Wonderlike verblyf ombring deur die beeldskon Tankwa natuur.

Dié verblyf het al ons verwagtinge oortref: groot, oop vertrekke, lieflike swembadjie, en al-wat-'n-man-is se droom braai! Elke huisie is heerlik privaat en uitstekend ingerig. Die stilte snags was besonders en kon weer die sterrehemel opnuut ervaar en waardeer! Kliëntediens was puik en vriendelik, veral toe hulle ons kom help met ekstra braaihout!

Wonderful stay surrounded by the beautiful Tankwa nature.

This accommodation exceeded all our expectations: large, open rooms, lovely swimming pool, and every man's dream barbecue! Each cottage is delightfully private and excellently furnished. The silence at night was special and was able to experience and appreciate the starry sky anew! Customer service was great and friendly, especially when they came to help us with extra firewood!

Volmaan in die Tankwa met 'n vuur op die stoep. Ons sal nooit die plek vergeet nie.

Stort en oop vlaktes was iets besonders. Swembad was nie die beste vir swem nie, was baie vuil, vol snaakse sluim.

Full moon in the Tankwa with a fire on the porch. We will never forget the place.

Showers and open plains were something special. Pool was not the best for swimming, was very dirty, full of funny slime.

Blissful; tranquil; in peace with nature.

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at our accommodation. Fantastic views, safe and secure, and really the units had everything we needed. Although our stay was very memorable, I do think that certain facts could have been made clearer with the listing description. For example: (1) Knowledge of a sleeper couch in the lounge area, given that we were 3 adults and 1 child. It meant that there was not a separate bed for the additional adult, and thus the child had to sleep on the couch. (2) No electricity made us believe that there is nothing! We were not aware that the unit was fully operated by solar panels and thus there will be lights, a fridge, microwave - this was a great surprise in the end, but we came with a camp freezer, etc! (3) Communicated the real distance (in km) to reception and the units from either ways to enter the reserve - recommendation to actually publish a map of the reserve (similar to what we got when we arrived at reception) to know how far we still have to drive when we entered the reserve. In the end, our stay was amazing; so please see this as positive feedback to be well prepared for our next. Thank you.

Heerlik gekuier. Stilte was hemels en bure is nie in sig. Was 'n plesier om in die.

Heerlik gebly. Sal volgende jaar weer daar wees. Geen spieël in badkamer. Voëlsmis teen mure. Verder was alles baie lekker en rustig. Geen WiFi is die beste ding. Dankie. Ons kon heeltemal afskakel.

Die verblyf is pragtig. Die huisies kort wel bietjie algemene onderhoud. Die swembadnet is fodde en 'n gevaar vir klein kindertjies. Die grondpaaie is rof maar is rybaar met hoë voertuie.

Avontuurlustig.

Ons verblyf was perfek geleë in die Park met 'n pragtige uitsig. Wat ons vakansie beter sou maak is om beter ingelig te word deur Ontvangs oor die volgende: Daar is geen opvangs in en om die Park nie, alhoewel daar Wi-Fi by Ontvangs is. Mens kan ook (baie goeie!) hout koop by Ontvangs. Dit is wel 'n 20 km rit na ontvangs (in een rigting). Die paaie rondom en in die Park is tans verspoel op plekke en sal aanbeveel dat mens met minimum 'n 2x4 voertuig dit aanpak. Ons moes selfs met 'n 4x4 voertuig op verskeie kere omdraai omdat dit nie moontlik was om aan te hou ry nie. Dit vat ook heelwat langer om van een punt tot 'n volgende te kom en mens moet daarvoor beplan. Dit sou baie help as Ontvangs kon aandui met ons aankoms watter paaie nie toeganklik is nie. Die brug tussen Tankwa en Calvinia is verspoel en glad nie toeganklik nie (selfs met 'n bekwame 4x4 voertuig) ten spyte dat Ontvangs steeds aandui dat mens met die pad tot by Calvinia kan kom. Middelpos het al vir meer as 'n jaar nie brandstof nie, ten spyte daarvan dat dit genoem word as een van die naaste plekke waar mens brandstof kan kry. Gannaga Lodge het blykbaar 'n brandstoftenk, maar ons het dit eers later uitgevind en kan nie bevestig dat dit die geval is nie. Ons het die kraanwater gedrink sonder probleme, maar sou aanbeveel mens vat jou eie water as mens nie gewoond is aan die smaak nie. Die eenheid was toegerus met alles wat ons nodig gehad het! Daar is sonpanele so elektrisiteit was nie 'n probleem nie. Pak definitief 'n verkyker en voëlboek in! En doen navorsing oor die natuurlewe voor die tyd omrede daar nie opvangs is nie, en baie interessante natuurlewe is waarvan mens meer gaan wil weet.

