrival.
