Donkieskraal Campsite

An amazing stay despite the extreme weather conditions.
So peaceful and such beautiful views from the landscape to the stars at night. We will definitely be back! Nicole thank you for making our stay comfortable and the great service 🤗

A truly incredible experience. I was not sure our 2 children - 6 and 8 - would be entertained but there is literally something to find under every rock or corner. Beautiful scenery. Comfortable rooms.

We had the most amazing time at Donkieskraal. The adventure actually started with the drive there. We took a wrong turn and ended up doing a bit of unexpected 4x4 driving… all while on a very full bladder. Lots of giggles and definitely a story we will never forget.

When we arrived, the experience only got better. We were warmly greeted and shown to our room, and what a room it was. A beautiful cave setting that felt completely unique. Sitting in the hot tub and having a braai under the bright stars was truly something special.

The staff were all incredible. We had the pleasure of interacting with the lodge manager and also spent time chatting with the owner, hearing her passion and vision for Donkieskraal. It really added another layer to the experience.

The cave excursion was absolutely amazing as well. Everything about the stay felt thoughtful and authentic.

What really stood out to us is the heart behind the place. It is clear that this is not about money but about preserving history, creating meaningful experiences, and leaving lasting footprints for visitors.

An unforgettable time. We will definitely be back. Just wow. All the way wow!!

This place was recommended to me by someone who has been there before.

It's a unique place with the chalets in the cave which has a different experience to it. You can also bring your own tents or they have pre-set up tents, besides the cave.

The caves are pricey but the experience is amazing. You have your own little place for the weekend with peace & quite with some small animals now & again popping around.

I did have bad experience with the communication at the place. There was no communication at all, even when you ask about the activities they do, such as Wild Life Tour, Cave drawings, Flower looking and Hike trails. I didn't get to experience any of that which is a disappointment.

I also never got to experience the Hot Tub that came with the cave for the weekend, which I know is an additional cost, but no communication from this place at all.

I would like to go back to this place despite disappointments, as we really enjoyed the vibe the place gives.
I do hope that you could work on communication before the couples arrive or on arrival at least. And if a private event is taking place, communicate that as well if other activities cannot be taken place.

Stayed in Eagles View room. Definitely recommend for a Great couples getaway or use camping sites with family and friends. Its an off grid site with minimal electricity, however theres clean drinking water available and hot water available for showers/dishes. No oven but you have a gas stove top and plenty of braai areas and a beautiful swimming pool, bar and function venue.
Mountains, hiking trails, nature and beautiful birds.
Preferably drive there in a bakkie, and remember your bug spray
We really enjoyed our stay
