Where soul and nature meet.
Truly an experience to cherish. Quiet, clean and the sounds of nature bring humanity to a standstill. Staff are so helpful. Whoever the owner is, thank you so much for sharing Eden with us.

Very scenic area. We checked in late afternoon and got in easily.
The scenery is one for the books. However, the facilities were a bit disappointing. Some of the lights and one of the showers did not work well. If we weren't all human, the broken shower would have been a problem.

Nice location but not a place I would recommend.
Tried to contact them about 15 times on Sunday December 25th but the cell number rings until it goes to voicemail. A Whatsapp was sent at 20:46pm to the cell number and also to website, tried to contact them as I wanted to check in by 10am on the 26th. On the 26th of December I tried to contact them again at about 10am but the cell still rings until it goes to voicemail. At 11am upon my arrival at their entrance I first get a "yes its fine" Whatsapp. The campsite's name is actually Eden's Gate or Magoebaskloof Getaway and not indicated as on the map provided by the website (there are many other campsites in the same area and without a proper name you will end up in the wrong place). The directions on the website took us to a wrong place in the woods, so we got lost. Called the manager again, but again they didn't answer their phone. I requested a pin drop but still waiting for it. With great difficulty we arrive at the place with a road that I would not recommend with a car and caravan - the road needs a lot of work. We met Sam at reception who was unhelpful as if we were bothering him. He claims the 50% still had to be paid, after I had to quickly correct him that it had already been paid. His flimsy excuse was that there is no catchment in the mountains and was not aware of the calls in the past 2 days. I immediately dialed the number in front of him and he turned red with embarrassment when the phone rang in his hands. Hyt also didn't see that we asked for a pindrop after we got lost in the woods for almost an hour. The campsite was empty and we could choose a pitch. We were the only campers. Took pitch 6 which has the most grass. The rest is dirt and with all the rain it was a mud mess. Surely they can redo the place where your caravan or tent stands with paving bricks like 99% of other campsites which prevent everything from getting full of mud. Bathrooms were clean, but the right side men's toilet (only 2 toilets in men's bathroom and 2 in women's bathroom) was leaking water washing the bathroom floor. The left-hand hand basin tap can also be tightened. The men shower head is broken and you have to dance around to get wet. The women's bathroom's right toilet was also leaking water and I had to turn off the faucet to stop the waste. Only certain bulbs in the campsite worked and we had to take out some of the bulbs from the empty pitches ourselves to replace the ones that had blown. From our arrival we could hear that there is a short circuit somewhere on the electric wire. Day 2 after I complained, they found a live open electrical wire in the yard at stand 5 and tied it off. Also no electricity was available at the pitches where you plug in your caravan as according to the workers it is on a 'single (one) phase' but the site and ablution blocks are on a 'three phase'. After 2 days without power , the workers made available extension cords that had to be plugged into the bathrooms. The people who checked in a day after us at stand 4 and 5 didn't stay long and were also unhappy. The geyser was on solar so the lukewarm water was limited as it was very cloudy. Surely it could also be connected to power to avoid a cold shower. Wall plugs at the chapel which is outside by a river and under trees were open and exposed to the rain. Location was exceptional nice - ponds, grounds, chalets, but serious maintenance needs to be considered. It would also mean a lot if the manager answered their phone as they run a resort. I shudder to think if there was an emergency and people tried to contact them .On a scale of 1 to 10 I give them a 9 for the location. Access to the resort (the dirt road to the resort) 1 out of 10 - would not venture the road without a proper 4X4. Not good for a regular town car. Customer service I would give them a 0.5 out of 10. Would I recommend the place to other campers? Definitely not happy. NB I would give them no star for customer service but had to as you can't save your comment without filling in the space.

Lovely, peaceful visit.
We had a great time camping, but the road was not suitable for a 2x4 with a trailer. You definitely need a 4x4 for towing to the camp.

Very quiet and beautiful.
Path down to the resort a bit steep for a regular caravan. Ideal for tents and forest wagons. Ablution facilities nice and clean, but can be too few if park is full. Very nice camping and the little shop has everything you need.

Baie lekker met yskas vir vrugte waar niemand ons vleis, melk of koeldranke gevat het nie . Vrugte-gebied so kinders geniet dit. Waterval net baie moeilik om te bereik as ouer saam met jou kinders.

Very nice with a fridge for fruit where no one took our meat, milk or soft drinks. Fruit area so kids enjoy it. Waterfall just very difficult to reach as a parent with your children.
Kettle would be very nice if it was possible, not a gas kettle. Very good that music stopped by itself around 11:00 without us having to ask each other as campers. Each campsite naturally respected each other. Very nice. Receptionist was great. Even helped us set up camp at night when reception's brother saw us struggling a bit at night. Exceptionally good service.

Incredible scenery!
It's a lovely place that has unfortunately become more of a wedding venue. Cute little kitchen. Camp is tidy but bathrooms not serviced over the 4 days. Beth is very friendly and helpful. Ladies shower clogged and there is only one. Nevertheless, wonderful camping and hiking. Road not suitable for ordinary caravans.

Hello julle
Dankie vir die mooi woorde. Ek is so jammer oor die diens en die toestand van die badkamers. Ek voel skoon skuldig want ek het nie'n oog oor die skoonmakers gehou nie. Ek wens julle het vir my laat weet sodat ek dit daar en dan kon regstel. Dit sal definitief nie weer gebeur nie. Hoopons sien julle weer.
Groete, BETH

Beautiful surroundings. People with a caravan must be sure that their vehicle will be able to pull the caravan out of the gorge
The reception was very friendly and nice. You are often asked if you are still happy or if you have any problems. We had a great time in a beautiful peaceful environment. People with children are going to miss it if they decide to stay in the camp, as there is no entertainment for them.

Very disappointed, not at all like in photos.
Nature incredibly beautiful, but the resort is not maintained and the camping area is significantly smaller than in the photos. It must also be clearly stipulated that the access road is a 4x4 route.

Ek is so jammer dat julle so ongelukkig was. Die kampterrein is presies soos hulle op die fotos verskyn, anders hoe sou ons hulle kon verander het. Wat die pad aanbetref, is dit glad nie 'n 4x4 pad nie - ek ry met my Chev Spark op en af sonder enige probleme. Daar is nie 'n swembad nie maar die mense swem in die dam - dit is regtig lekker. Weereens jammer dat julle so voel

The road to the campsite is horrible.
The road from the tarmac is almost impassable for an ordinary sedan car. A four wheel drive vehicle is required. The campground is nice, but the owners are upgrading to a wedding venue. If attention is paid to the road and the improvement is completed it could be a great weekend getaway. There is no swimming pool.

Nice surroundings, but there is a building blocking the view.
We expected to find a campsite as in the photo, but instead there was a construction site going on. The building is a wedding hall. That's practically the entire width of the view. After we complained, the hostess let us stay in her log house for 2 of our 4 nights. It was worth it and beautiful. I would advise that you find out if there is a wedding on before you book. My opinion is that one will not be able to camp while there is a wedding going on.

Ja, dit sal nie lekker wees vir die gaste of die troue pare nie. Ons sluit die kampterrein wanneer daar 'n troue is. Ek neem net besprekings vir tye wanneer daar nie 'n troue is nie.