Adventurous.

Our accommodation was perfectly located in the Park with a beautiful view. What would make our holiday better is to be better informed by Reception about the following: There is no reception in and around the Park, although there is Wi-Fi at Reception. One can also buy (very good!) wood at Reception. It is a 20 km drive to reception (one way). The roads around and in the Park are currently washed out in places and would recommend that you tackle it with at least a 2x4 vehicle. We even had to turn around with a 4x4 vehicle on several occasions because it was not possible to continue driving. It also takes a lot longer to get from one point to the next and you have to plan for it. It would help a lot if Reception could indicate on our arrival which roads are not accessible. The bridge between Tankwa and Calvinia is washed out and not accessible at all (even with a capable 4x4 vehicle) despite Reception still indicating that you can get to Calvinia by road. Middelpos has been without fuel for over a year, despite being listed as one of the closest places to get fuel. Apparently Gannaga Lodge has a fuel tank, but we only found out later and cannot confirm that this is the case. We drank the tap water without problems, but would recommend taking your own water if you are not used to the taste. The unit was equipped with everything we needed! There are solar panels so electricity was not a problem. Definitely pack binoculars and bird book! And research the wildlife ahead of time because there is no catch, and there is a lot of interesting wildlife that you will want to know more about.

Pity about the electricity. You said it had paraffin lamps. There was even a TV.

The road from Ceres was awful. Had not been graded for ages and was very badly corrugated. We left via the Calvinia entrance. Much better. Even the Sutherland entrance/pass was badly stoned due to flood damage. I thought I had booked a 2 bedroom unit but it only had 1 bedroom.

Verblyf was fantasties.

Die toestand van die paaie binne die park was uiters swak en dit is 'n skande dat 'n nasionale park se paaie in so 'n swak toestand is. As gevolg daarvan sal ons nie weer die park besoek of dit aanbeveel nie.

The condition of the roads within the park was extremely poor and it is a shame that a national park's roads are in such poor condition. As a result, we will not visit the park again or recommend it.

Wonderlike rusplek!

Ons het heerlik gekuier by die SANParks Elandsberg Wilderness Camp - die geriewe was baie skoon, netjies en gerieflik en die ontvangs was vriendelik. Dit is werklik 'n wonderlike rusplek en wegkomplek. Ons enigste negatiewe kommentaar is dat die paaie uiters sleg is - beide die toegangspaaie (almal grondpaaie) na die park en die paaie binne in die park. Die kamp se kaart dui paaie aan as 'sedan roads', 2x4-paaie en 4x4-paaie - tensy die paaie nie dringend reggemaak word na die goeie reën aan die einde van 2021 nie, sou ons nie aanbeveel om die park te besoek met 'n sedan nie. Sekere van die 2x4 paaie was selfs onbegaanbaar vir 'n nuwe Land Rover Defender.

Wonderful resting place!

We had a great time at the SANParks Elandsberg Wilderness Camp - the facilities were very clean, tidy and comfortable and the reception was friendly. It is truly a wonderful place to rest and get away. Our only negative comment is that the roads are extremely bad - both the access roads (all dirt roads) to the park and the roads inside the park. The camp's map indicates roads as 'sedan roads', 2x4 roads and 4x4 roads - unless the roads are urgently fixed after the good rains at the end of 2021, we would not recommend visiting the park with ' not a sedan. Some of the 2x4 roads were even impassable for a new Land Rover Defender.

Ideaal vir 'n langnaweekwegbreek sonder selfoonopvangs.

Die eenhede is goed toegerus met skoon beddegoed en handdoeke. Die kombuis is volledig toegerus met die al die nodige. As jy hou van 'n ordentlike wynglas, kan jy saamvat. Die braaigereedskap is die basiese. Ek pak maar altyd 'n rooster en braaigereedskap in want gewoonlik het die roosters al beter dae gehad. Daar is 'n ordentlike sonkragstelsel. Die familie eenheid wat ons gehad het, het dakwaaiers in gehad in die twee kamers en in die sitkamer area. Die swembad(jie) was vol en mooi skoon. Wees spaarsamig met die krag anders loop jy uit krag uit. Die dakwaaiers kon ons egter deur die nag laat loop aangien dit 42 grade deur die dag was. Onthou van die parkfooie as jy nie 'n Wildcard het nie.

