Bush cabins

FULL MOON BUSH CAMP

Lovely secluded bush camp with lapa and pool, overlooking a field that stretches down to Vaal riverside paths and our shady deck. The thatched A-frames have electricity, fans, heaters and lights. Bedding provided.

The lower cabins consist of 3 units with 3, 3 and 4 beds (more can be added) along with an ablution unit. The social lapa has a fire circle, freezer, fridge, hotplate, kettle, kitchen and braai area. The 3 cabins are rented as a unit and we do not mix groups without agreement. The three thatched A-Frame cabins are Caracal (accommodating 4 adults); Malachite (2 and a child); and Pangolin (2 and a child). These look out over a lawn towards the swimming pool and riverbanks 150 metres below.

The bush camp gets its name from the spectacular moon-rises which are seen from the pool area and koppie. From the bush camp, sally forth to fish the river, raft the rapids or canoe among the islands, mountain bike in the mountains, or visit the coffee bars and art shops of Parys. Or if you prefer, just lounge by the lovely rock pool. The camp is popular with outdoor lovers, from mountain bikers to flyfishermen. It is comfortably appointed lights and running water.
