THE CAMP

Soak up the views of the majestic Klein Drakensberg escarpment (for which Dragon Rock is named) with its red sandstone cliffs and stunning sunsets from the tented kitchen or the fire boma surrounded by rocks, while on the deck, loungers call for relaxation as the cool waters of the plunge pool beckon. Or go down a level for a different perspective and look east at the rising sun from the carved wooden comfort of an Ashanti stool outside the main tent to the accompaniment of a steaming cup of perfect plunger coffee. You’ll wish you never had to leave.

SLEEPING

King-sized bed (can be converted into two singles on request)

Two additional camper beds for children under 14 if required. 

LIVING

This tent is furnished with a king-size bed made up of glorious pure cotton linen, a ceiling fan, dressing area and gorgeous custom-made gowns, bathroom and swimming towels are provided. The beautiful bathroom features a large Italian shower, toilet positioned to benefit from the stunning views and a sliding door for privacy.

The separate tented kitchen is well equipped with a two-plate stove, full-size fridge and all utensils, crockery and cutlery. Please note there is no microwave or oven.

The sleeping and kitchen tent each have sides that can roll up with insect gauze remaining, so one can be in the bush without the restriction of ‘walls’.

Even though this camp is self-catering, at an additional cost, food shopping can be done on your behalf and delicious pre-prepared meals can be ordered, as well as a mouth-watering picnic basket for a day excursion.

Relax around your private fire pit or cool down in the inviting swimming pool and enjoy the views.

THE AREA

Located halfway between Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa, the farm lies just 40 minutes from the world famous Kruger Park’s Phalaborwa gate to the north, a bit over an hour’s drive from Orpen Gate to the south; and close to numerous other extraordinary destinations.

While you’re on our farm, however, it’s all about walking, mountain biking, or simply soaking up the incredible views from each site’s decks, surrounded by pristine bush and incredible birdlife — with the odd curious antelope venturing past.
