Escape to the authentic charm of a classic KwaZulu-Natal farm at Die Clivia Plaashuis. Situated just a short drive from Pietermaritzburg, this welcoming destination offers a genuine, unpretentious retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. The atmosphere is one of peaceful, farm-style hospitality, where you can relax, unwind, and reconnect with the simple rhythms of the countryside. This is not a polished resort, but a true farm experience, offering two distinct camping styles to suit both the traditional camper and the rugged adventurer.
For those seeking a classic and comfortable camping experience, the main area offers five lovely, shaded sites set on seasonal grass. To help preserve this pleasant environment, guests are kindly asked to use a net ground sheet. Each of these sites features its own braai facility (just remember to bring your own grid), with convenient water points located nearby. Power is available from shared posts, so be sure to pack a long extension cord to comfortably reach your ideal spot. It's the perfect setup for a relaxing and traditional family camping trip.
For the truly adventurous at heart, the exclusive 4x4 Bush Camp offers a more rugged and secluded experience. Accessible via a track best suited for off-road vehicles, the reward is an incredible off-grid sanctuary nestled near three tranquil dams. Here, you will find four private sites with no electricity, offering the perfect opportunity to truly disconnect. However, this doesn't mean a lack of comfort; a gas-powered geyser provides the wonderful luxury of a hot shower, and each site has access to a tap and a chemical toilet. It’s the ultimate escape for the self-sufficient camper seeking solitude and a deep connection to nature.
