Guest Reviews

• Ingo (10/5): Great experience behind the dunes - Great -
• David (9/5): Great outdoor experience with nature. Incredible beach vista - Great they they drove in a 4 x 4 to the location and spared our SUV in the sand
• marc (8/5): Nature - Location -
• Jacob Petrus (9/5): Beautiful getaway for maximum tranquility. - Location was excellent, and overall engagement, information and assistance by staff led to a wonderful experience.
• Simonetta (10/5): The best place to spend a weekend away from everything - Originality, isolation, full immersion in nature. Nothing
• Maxine Meiring (9/5): -
• Carlo (5/5): - Ocean was beautiful Tent had a very bad smell coming from under the fridge
• Kealan (10/5): Peaceful, blissful and the stars in the night were awesome - This place was awesome can't wait to go back n/a
• Jonathan (9/5): - The Beach
• Thomas (10/5): The perfect peaceful getaway. - The perfect place to switch off, as there are no distractions for miles around. Very friendly hosts and the grounds feel very secure. The beach is breathtaking—incredibly long, and you have it all to yourself. -
• Uneke (9/5): Most beautiful sunset. Everything you need, tent was clean and very comfortable. Rashid was amazing, thank you. -
• Geoffrey (8/5): -
• Sarah Booysen (10/5): - It was pure bliss!
• Davies (10/5): Beautifully styled, incredibly comfortable and perfectly positioned. Peaceful, private and ideal for switching off and s - The luxury tent and the location. Absolutely nothing
• Renier (10/5): -
• Anton (9/5): -
• Simon (10/5): Huge beach and the sound of waves to lull you to sleep - The isolation, the silence, the stars and the endless beach (with) seals. The tent was well equipped, fridge, hot water, multiple power points and the bed was very comfortable.They helped with lowering the tyre pressure on the Hilux for the short drive over the sand to the tent. Internet available from the top of sand dune (MTN). The Vodacom network is stronger. The phone system for opening the gate into the property, which in my case didn't work, but that was soon sorted out.
• martin (10/5): Basic but well equipped on a beautiful spot close to the ocean where we watched a nice sunset - Unieke plek, zoals er nog maar weinig zijn. Vlakbij prachtig strand midden in zanderig ‘fijnbos’. Slapen in een luxe tent op zo’n winderige plek, was een erg bijzondere ervaring. Geen idee
• Wolfaardt (10/5): - We loved the quiet and private spaces. The tents was fully equiped with all we needed. The staff and hosts were amazing! We will go back.
• Hanlie (8/5): -
• Wagner (10/5): -
• Belinda (10/5): -
• Koos (5/5): remoteness, and distance from the other people is perfect. Facilities fall short. - perfect location. I cannot fault the location and privacy. the short walk/drive to the beach, and the remoteness was exactly what I was looking for. a few small things that one expects to work better. the toaster trips the power. The pipe of the shower head is too short. this causes the head to work at maximum angle. The water hit the bottom of the door and leak all over the floor. The short pipe makes showering difficult as you have to stand against the back wall to wash your hair. for the price, I expect to have good wifi in my unit. the technology is available; it must be installed. working space is only the small area in front of the microwave. if you want to use the microwave, you need to find space for the stuff. the bed. the mattress is worn out. It needs replacement. there are a few other niggles, but these are the main items. This place advertises as a "luxury tented accommodation. It is far from a luxury experience. the price is too high for what you get.
• Seelan (9/5): -
• Ansie (10/5): Peaceful and comfortabel getaway in beautifual natural surroundings, breathtaking beach!! Friendly! - The beauty of nature, and the birds. Rustic but comfortable stay, welcome board, chocolates, soft blankes and towels, sharp knives to use, lovely braai, warm showers, fairy lights!! Warm welcome and friendly staff. Taken to our cabin with their jeep! N/a
• Schindler (10/5): -
• Ruan (9/5): Privacy, close to nature and the beach, and lots of space. - Privacy, close to nature and the beach, and lots of space. A big bonus was that we can bring our dogs with. Can find fault, we had a great time. Some might complain that you need a 4x4 to get to your tent, we see it as part of the appeal.
• Michael (9/5): - Fantastic Location, beautiful, peaceful and amazing nature.
• Willie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nicholas (9/5): Superb -
• Lynette (7/5): Relaxing - Remote and beautiful Braai area needs attention
• Tommie (7/5): Good -
• Denise (10/5): Wonderful! - The tent was equipped with everything we needed. Location was great. Most beautiful sunset ever! Rashid was extremely helpful and friendly providing us with cold beer delivered to our door! Very peaceful place. Highly recommend staying there!
• Thomson (8/5): Very good -
• Dries (9/5): Great, secure, relaxing - The sound of the sea, relaxing
• Paul (10/5): Will be back - Absolute dream venue and perfect scenery
• Simon (8/5): Very good -
• Etienne (8/5): Very good -
• Elzette (10/5): Exceptional -
• Botha (10/5): Exceptional -
• Clint (9/5): Superb - It was relaxing and the tent had everything you needed. Nothing
• Mandy (9/5): Superb - Easy acess to the beautiful, long and private beach is very special. The owners and staff are very friendly. Nice touches like choccies and biscuits provided. Pleasantly comfortable for a tent! It was very windy and cool - perhaps some form of wind break barrier could be created for the tents.
