'n Stukkie hemel op aarde, behalwe vir die lastige bobbejane.

A piece of heaven on earth, except for the pesky baboons.
Our family of four camped here for 3 days and didn't want to go home. The campsites are spacious and almost all under trees, so you feel part of the forest. The kitchen and bathrooms are very neat and clean, with the best showers of our trip. However, the baboons who walk into the camp out of nowhere in the morning are a big problem. Even though we tried to put away all food, one still grabbed our biscuit tin and ran off with it. They are not at all afraid of especially younger children, and my youngest was really afraid to stay at the tent alone in the morning if we might have to go to the bathroom. Despite the fact that we locked all the food in the wagon when we went to Storms River, the baboons unzipped our tents and among other things took my whole

Very nice.
Very nice. Just a pity we had to ask for a grill, wine glasses and barbecue utensils. It was always there. They also did not sweep the cottage or porch during our stay. Other than that, everything was wonderful and beautiful.

Stay away Unprofessional. Confused. Circus.
Absolute circus to try to make any arrangements with the stay. We got there on February 5th at 11h55 and according to their records there was no reservation for us. They did have "loadshedding" during that time and informed us that their system would arrive 5 minutes later, and that they would "double-check" again and let us know only after 12h00. Bear in mind that we walked the Otter for 5 days, and were quite tired and sore by then. Another hour passed without any feedback, and we just fell into the road to look for alternative accommodation in Plett. 2 hours later they then let us know that they were through each other, and that the booking is indeed our way. Terribly unprofessional and definitely not a pleasant experience. Hope I never have to cross paths with them again. Accommodation was already paid, and lost everything.

It was okay, but not worth the money or drive.
The chalets are awfully crowded, so if you want to get away and not feel compelled to talk to strangers, this is not the place to go unless you book both chalets, because between the 2 braai areas there is 1 table to be shared. Check-in times are quite late, only 2 hours, so if you want to do anything nice, just book 2 days or longer. We wanted to go for a hike, but we were told she would only give it to us the next day. SANParks in general are very good. I'd much rather go to Ebb & Flow for the money, but I don't think I'll go to Natures Valley Rest Camp again.

Beautiful.
Would have liked power connection at stand for fridge. Ablution was not clean with little space for clothes when showering. Garbage container at sites under trees not baboon-safe. Monkeys were troublesome and could not keep anything open.

Fantastic setting, but traumatic stay.
De Vasselot is currently managed by the baboons and monkeys of the area. Until Sanparke starts managing it, it cannot be recommended as a safe environment especially for children. The baboons and monkeys are not at all afraid of the people, and everything must be locked in your hut. Your food is grabbed by them even if you are inside the hut, and the door is open. They are not afraid of you, and do not stand back at all if you chase them away. They stole our food rations by gaining entry through a window, and sow chaos inside the hut. We couldn't let them go wild. If you are at the cabin, you must keep your doors and windows closed. Furthermore, the environment is fantastic, and there are wonderful hiking trails to do. It is a wonderland for the whole family, but unfortunately not safe because of the baboons.

Campers only.
The nature is clean and breathtakingly beautiful. We are unhappy about the ablution facilities that were not clean. Although we stayed in a cabin it would have been nice to have a fresh towel the next day due to the torrential rain the previous night/day. We are not dismissing it at all, just expected a bit more compared to other SANParks.
