Description

!Xairu Tradu is a tented bush retreat that offers an environmentally conscious, authentic experience in a rustic bush camp. The camp site is situated on a small working farm, 28 km from Swellendam and 256 km from Cape Town.

Accommodation is offered in 3 rustic tents and a cabin, where guests can enjoy a comfortable bed without the fuss of pitching their own tent. Each tent has 2 single beds or a double bed, a fully equipped kitchenette, an en-suite bathroom, a gas stove and water geyser, and ample braai wood at the external braai facility.

Alternatively, guests can bring their own utensils and equipment for one of the 2 basic, pre-pitched tents located beside a fire pit. These tents have access to communal rustic facilities close by.

The campsite is completely off-grid, with rain-harvested water, solar-powered lighting and water heating, composting toilets, and no fridges or cell phone reception. However, there is fresh air, shade, firewood, and peace and quiet, as well as the odd bug, mosquitos, honey bees, chirping of birds, frogs, baboons, otters, hooting owls, and the odd meandering farm animal to contend with.

There are more than 100 species of birds, including blue cranes, hummingbirds and raptors in the area, as well as Cape clawless otter, Cape fox, scrub hares, Angulate tortoise, grysbok, southern rock agama, bats, and mongooses that share the space with the chickens, sheep and cattle on the farm.

For the adventure-seekers, explore the hectare of ploughed and unploughed fields, little forests and orchards, hike the many trails, hire a horse, or bring your mountain bike. There are various daily excursions in the surrounding area for guests to enjoy. Attend a local art class, a bread-baking course, a Renosterveld conservation tour, bush yoga, or sample some locally distilled Limoncello liquor, Kombucha or farm cooking.
