Cosy, safe, convenient, well resourced.

The camp and facilities and our time at Otium Oasis were absolutely lovely, in spite of our booking falling in the heart of the cold wet winter. Our hosts made sure that this minor detail does not spoil our weekend. Thank you, you really went above and beyond and we appreciate you.

Countryside glamping.

So near yet you feel so far away sitting in the hot tub with a few springbok roaming freely. The unit has everything needed for a relaxing stay. The aesthetic bath was the winner and will definitely be back.

Ons kuier was awesome.

Die Tipi Tent was net soos dit op die foto's was en dit was goed om te sien. Dit was baie rustig en ons as famielie kon baie tyd met mekaar spandeer in die natuur. Baie dankie tannie vir u gasvryheid en u gesindheid. Ons sien gou weer.

Rustig, romanties, amazing.

Baie dankie vir die wonderlike verblyf. Jammer die pad was so bietjie rof, veral as 'n mens nie met 'n hoë voertuig kan kom nie. Die uitsig is mooi, privaatheid, alles was net wonderlik.

Ontevrede.

Vir die eerste uur moes ek muise rondjaag om uit ons chalet to kom, ek moes yskaste rondskuif om ontslae te raak van hulle, die muis "droppings" was orals, die glase en borde was vol muis "droppings", ons moes alles uitwas voordat ons dit kon gebruik. Die yskas bo-op was pateties vuil. Baie dik laag vet en stof, mens kan sien dit word nie skoongemaak nie, ons het dit onder die eienaar se aandag gebring, waarna sy vir ons gese het sy sal iemand stuur om te kom skoonmaak,. Wel, iemand was nooit daar nie. Ek kon nie wag om Sondagoggend die plek te verlaat nie. Jammer, maar ek voel dit is nie die geld werd nie. Soos aangedui dat daar wifi is, wel daar is nie.

Dissatisfied.

For the first hour I had to chase mice around to get out of our chalet, I had to move fridges around to get rid of them, the mouse "droppings" were everywhere, the glasses and plates were full of mouse "droppings", we had to wash everything before we could use it. The fridge on top was pathetically dirty. Very thick layer of grease and dust, you can see it is not cleaned, we brought it to the owner's attention, after which she told us she would send someone to come and clean it. Well, someone was never there. I couldn't wait to leave the place on Sunday morning. Sorry, but I feel it is not worth the money. As stated that there is wifi, well there isn't.

Beste Danie, jammer om te hoor van julle ontevredenheid.
Ons is eers die volgende dag hieroor ingelig en her toe aangebied dat ons iemand stuur waarop jy aangedui het dit is nie nodig nie, en dat goed soos dit gebeur in die natuur.
Ons neem kennis van jou ongelukkigheisd en ek het reeds aangebied om vir julle 'n volle tergbetaling te gee.
Volgende keer as jy jou in so situasie bevind, bring dit tog onmiddelik onder die eienaars se aandag sodat hulle daatwerklik kan optree.
Groete,

Relaxing in nature.

The owner was very kind to upgrade us. There was so much to experience and do for the kids. Feeding the alpacas, zebras seeing the pics, baby ducks roaming around, playground for the kids, giant chess and small pool with a roof for even the rainy days. We spent most of our time in the hot tub till late at night and early morning. The glamping was so nice with plenty of space for a family of 4 to move around. Small kitchen with everything you needed. Ball and claw bath, shower and toilet all in the tents. The beds were very comfortable, with electric blankets. All around there were beautiful pine trees and it was lovely to wander around and pick up pine cones. It's only a short drive to the town where we ate at the Posthuis restaurant that really spoils their guests. Never knew about this little gem and would recommend it to honeymoon couples and families that want to spend a relaxing weekend away in nature. Thanks to Alet for the hospitality.

'n Fantastiese plek om te ontspan en as vriende saam te kuier. Rustig tussen die bome met baie spasie en baie netjiese ablusiegeriewe. Ons gaan beslis weer hiernatoe kom, Alet is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Calm and secluded glamping getaway with quality accommodation.

Stayed in one of the teepee tents with a few friends. Was a very nice camping experience without having to worry about setting up a tent. There's no electricity, so prepare for that. Very nice bathrooms. Alet was very friendly and helpful.

Lekker gesinsnaweek weg.

Ons het heerlik gebly by Otium Oasis. Die tent was baie skoon en netjies toe ons arriveer. Die kinders het die speelplek, swembadjie en diere baie geniet. Ongelukkig steeds mense wat nie basiese reëls nakom nie, so daar was musiek-geraas van tyd tot tyd. Dink dis belangrik om te noem dat die enigste 'stofie'-opsie 'n induksieplaat was. Ons kon nie ons koffiepot daarop gebruik nie en hulle kon nie 'n alternatief aanbied nie. Daar was ook nie 'n rasper of blikoopmaker nie.

Have a great family weekend away.

We had a wonderful stay at Otium Oasis. The tent was very clean and tidy when we arrived. The children really enjoyed the playground, swimming pool and animals. Unfortunately still people who don't follow basic rules, so there was music noise from time to time. Think it's important to mention that the only 'stuff' option was an induction hob. We couldn't use our coffee pot on it and they couldn't offer an alternative. Nor was there a grater or can opener.

Family friendly tented accommodation on a farm with animals.

We had a great time at Bright Valley. The girls (8 and 10) loved interacting with the various animals and assisting with the chores on the farm. The hosts are very friendly and sociable and we all felt right at home. Highly recommended. Remember to bright all your groceries etc., as Tesselaarsdal has limited supplies of those and Caledon, Stanford ad Hermanus are some distance away.

Peace, quiet and beautiful country side.

Our stay in the Alpaca tent was awesome. Only issue I did have was that there wasn't a blind in the bathroom window. Neighbours' kids played there most of the time, thus no privacy in bathroom area. Also the chair on the deck needs to be replaced. Everything else was 100% and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Will definitely visit again. The caretaker was very friendly and helpful.

Otium Oasis 's response

Hallo Marileze,

Thank you for your feedback. We have listened and since taking over from the previous owners installed a beautiful blind, and replaced the deck chair with a comfortable table and chairs.

We hope to meet you sometime in the future.

Rustigheid.

Ek was net baie geïrriteerd met die feit dat die swembad vuil was en hulle kon dit nie skoonmaak nie, asook ons braai-lig was al Vrydag uit en moes wag tot Saterdag vir 'n ander een. Niemand het ons gesê hoe die voering van die diere werk nie.

Wonderlike rustige plekkie waar ons die stilte en mooi omgewing geniet het.

Die plekkie was heel gerieflik en heel privaat. Daar is wel 'n paar items wat aandag benodig. Die stoele op die dek moet vervang word. Die swembad/Jacuzzi benodig ook a skoonmaak maar dit kan wees dat dit nog nie die seisoen vir swem is nie. Ons het dit baie geniet en sal graag weer wil kom kuier.
