Farm is very nice and the location is beautiful with a river.

We enjoyed our stay. The only thing that I wasn't happy with was that someone who also camped there was flying a drone over us. So, no privacy because of the drone.

Wonderlike ontdekking.

Pragtige plaas naby Knysna, maar voel afgeleë. Stilte, pragtig en baie voëls. Eienaars was heeltyd beskikbaar en besorg oor hul kampeerders. Juweel op Tuinroete.

Wonderful discovery.

Beautiful farm near Knysna, but feels remote. Quiet, beautiful and lots of birds. Owners were always available and concerned about their campers. Jewel on Garden Route.

Baie mooi, maar instandhouding en diens van ablusiegeriewe is nie op standaard nie.

Moes 'n uur wag dat die gras gesny word voordat ons kon opslaan, en het ons karavaan gekrap weens nie instandhouding van die toegangspad - nie aanbeveel vir karavane wat nie 4x4 is nie. Geen warm water om te stort in die oggend nie.

Very nice, but maintenance and service of ablution facilities is not up to standard.

Had to wait an hour for the grass to be cut before we could set up and scratched our caravan due to lack of maintenance on the access road - not recommended for non 4x4 caravans. No hot water to shower in the morning.

Peace and quiet.

Loved the campsite, and the bonus was we were all alone. Abundant bird life for all the twitchers, campsites are quite spacious.

Heerlik.

Ons het 'n wonderlike week hier spandeer. Ons het die kampterrein vir onsself gehad en het die privaatheid baie waardeer.

Delicious.

We spent a wonderful week here. We had the campsite to ourselves and really appreciated the privacy.

Heerlike kampplek.

Ek sal graag hierdie kampterrein aanbeveel. Die kliëntediens is puik en daar was bemoeienis gemaak om my te akkommodeer. Ek kon nie die hoofkampterrein bereik met my kar nie, aangesien die riviervlakke bietjie gestyg het weens die goeie reën. Ek kon egter 'n ander staanplek kry wat my luikrug voertuig kon bereik. Let wel, mens moet deur 'n rivier ry om die hoofkampterrein te bereik, dus is 'n voertuig met redelike vryhoogte 'n vereiste. Ek is wel meegedeel dat die riviervlakke gewoonlik heelwat laer is.

Great campsite.

I would happily recommend this campground. The customer service is great and efforts were made to accommodate me. I could not reach the main campsite with my car as the river levels had risen a bit due to the good rains. However, I was able to find another stand that my hatchback could reach. Note that one has to drive through a river to reach the main campsite, so a vehicle with reasonable ground clearance is a requirement. I have been told that the river levels are usually much lower.

Beautiful scenic camp area nestled in Knysna, but the dirt roads to the farm and on the farm were a bit tough on our city vehicle. We also couldn't cross the shallow stream with our car but management were kind enough to help with our luggage.

Even though there is a filter 'pets by arrangement' and the fact that I messaged the farm prior to booking confirmation to double-check I could bring my corgi with me, it was a shock when we arrived at check in. I recommend double-checking, triple-checking prior to booking if the filter is still on.
