A magical, unforgettable stay.

My 9-year-old and I had a truly wonderful and magical experience at Milkwood Bushcamp. The owners were so helpful and kind to us. It felt like a home away from home. We really fell in love with the absolutely stunning surroundings and animals. The campsite was well maintained and had a nice area for cooking and making a fire. The bathrooms and kitchenette were clean and in close proximity to the campsite. While we are new to camping, we felt very comfortable and the owners were always around to help. There is plenty to do in the vicinity of the farm, like horse riding, having pizza at the amazing restaurant, The Boathouse, on the banks of the Breede River, and Infantas Beach. I would highly recommend this incredible spot to families and solo travellers!

It was lovely to spend a weekend getting away from city life.

Blissful getaway with friendly and efficient hosts. The camp sites are well situated to ensure maximum privacy.

N' beskostigbare lekker kampplek met die bonus van plaasdiere en atmosfeer.

Het baie lekker gekamp. Het die diere op die plaas baie geniet. Perde, honde, Tom die kat, die twee pappegaaie, skilpaaie, hoenders en die ander voëls. Die dam en die 3 pragtige ou Melkhout-bome was spesiaal.

An affordable nice campsite with the bonus of farm animals and atmosphere.

Had a great time camping. Really enjoyed the animals on the farm. Horses, dogs, Tom the cat, the two parrots, turtles, chickens and the other birds. The pond and the 3 beautiful old Melkhout trees were special.

Nice but needs cleaning up, and the road needs signs and cleaning.

Loved the camp site. Nervous driving into it gives you uneasiness due to the lack of road cleanliness and the junk laying around.

I felt at home.

As expected. I have been there before. The owners invited me for a braai, which made me feel at home. I loved watching the macaws flying.

Hi Giles, it was great to see you again. Hope you will be back at Milkwood Bushcamp in the near future.

A pleasant stay. We will stay there again.

We would recommend that the ablution facility be upgraded. The toilet and shower are together, which may cause a problem if the campsite is full.

Hi Mandy
Thanks for the positive review.
Your comment on the ablutions is noted. See you again.

Klein stukkie hemel op Aarde!

Vanaf die oomblik wat die kamp se vriendelike honde ons kom haal het, totdat ons ons moeg gespeelde hond in die voertuig gelaai het, was die naweek net absolute bliss. Alles was perfek, dit was lekker om weer langs kampvuur te sit en kaartspeel en te lag en na die naggeluide te luister en net in die oomblik te leef. Dankie vir 'n besonderse lekker naweek, ons kom baie gou weer en alles was pragtig skoon, en die warm water (gas geyser) was warmer as wat my verwagtinge was. Duidelik kan ek aanbeveel vir diegene wat net wil gaan sielsrus kry en wegkom van die stad se geraas.

Little piece of heaven on Earth!

From the moment the camp's friendly dogs came to pick us up, until we loaded our tired dog into the vehicle, the weekend was just absolute bliss. Everything was perfect, it was nice to sit by the campfire again and play cards and laugh and listen to the night sounds and just live in the moment. Thank you for a particularly nice weekend, we will be back very soon and everything was beautifully clean, and the hot water (gas geyser) was warmer than I expected. Clearly I can recommend to those who just want to go and get peace of mind and get away from the city's noise.

Veilig, stil, by die see, rivier, berg, platteland, fiets en plek om te stap.

Lekker stil en veilig. Visvang en swem. As jy wil wegkom van alles dan is die plek net reg.

Safe, quiet, by the sea, river, mountain, countryside, bike and place to walk.

Nice quiet and safe. Fishing and swimming. If you want to get away from it all then the place is just right.

Rustig met diertjies om te troetel.

Met minder as 10 staanplekke was Milkwood ideaal vir ons paasnaweekwegbreek. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en die honde op die perseel is 'n aanwins vir diereliefhebbers - elke keer so opgewonde om ons te sien. Die toegemaakte tuin met marmotte, skilpaaie en varkies was 'n groot treffer. Milkwood is naby die Breederivier so ideaal vir visvangers. Daar is twee bote te huur op die perseel. Infanta is naby met 'n lieflike strand met waterpoele vir die kinders om vissies te vang. Geen elektrisiteit, maar dit was nie 'n probleem nie. Die area kry wel baie wind gedurende April so ons het ampertjies weggewaai.

Quiet with animals to pet.

With less than 10 pitches, Milkwood was ideal for our Easter weekend break. We were kindly received and the dogs on the premises are an asset to animal lovers - every time so excited to see us. The enclosed garden with guinea pigs, turtles and piglets was a big hit. Milkwood is close to the Breede River so ideal for anglers. There are two boats for rent on site. Infanta is close by with a lovely beach with water pools for the children to catch fish. No electricity, but that wasn't a problem. The area does get a lot of wind during April so we were almost blown away.

Baie lekker en rustig, ideaal vir die wat net wil wegkom en niks doen.

Baie netjies en rustig. Ongelukkig met die droogte is die vlei opgedroog en daar was geen plek meer beskikbaar waar jy tot by die rivier kon kom om vis te vang nie.

Very nice and peaceful, ideal for those who just want to get away and do nothing.

Very neat and quiet. Unfortunately with the drought the marsh dried up and there was no longer any place available where you could get to the river to catch fish.

Thank you for taking the time to submit this review. We enjoyed having Liza and her family stay at Milkwood Bushcamp!

We do have an arrangement with The Boathouse whereby our campers can fish from their jetty, but we are working on having a permanent spot on the river for fishing and launching.
