Jamaka Organic Farm is a family run organic citrus and mango farm offering accommodation in ten cottages and in a popular riverside campsite. The farm is situated only 230 km from Cape Town in the Ceder Mountains.
The 10 self-catering cottages can sleep four to 14 people each. The shaded campsites are located on the banks of the Rondegat River and have braai areas and a number of natural rock pools nearby for swimming.
The farm offers a variety of hiking trails starting from the campsite and the waterfall at Algeria and the Bushman paintings on the neighbouring farm are popular attractions. The Wolfberg Cracks, Wolfberg Arch, Maltese Cross and Stadsaal Caves can easily be reached from here. Donkey cart rides are popular for kids and adults and are available over weekends and peak periods.
"The accommodation was perfectly suited for our needs. Clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The owners are really friendly and helpful, and of course the views are breathtaking. We loved every moment and will definitely be back."
"We loved everything of the place, cannot fault anything, the place was exactly what we wanted and was looking for as a weekend away with family.Just put fireplace in lounge would be a awesome finish Will definitely be back to spend a much longer period."
"We enjoyed the hot weather, tranquil surroundings and the friendly hosts."
"Die 25 kg slegte grondpad na die plaas was nie lekker nie. Dit het ons 2 keer laat dink voor ons gery het. Die huisie is oulik maar kort aandag. Die beddens was hol en die linne oud en afgeleef. Slegs 1 kussing per bed."
"Candles for blackout and ice-trays."
"We had a lovely 3 days at Jamaka Campsite over the long weekend.<br/><br/>The owners were friendly, helpful and very quick to act when we had issues with another campsite playing music until late.<br/><br/>The site's themselves were lovely, lots of shade and decent privacy considering the campsite was completely full.<br/><br/>We will certainly be coming back :)"
"Very, very nice camping spots. Enjoyed our stay thoroughly and will definitely go back."
"We stayed at one of the cottages at Jamaka farm. While the view from the house is breathtakingly beautiful unfortunately I cannot say the same for the condition of the chalet. The furnishings were sparse mismatched and outdated. The bed and bedding were terrible and totally unacceptable. The chalet is advertised as fully equipped but no towels were supplied. No special touches not even complimentary shampoos). The house was located on the farm which was terribly untidy. No activities on the farm besides a pool with absolutely no shade and located too close to the office with no privacy at all. I would not recommend this particular cottage to anyone."
"Wat 'n onvergeetlike oorslaap. So gerieflik vir 'n kothuis tussen niks en nrens. We had a wonderful evening and morning!"
"I would love to recommend Jamaka - the setting is exquisite, the owners (the Niewoudt family) are charming, the cottage was fine EXCEPT for the following, which I feel require attention:1. The electrical equipment in the kitchen was impressive, but the other equipment was lacking, eg. no frying pan, etc.2. No towels were supplied and no mention of this was made even after my personal enquiry as to the self-catering facilities. Admittedly, on request we were given towels, but I found this embarrassing.3. The bed and mattress were unacceptable.4. Nice diningroom table and chairs and excellent fireplace, but no lounge chairs to sit round the fire We had to use the diningroom chairs. Also no carpet or mats, just cold, tiled floor.I never complain (having run a 21-bedroom 4-star hotel myself for over 10 years some years ago) and this is not meant as a complaint, but I am saddened that I cannot recommend Jamaka to friends for the reasons stated above, which could be so easily remedied."
"We stayed one night at the new campsite, all the other campers were at the old campsite. Wonderful clean facilities. Truly enjoyed it."
"Warm welcome, great value for money, fantastic nature."
