What our guests have said about this accommodation

Tanya de wet

There was not much game to view. The birdlife was interesting. The accommodation was clean.There were a lot of flies however.

Esther Eybers

Swimming facilities poor, toilets neat and clean

Jo Vergunst

We had a great time. Very peaceful.

Nicolene Vermeulen

Knowing the area we did not expect to have a great animal experience. This park attracts those who enjoy the outdoor tranquil experience. The chalets are well situated an looking over the Breede River, well equipped and very comfortable. We could have stayed another night! We saw Bontebok and Rooi Hartebeest and sat for 40 minutes watching a Secretary Bird find his dinner in the veld. That was an exceptional sighting whilst on the circle route between 6 and 7pm. The view of the Langeberg Mountains in the distance from my bed in the morning was lovely!

Mr C Haller

Our stay at Bontebok Park was very enjoyable and though there were not a lot of game to see, the facilities were exceptionally clean, the camp sites set out very well and the staff friendly and efficient. This has been our second camping trip at the park and we will return again and again because of the peace, the clean ablutions and the positive experience we've had. Thank you!

Beverly Senekal

The arrival was great and the park was fantastic.

Elmie van Zyl

We enjoyed our 4 day stay. Found that wild life very few. Only saw Bontebuck and one Zebra.Also no toilet facilities at river edge camp - which is a pity.Lovely place but need some money invested to make us come back.Thank youvan Zyl family

Erick Senekal

Lekke gekuier!

Braam de Vries

In short the reception were friendly and helpful. The camp properly maintained and clean.I will return to Bontebok park

Mike McCarthy

A warning about the rough roads could be given.We found walking the most enjoyable. The bird life is very good.The flowers are very difrent.A book on the Park, giving its history should be in the shop. I found one in Swellendam.Bird and flower books would be handy.We enjoyed our two day stay and could have made it three if we had the time.

William Wilkinson

The Chalet was beautiful. The setting was amazing. The service was great. I only had one problem and that was that the road from the reception office to the chalets were in a horrible state. My poor Golf got a couple of scratches underneath and on the side of its body, but other than that there were no problems.

Heather Dukas

The accommodation was spotless and well appointed. The chalet was well stocked with crockery and cutlery. The walks were well kept and signposted and the gardens well maintained - overall it was one of the best camps and reserves we have seen for a very long time. The staff were friendly and the only drawback was they serviced the units very late in the day ( afternoons) and we told them to leave ours as we wanted to relax. They also wanted to change the towels daily which is nice but not eco-friendly and not Parks Board policy. We told the staff when we left what a wonderful experience we had had; the place itself is lovely (on the Breede River), the birds (50 species identified), the buck and tortoises were great - a good place to go to relax! Will definitely go again!

Marinus van den Berg

I'm actually not sure if this is such a good idea to write this feedback. It is such a nice place, so close to Cape Town that it might mean that so much more people would want to go that I might struggle to have a nice break-away weekend. In a country where good service is very often a myth, it was so refreshing to arrive here on Friday and be greeted by the most friendly and competent staff.The park is stunning and everything is clean. We had such a wonderful time there and are already planning our return trip. Thank you SanParks

We booked one of the most beautiful trips we've ever had through Safari.com. The service was excellent and uncomplicated. They catered to special requests, booked additional flights, and the accommodation (Simbavati River Lodge) was simply unbelievably beautiful. Our expectations were far exceeded, and we can only recommend Safari.com. We will definitely book our next vacation through Safari.com and recommend it to our friends. Many thanks, Nelia & Catherine!
