Experience tranquility and privacy in nature on the Garden Route. A nature lover's retreat with birds and bushbuck coming down to the waters edge to drink. Nestled in amongst the milkwood trees the bushtent sleeps a maximum of 4 people, and comprises of a main room with a double bed and a smaller room with 2 single beds. It has adjoining toilet and shower facilities and a fully equipped kitchen. An outside braai /barbeque area on the deck is also right next to the kitchen. The tent is situated on a remote lake which entails a 15 min drive on a bumpy farm road. Take the paddleboat or a canoe out and toast the sun sinking over the mountains with a sundowner as the fish skip across the water. Take a deep breath and let the beauty of the surroundings settle over you. Pack a lunch and take the canoes exploring up the two river systems that feed the vlei, watch out for the bright flashing colors of the Knysna Loerie and the multitude of other birds that are found in this exquisite Eco-system