Ideal for a long weekend break without cell phone reception.

The units are well equipped with clean bed linen and towels. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. If you like a decent wine glass, you can go along. The grilling tools are the basic ones. I always pack a grill and grilling tools because usually the grills have seen better days. There is a decent solar power system. The family unit we had had ceiling fans in the two rooms and in the lounge area. The pool(s) was full and pretty clean. Be sparing with the power or you will run out of power. However, we were able to run the ceiling fans through the night as it was 42 degrees during the day. Remember about the park fees if you don't have a Wildcard.

Die wooneenhede is wonderlik geleë om redelike privaatheid te skep en die uitsig oor die berge is asemrowend. Sterrekyk in die aand is uit die boonste rakke. Die stilte en die nag se donkerte is 'n ervaring op sy eie.

Oordonderende vrede, rus en stilte, maar 'n bande-breker-pad.

Daar is nou 10 huisies en nie meer die 5 soos op die kaarte en webwerwe aangedui nie, SANParks moet dit asb opdateer. Kwaliteit, ligging en geriewe is uitstekend, jy hoef niks saam te bring behalwe kos, verversings en ys nie. Huisies het nou almal TV's met beperkte DStv ook. Slaap en sitvertrekke het dakwaaiers wat goed werk en daar is muurproppe in al die vertrekke (weet nie waarvoor nie). Ligte, yskas en mikrogolf werk van 'n battery en sonpaneelstelsel af. Die laaste 100 km grondpad nadat jy van die Ceres Karoo-pad afdraai na die park is uiters gehawend (erge sink en skerp klippe) - maak seker jy het 2 spaarbande, kompressor, bande afgeblaas na rondom 1.5 bar en 'n puncture repair kit wat nie te diep weggepak is nie. 20 tot 40km/h vir die laaste 80km is veilig. SANParks moet oorweeg om die pad bietjie op te knap. Andersins is dit mooier as op die foto's.

Tremendous peace, rest and quiet, but a tire-breaker road.

There are now 10 houses and no longer the 5 as indicated on the maps and websites, SANParks should please update this. Quality, location and facilities are excellent, you don't need to bring anything except food, refreshments and ice. Houses now all have TVs with limited DStv too. Bedrooms and sitting rooms have ceiling fans that work well and there are wall plugs in all rooms (don't know what for). Lights, refrigerator and microwave operate from a battery and solar panel system. The last 100 km of dirt road after you turn off the Ceres Karoo road to the park is extremely battered (severe sinkholes and sharp rocks) - make sure you have 2 spare tyres, compressor, tires deflated to around 1.5 bar and a puncture repair kit which not packed away too deeply. 20 to 40km/h for the last 80km is safe. SANParks should consider renovating the road a bit. Otherwise it is more beautiful than in the photos.

We had a wonderful stay.

Some feedback would be to let guests know that should they need assistance that there is a central radio station up the road, as the reception is at least 21 km from the chalets. Our electricity went off on the Thursday night at 22:00 and we didn't know that we had a problem. We had a beautiful full moon that night so we had moon light. Like some lodges we have stayed at before the electricity goes off at 22:00 so we thought it was the same. We had no electricity. The chalets are set in a beautiful setting, very comfortable and nicely appointed. The plunge pool was wonderful after a hot day in the car, and to just chill and soak up the environment. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility. What a stunning outlook for a real break from civilization. We will be back for another visit.

SANParks Elandsberg Wilderness Camp 's response

Good day Linda,
Thank you so very much for your valuable feedback, we really appreciate it and take it to heart.
We will ensure that full information regarding the central radio station is provided to guests when they check-in at the lodge. I am sorry to hear that there was no electricity, this will be investigated.
I am happy to find that, under the circumstances, you still had a lovely time and we hope to accommodate you real soon again.
Kind Regards,
SANParks

Die ligging van die verblyf is baie spesiaal en die privaatheid is ook baie goed.

Ek sou voorstel dat daar moeite gedoen word om die swembad skoon te hou. Ons wou graag die swembad benut, maar kon nie, want dit was vuil en die water was groen, so nie baie aangenaam. Daar was geen opwas lappie of sponsie. Daar was geen seep in die toilet of stort. Daar kan dalk ook bietjie meer moeite gedoen word met afstof van die banke, nie net bolangs nie.

The location of the accommodation is very special and the privacy is also very good.

