Otium Oasis Glamping & Camping

Second time here , just an entirely different vibe. Loved the whole experience. Weather didn't do anything to impact our time there , weather was only an issue the day we left ( today ) , spent most of the time in the hot tub or under the blankets with the electric blanket so didn't really see any animals like the zebra , the pig and only saw 2 springbok as we were leaving. Place still has everything you need, we didn't want for anything. I wish check in could be earlier and check out could be later , was increasingly hard to get my but out the bed this morning.

Unfortunately the road to Caledon , after a storm it is No other way to put it DANGEROUS and TREACHEROUS, we loved the quiet solitude of Otium during off season but not at the expense of our lives. At one point our car got stuck in a ditch and my husband had to get out and push the car etc. To get it out , on our way out of the dirt roads an entire rescue project was happening to unstick a farmers tractor and trailer that was also in a bigger ditch. We will come back to Otium just not during winter , you need an all wheel drive and nerves of steel.

The venue was great, the accommodation was clean and very comfortable with everything we could need. The hot tub was perfect. The braai area was perfect with the fairy lights being a lovely touch!! Our hosts were very kind and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay!!

The only problem was the campers playing music till late at night on our last night.

It is close enough to travel out of town, but far enough and private enough to get out of the busy city life. the nature and animals was a bonus! feeding a tame Zebra is an absolute priveledge.

My own mistake was not preparing well enough for self-catering. we had everything even complimentary coffee and rusks, but forgot spices and basics like salt and pepper. even though the hosts was so friendly and I'm sure they'd supply us with it if we had asked, thats on me. however a basic salt and pepper shaker could've helped me out a bit.

Everything

It was a comfortable and quiet stay. Everything we needed was provided, and the hosts were great and very welcoming.
