About This Property

We find this one of the most dramatic glamping settings in the Western Cape. The twelve tents sit between wind-carved sandstone boulders in the Agter-Pakhuis Valley, in the Rocklands area of the northern Cederberg Wilderness Area.

Classic tents sleep five, and premium tents are made for couples.

Why We Love It

Trails from camp lead past rock pools, San rock art and a waterfall, and the boulders draw climbers from all over the world.

In spring the valley fills with wildflowers.
