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!

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

Experienced a double booking
Before payment, we experienced an issue of double booking, where suddenly our chosen lodging is only available for 2 out of 4 days. I hope Safari.com can improve their system to avoid this in the future. While it will be an inconvenience on our part to have to move lodging half way, we also understand the high demand of the lodging as we make the booking just 5 months before departure. I really appreciate Nelia's quick action informing us and providing an alternative plan which works for us. Overall it was quite a smooth booking process.

Safari.com was helpful start to finish
Safari.com was helpful start to finish. The sign up process was clear, the support was great as we tailored our experience. Directions were perfect to get there. Everything in the safari was as we thought it would be and even better. It literally was the trip of a lifetime and exceeded our expectations.

A superb experience
Dear Jayson, You are a star. The very professional pieces of advice and the optimal design of the schedule that turned our holidays into an extraordinary experience. Thank you so much! Leopard Hills are indeed the boutique luxury camp that you recommended. People there are incredible friendly and knowledgable. The guide was excellent. And the cook, she was a friendly star too. The flight connections went well, despite that rather long drive, and the very early morning start. Wake up calls at 4 AM should be forbidden :) Mauritius was great, Club Med The Plantation Albion was the perfect choice. (The other Club Med @ Cannonier we visited only and were glad we didn’t chose that one…) Thank you again for the superb organisation.