• Jeanne (10/5): Dit was ‘n voorreg om die pragtige natuurskoon te kon beleef. - Pragtige skoon strande, ons kon die sonsopkoms waardeer. Daar was ook verskillende voëlspesies te sien op die strand. Kersdag het die dolfyne hulle verskyning gemaak en in die branders baljaar. Die selfoonopvangs is baie swak en dit kan ‘n probleem veroorsaak met die oopmaak en toemaak van die hek.
• Christel (8/5): Very good -
• Martin (4/5): Great location and staff, poor facilities - Location great Staff great Definitely not luxury tents, a total misnomer. Maybe basic tent accommodation Stairs leading to tent were on verge of collapsing!! Wash up area a mess, poor condition!! Barbeque area poorly positioned, braai drum not functional Poor to no wifi, terribly annoying and frustrating!! Shower is dysfunctional, either scalding hot or cold
• Ireton (10/5): Will def be back - Very remote and beautiful The drive from Cape Town took longer than expected but the place is great
• Bernard (9/5): Great, relaxing stay and we will be back for another visit. - The rooms and location was great. We had the entire Palace area, which had a great communal braai area and kitchen. Was not expecting to use the available wifi, but luckily we could stream the Boks vs Argentina game. The peace and quiet is what we needed and all you hear are birds and the ocean. The short hike over the dunes from the tents to the beach was quite enjoyable, which we did every day. Perfect place to take you dog along with lots of space, especially the beach. Would have been better if we had a 4x4 but being driven by the Rashied on his 4x4 from reception to our tent was also an adventure. Wood was also delivered to our tent when needed. Was not expecting to pay extra for our dog, but it was only R50/day. The no signal was a good thing overall, but needed to call when at the main gate which we could not do. Managed to get a signal eventually, which was good.
• Roy (9/5): Superb - Location was great and it was as though we had our own private beach. Bed was very comfortable and facilities were good. Nice challenge to get to and from tent using 4x4 due to thick sand. We also saw a whale in the early evening of our stay. Tent is in need of some TLC - zips on side windows
• Liza (10/5): Awesome host - Everything! Thanks for all the extras and special allowances, was not expected, but really much appreciated.
• Verster (10/5): Exceptional - It was luxurious stay close to the beach. It was a quiet stay with only the sound of the waves at night! The owner even invited us to come and watch the rugby! The terable storm that hit us Saturday night, but that is nature, nobodies fault!!
• Elmarie (8/5): Very good -
• Zoe (10/5): Luxury stay in the bush - Thank you so much for hosting us and my 2 spaniels. Rasheed was excellent and always available to assist. Very peaceful and stunning walks on an isolated beach. The tents are very well equipped, with electrical plug points.
• Juan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Leopold (10/5): Exceptional - It was a memorable experience that we got to share as a family. Beautifully free setting and feel. Unspoiled. Raw and majestic West Coast. Nada. Nothing. Niks.
• Warren (10/5): Peace, quite, serenity at a magnificent location - An excellent location with beautiful scenery, a magnificent stretch of beach and an array of birdlife. We enjoyed every second. The tent had many meaningful touches and was extremely comfortable and well-equipped. Rashid welcomed us and was an absolute ray of sunshine. Will we be back? Oh yes for sure!
• Karin (8/5): Location with a twist - Unique experience, peaceful allowing to be one with nature. The shower, challenging with the gas and too small.
• Jan (8/5): Very good - Location View fron specific tent.
• Paula (10/5): Wonderful, perfect stay inclusive clear view and living under the stars - The freedom of private open air living, with my pup Beautiful, in need of nothing, free to be, amazing staff
• Rolf (10/5): Excellent mid-week getaway! - Beautiful location and so close to the beach. We largely had the place to ourselves and definitely recommend going during the week. A lightly bigger work surface in the kitchen, though it isn't entirely necessary.
• Matthew (10/5): Exceptional -
• Charles (9/5): Superb -
• Ulande (10/5): Exceptional - Our tent was very private. Short walk (300m) to the beach. At night you can hear the waves. Perfect location if you want a quiet brake away. Lots of bird life. We loved our stay and will definately come back.
• Jeanri (10/5): Exceptional -
• Suzanne (8/5): Very good -
• Ecclesia (9/5): A peaceful gem in nature, perfect place to to charge your batteries. - Accommodation provides everything you need. It is clean, everything works and extremely comfortable. Views from the tent are beautiful. Beach is a short walk away. Staff are friendly and helpful. We will surely make a booking again . It is the perfect place to rest. N/A
• Nicola (10/5): We had a great time. We will definitely be back. It is an excellent place for a large group. - Magical spot to relax! Super friendly staff, we will definitely be back.
• Laurika (10/5): Simplicity is beautiful. - Fabulous rustic tents with everything you need. Showers are great!! Lovely getaway amongst the dunes for a couple of days. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nothing
• Fourie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Shaheed (9/5): Peaceful, Tranquil, Beautiful. - Amazing well equipped tenants in a peaceful quiet location directly behind the dunes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend! Nothing.
