Rustig, stil en lekker ontspan.

Ons as gesin met 2 klein kinders het die kampplek baie geniet. Kinders het baie lekker geswem en gestap op die plaas paaie.

Peaceful, quiet and relaxing.

We as a family with 2 small children really enjoyed the campsite. Children had a lot of fun swimming and walking on the farm roads.

Absolutely amazing, not enough good words can be said.

Of the 23 countries and countless campsites in each I've been to, I can honestly say this was likely the most well thought out site I've used. The hot water on demand is a game changer, the fire pit is delightful. There are more sinks than you know what to do with, and the trees offer the perfect amount of shade. I honestly can't say enough good things about this little space. And all the staff were great to us, answered all our questions about crossing the border on the way to Botswana. If I'm ever in the area again, I will 100% be staying again.

Rustige bosveld wegbreek.

Heerlike kamp en kuierplek met baie geriewe. Die bos jacuzzi was 'n wenner met seep in vir ekstra borrels. Dis baie rustig en daar is 'n watergat binne stapafstand. Het 'n heerlike tydjie gehad en die gasheer is baie behulpsaam en vriendelik.

Tranquil woodland getaway.

Lovely camp and place to visit with many facilities. The forest jacuzzi was a winner with soap in it for extra bubbles. It's very peaceful and there is a waterhole within walking distance. Had a lovely time and the host is very helpful and friendly.

Sielerus!

'n Heerlike plek om weg te kom van die stad. Ons het gekamp en alhoewel daar nie kragpunte is nie, is daar mooi badkamers. Elke staanplek het sy eie privaat ablusie. Die kinders kon heerlik swem en hulself moeg speel in die veld. Stap en fietsry is heerlik op die plaas. Ideaal ook vir oorslaap oppad Botswana toe!

Peace of mind!

A great place to get away from the city. We camped and although there are no power points, there are nice bathrooms. Each stand has its own private ablution. The children were able to swim wonderfully and tire themselves out playing in the field. Walking and cycling are wonderful on the farm. Also ideal for a stopover on the way to Botswana!

Excellent!

We had a very nice stay at the Grootwater Lodge. We received a warm welcome from Gideon and Monica. The log cabins were very complete and we enjoyed two very peaceful days in de Kraal.

A true oasis within the north of South Africa.

Beautiful space with a lot of seats, a pingpong table, a bar, a proper kitchen, nice beds and showers. Beautiful place to stay at!

As jy wil wegbreek van die stad en sy lawaai is dit die plek.

Die diere was skaars omdat die bos so ruig is. Sou aanbeveel die die besigtiging te voet gedoen word. Die bosjaccuzi is n hit, veral in warm dae. Sou graag 'n kroegyskas in die ontspaningsarea wou sien en skerper ligte vir die boekwurms.

If you want to get away from the city and its noise this is the place.

The animals were rare because the forest is so dense. Would recommend that the viewing is done on foot. The bush jacuzzi is a hit, especially on hot days. Would like to see a bar fridge in the relaxation area and brighter lights for the bookworms.

Fantastic location.

The lodges are situated in a quiet and secluded part of the estate. There is room for additional campers and/or camper vans as part of the area, with power and plenty of washing/ablutions facilities. Each chalet is compact in size but has all the amenities you need. There is also a central communal kitchen. In the kitchen, there is a stove and oven, microwave and gas hob. Due to load shedding, we could not use the electrical appliances and the gas hob was not connected, however, this has been reported to the hosts who have confirmed they will remedy this. The hosts met us upon arrival and we received a friendly welcome, and nothing was too much trouble for them in order to make our stay comfortable.

Heerlike stop op pad Mapungubwe toe. Seuns het so lekker in sand gespeel.

Lieflik, tjoepstil boskamp. Ons sal graag weer oorstop, of dalk selfs langer bly volgende keer!

Great stop on the way to Mapungubwe. Boys had so much fun playing in the sand.

Lovely, quiet forest camp. We would love to stop over again, or maybe even stay longer next time!

Rustige bosveldatmosfeer. Saligheid vir jou siel.

Enigste plek waar mens vrede vind vir jou siel is in die bosveld. Wat dit meer aangenaam gemaak het was die gasvryheid van Monica. Die chalets is albei toegerus met sy eie badkamers. Ideaal om 'n groep te gaan wat ook hou van kamp. Ook 'n aparte badkamer vir die kampeerders. Die boskombuis het ek terdeë geniet. Manne het natuurlik die boma as treffer gesien. Het redelik baie wild gesien, kameelperd, koedoes, rooibokke en blesbokke. Reken die ander wild was maar sku vir ons gewees met die 7 jarige seun wat saam was. Die bosjacuzzi kon ons eers die 2de laaste dag gebruik weens die seën van reën vir die bosveld. Is daar 'n volgende keer? Vir seker!

Tranquil woodland atmosphere. Bliss to your soul.

The only place where you find peace for your soul is in the forest. What made it more enjoyable was the hospitality of Monica. The chalets are both equipped with their own bathrooms. Ideal for going a group that also likes to camp. Also a separate bathroom for the campers. I thoroughly enjoyed the forest kitchen. Men naturally saw the boma as a hit. Saw quite a lot of wildlife, giraffe, kudus, impalas and blesboks. Guess the other game was just shy of us with the 7 year old boy who was with us. We could only use the forest jacuzzi on the 2nd last day due to the blessing of rain for the woodland. Is there a next time? For sure!
