Die Eike Tulbagh

Die Eike Tulbagh offers an exclusive and private getaway on a working fruit farm, located just nine kilometers outside the historic town of Tulbagh. This destination is designed for those who value solitude and a direct connection to nature, as it operates on a "one group at a time" booking model. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Witzenberg and Winterhoek mountains, the farm provides a serene environment where guests can experience the unhurried rhythm of agricultural life, from the passing of tractors to the seasonal harvesting of orchards.

The camping experience is split between two distinct sites, each catering to different preferences. Die Bos Kamp is nestled within an old forest section next to the Klein Berg River, offering a shaded and sheltered environment suitable for groups of up to 20 people. It features three electrical points (suitable for fridges but not high-wattage appliances) and a large central fire pit. For those seeking a more rugged and panoramic experience, Die Fynbos Kamp is located on a higher stretch of the farm near the landing strip. This smaller, off-grid site accommodates up to six people and offers breathtaking views of the Tulbagh Valley, though it requires high-clearance vehicles for access.

Facilities at Die Eike are practical and emphasize a rustic, outdoor lifestyle. Die Bos Kamp includes an ablution block with a shower and toilet powered by a wood-fired "donkey" boiler, while Die Fynbos Kamp features a hot water shower fueled by a gas geyser. Both sites provide private braai areas, though guests must be mindful of fire safety, particularly in the highly flammable fynbos areas. Activities range from mountain biking and walking through fruit orchards to birdwatching and stargazing. With its unique focus on exclusivity, the farm offers a grounded and restorative sanctuary for families and friends.
