For the true nature lover who seeks an authentic, rustic, and unforgettable escape, Nona Rosa Bushcamp is the answer. This is not a polished resort; it is a genuine bush camp that takes you back to a world of peace, tranquility, and profound quietness. Situated on a beautiful farm on the banks of the Slang River, at the very beginning of the Garden Route, it’s a place designed for the adventurous spirit. As the hosts honestly and proudly state, it is not a destination for the faint-hearted.
The journey to the camp is part of the adventure. Due to the rugged farm roads and the type of terrain, this is a destination that cannot easily accommodate normal motorcars or traditional caravans. It’s a place best reached by those with 4x4s, bakkies, and off-road trailers, a natural filter that ensures your fellow campers are like-minded adventurers who appreciate the wild. The experience is intentionally and beautifully off-grid, with no electricity to spoil the natural ambiance and no cellphone reception in the camp itself.
The heart of the camp is a magnificent, oval wooden lapa with a large fireplace and braai area, providing the perfect, sheltered social hub for your group. The ablution facilities are a charming, thatched-roof wooden hut, offering the simple but profound luxuries of fresh drinking water, two hot showers, and two flush toilets. For larger groups, a separate ablution block with a classic donkey geyser is also available. It is this unwavering commitment to an authentic, rugged, and deeply peaceful bush experience that makes Nona Rosa a truly special and sought-after destination.
