    "Such a special place - in the mountains"

  • "Garden of Eden"

    19 February 2018

    "It was really a very nice spot, we were 10th febr 2018 and we had the camping site for ourselves. Only the house you can rent was also occupied. First we thought it was the reception, but we have to drive back to the main road and go to the first farm on the righthand side, about 2 km. It would be better to communicate it by the entrance of the gate. Overall, we had a pleasant stay in a awesome environment. And Ian, is a good guy, checking if everything is working."

    12 November 2016

    "Outstanding in every regard. Perfect location to follow on foot 5 of the reverses, including the tunnel at 6, on the Lady Grey Barkly East railway line. Expect every assistance from the owners to accomplish this endeavour. A memorable experience, well done Cloete family."

  • "Amazing Location"

    02 May 2016

    "Amazing location. I was surprised that the night temperature was not as low as I expected. Would however not recommend for someone with low-mid suspension vehicle/caravan; access road something of an adventure."