I would suggest that an effort is made to keep the pool clean. We wanted to use the pool but couldn't because it was dirty and the water was green, so not very pleasant. There was no dishcloth or sponge. There was no soap in the toilet or shower. Perhaps a little more effort could be put into dusting the benches, not just at the top.

Goeiemiddag Lana,

Baie dankie vir jou resensie. Dit is baie verwelkomend om jul konstruktiewe terugvoering in te neem. Ek is dus geweldig jammer dat die swembad nie gepas was om te gebruik gedurende jul verblyf hier op Elandsberg Wildernis Kamp nie. Aangaande die tekortkominge in jul verblyf, ons sal verseker dat die huishouding daarvan bewus gemaak word en dus verseker dat goenoegsame produkte vir ons gaste beskikbaar gestel word om hul verblyf te vergemaklik. Dit sal die nethuid insluit.

Weereens, baie dankie. Ek waardeer dit.
Vriendelike Groete,
SANParke

Rustige Karoo-ervaring.

As jy die Karoo se uitgestrekte ooptes geniet, is Elandsberg die plek vir jou. Algemene instandhouding/netheid van wooneenhede is nie op standaard nie, groen plaspoele en voëlmis op meubels kan vir seker skoongemaak word alvorens gaste intrek!

Peaceful Karoo experience.

If you enjoy the Karoo's vast open spaces, Elandsberg is the place for you. General maintenance/cleanliness of residential units is not up to standard, green puddles and bird droppings on furniture can be cleaned for sure before guests move in!

Our stay at Elandsberg was enjoyable, and the setting was lovely.

However the roads in the south-west section of the park were atrocious, and clients need to be warned about this. The park officials need to grade the roads as unofficial slip roads have been created parallel to the road as alternatives. Presumably by frustrated travelers. I would suggest that they inform their guests about the check-in times. Particularly on Sundays which is an hour earlier. We were not aware of this and only just made the office in time. It would have also been helpful if we had also been given approximate travel times, warned about the roads, and that the distanced quoted require to be allocated additional time due to the bad gravel roads. The directions quoted, from Calvinia, in my confirmation letter were incorrect, it recommended the road was given as the R354 and not the R355. Fortunately, the phone number given was correct, and I was able to get confirmation on this. However, it was a stressful time as there was no cell contact for much of the trip from Calvinia.

We loved the Tankwa and our little cabin, our stay was just way too short!

I think it would be a good idea to let people know how remote it is. Our GPS told us 2 and a half hours and it took us 7! The directions on the website took us the longest route and were definitely not the best or quickest way to get to our accommodation or the SanParks Office.

Peaceful, wonderful views, fantastic facilities, relaxing, enjoyment of nature.

The facilities are wonderful, considering that the units are solar powered. Each unit is very private and the views are phenomenal. My only comment would be that the SANParks should just put up more notices about which electric devices can and cannot be used at the same time, as we tripped the power at night by using the microwave as well as having the fridge/freezer plugged in, which meant we had no power until the next day when the sun rose on the panels and the storage battery reset itself. However, the staff were very helpful when we did need them to come and look at the storage battery.

Die regte plek om te ontsnap van die roesemoes van die daaglikse lewe en net die natuur in te drink.

Die park en fasiliteite word baie goed onderhou - 'n ervaring om met vriende en familie te deel.

The right place to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life and just drink in nature.

The park and facilities are very well maintained - an experience to share with friends and family.

Great accommodation and location in the wilderness.

Tankwa Karoo does not offer much if you are looking for wildlife, but offer loads of relaxation in a quiet wilderness setting. Great lodge accommodation with all the necessary facilities and luxuries.

Uitmuntende gesinsvakansie.

Ons het dit terdeë geniet, behalwe vir 3 papwiele op pad na ons bestemming, so ek raai enige toekomstige gaste aan om die nodige gereedskap daarvoor in te pak. Die huisie was goed toegerus en baie gemaklik, die enigste ekstra inpak-item wat ek vir toekomstige gaste aanbeveel is slippertjies, die kombuisvloer is uiters ongemaklik op die voete asook die stoep oppervlak, nie ek of my kinders kon sonder skoene daarop loop nie, wat gesorg het vir baie trane vanuit die 2 jarige gas!

Excellent family holiday.

We thoroughly enjoyed it, except for 3 flat tires on our way to our destination, so I recommend any future guests to pack the necessary tools. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable, the only extra packing item I recommend for future guests is slippers, the kitchen floor are extremely uncomfortable on the feet as well as the patio area, not me or my kids could walk on it without shoes, what has provided for many tears from the 2 year old guest!