• Sarah-ann (10/5): Beautiful relaxing beach holiday - Location is beautiful, staff were accommodating and friendly! Will defiantly recommend and be back soon! The shower was a bit if a challenge as the water pressure dropped so the gas geysery turned off a few times per shower and could of done with some tongs to braai with. But these were small things, well worth it.
• Casper (10/5): Phenomenal. Would highly recommend - that fact that we were so isolated our bed was a bit too small haha
• Stefano (3/5): Poor - Rashid was an absolute pleasure to deal with while the owners were no where in sight. Location was not as perceived on the pictures on booking. Com. Pictures are misleading as I seemed that the Tents were on the beach but in actual fact they were behind dunes and the sea was no where in sight. Rashid told us that many people were under the impression that these were beach Tents.
• Eloise (10/5): Exceptional -
• Leona (10/5): fabulous!!! Definitely one of our favourite places -
• Richard (6/5): Windy, relaxing , we will do it again - It is something to experiment the sound of the waves In front of our tent was a few cement bricks to be used as steps. On the morning of departure it caved in on the sand and rolled over I fell and injured my knee and back (not serious but it could have be)
• Tiaan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sue (9/5): Loved it and would come back for a longer stay - Incredible beach a short walk over the dunes. Loved the sound of the waves at night. The people were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Be aware though that a vehicle with high clearance is essential to drive over the sand to get to the tents
• Moshe (10/5): Exceptional -
• Arno (9/5): Superb -
• André (9/5): Superb - A very special place to find some peace and quiet. We took a long walk along the beautiful, clean beach. The fire'pit' was great and although it was overcast and a little windy, it is well protected. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting by the fire & having a glass or two. The tent (Middle Fork) has everything you need. The warm shower & very comfortable bed meant we got a very good night's rest. Rashid was great and assist deflating the car's tyres & inflating again on our way out. We added this spot to our favourites list & will certainly be back. The only thing - next time it will be for a longer stay. Nothing - everything was as expected & more.
• Megan (10/5): Exceptional - We had a great stay! Theresa and Rashid were very helpful. The farm is beautiful. We'll definitely come again. Nothing!
• Riaan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dennis (7/5): Good - Off grid quietness. Sound of the sea. Nature. The cold
• Cristine (9/5): Superb -
• Gee (7/5): Very peaceful and relaxing holiday and the weather was great for us. - Very private tent right on the beach. Loved the braai area behind the tent and the firewood was the best we've ever used (bought there) The stairs leading up to our tent were not great. The bottom one sloped inwards and I fell (still suffering 2 weeks later). Our dog also refused to come up the stairs and would only enter the tent via the kitchen entrance.
• De (10/5): we enjoy every moment- we want to be on our own and we love the peace and tranquility - beautifull setting near the beach - very quiet nothing
• Mbedzi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Aj (9/5): Superb -
• Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Durr (10/5): Exceptional -
• Herman (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paul (9/5): Superb -
• Jonathan (10/5): Really appreciated the warm welcome from Rashid who consistently did everything to make our stay e - Beautiful location in the sand dunes a 7 minute walk to an incredible beach Nothing
• Lehmann (8/5): Very good -
• Ronel (9/5): Spectacular! Escape everything... - Loved the location - nothing and no one around to disturb ones peace and tranquility. The surroundings are beautiful, the beach is spectacular - goes on for miles with absolutely no human disruption. This is the place to recharge your soul. The hot water in the shower - difficult to pace - but the fact that one could have a lovely hot shower made up for the little bit of discomfort to get the water balance 100%
• Dalene (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alida (9/5): Absolute bliss with lovely staff, fully catered unit and private quiet beach. Was way to short. - The quietness, privacy, and closeness to the ocean There could be more than one chopping knife that's sharp to prep food with. There was only one. Would be advisable to let people know they'll b travelling about 28km on a dirt road. Not everyone wants to drive their little car on these roads. Also a sign or call button at gate, as there is no mobile reception and therefor guests wait outside gate up to an hour with the owners of venue not knowing you are there and no means to make contact. Some sign posting pointing you in correct direction to reception at gate of entry would also help. Its like arriving at dead man's door not knowing what to do or where to go. Bit frustrating after a 7hour drive.
• Fourie (10/5): One of the most amazing discoveries - The tent was a lot nicer than I expected, with a proper bathroom, little kitchen, and barbecue area in the back. The geyser provided proper hot water in sufficient quantities for a good shower. The place is on solar power, so Load shedding, which is an issue in South Africa, did not affect us. There was very little cell phone signal, which gave me a great excuse to be off-line. This instantly has become one of my favourite holiday spots ever. The beach stretches endlessly in both directions, and in our whole time there we saw one other person. The only one, very slight disappointment, was that from the photos we thought the tents were overlooking the sea, when, in fact there is a dune between the tents and the sea. However, in hindsight, I think it's actually a blessing because the wind off the sea becomes icy cold at night, and the dune provides nice protection.
• Paul (9/5): Superb -
• Robert (8/5): Very good -
