So cool!
This place is amazing! My wife and I had such a wonderful time over New Year’s Eve. It’s close enough to civilization to be convenient and yet you feel completely tucked away when you’re there. Such a cool concept too, you feel like you’re in a kid’s adventure movie. Perfect for couple’s, families and digital nomads.

Amazing Camp
We had the most unbelievable stay at Camp Canoe! The views over the Winelands and beyond are breathtaking, best viewed from the cool hammocks. The tents are luxurious but also feel close to nature – we even saw a Cape genet one night from the hot tub! The beds are so warm and comfy and the personal touches, like marshmallows in the tent, make it even more special. What a beautiful and unique place this is.
