Wild Rescue Nature Reserve

The remoteness of the property and its location were amazing. Just a few kilometres off the main road, and you were in a remote, beautiful and quiet part of the world surrounded by nature. The host couldn't have made us feel more welcome, inviting us to use her home, as our own. It's a rustic property that allows you to feel immersed into nature and involved with their rescue programme, working closely with Cape Nature. Our room had electricity, however there are two cottages a little further than the main house which are completely off the grid, and we'd love to return, and stay in one of these. We enjoyed a 3-night stay, and felt like family when we left.

Unfortunately, as we were travelling by heavily laden motorbike (cruiser) we found the 8km gravel road to the location a little corrugated and rough for the road bike.

We had a wonderful one-night stay at this wild nature reserve. The surroundings were incredibly peaceful, and we really appreciated being immersed in nature – it felt like a true escape. Gill and Brenda were fantastic hosts: very friendly, welcoming, and informative, which made the experience even more special. It’s worth noting that the reserve is quite isolated, and the gravel road leading there is a bit bumpy, especially if you’re driving a non-4WD or compact car. That said, it didn’t detract from our stay at all. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would happily stay again.

No electricity and was extremely hot - did not know it was thatched roof and i am allergic. Within 10 min i had to use my asthma pump - also got bitten by something within 5 min

Unmatched serenity! Zero light pollution and vast starry night sky. Beautiful fynbos and walking trails. Cottage was very comfortable and made one feel like stepping back in time.
