Gatsrivier Holiday Farm | Pet-friendly

Description

Gatsrivier Holiday Farm offers a genuine escape into the vast, silent beauty of the Ceres Karoo. Situated on the banks of the seasonal Ongeluks River, this is a destination for the true nature lover and the self-sufficient adventurer. It’s a place to disconnect from the modern world and immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of the Karoo, its rugged landscapes, unique flora, and the breathtaking brilliance of its star-filled night sky.

The farm provides a selection of rustic, private campsites, each with its own unique character and sense of seclusion. Embracing a true off-grid philosophy, there are no electricity points at the sites. This invites a return to the simple pleasures of camping: evenings spent around a crackling campfire, telling stories, and enjoying the profound peace of the Karoo. The ablution facilities are thoughtfully designed for this environment, with gas geysers providing reliable hot showers.

The farm itself is a natural playground waiting to be explored. It is renowned for its excellent 4x4 routes, which offer a fantastic way to experience the dramatic scenery. Well-marked hiking and mountain biking trails also wind their way through the property, allowing you to get up close with the fascinating succulent Karoo vegetation. It’s an authentic and unforgettable retreat for those seeking adventure and solitude.

A majestic reminder of how small we are, and how strong and motivated our forefathers were to set out north. A peaceful holiday farm with a selection of houses with the basics (running water, toilet, fridge) to keep you comfortable. The quiet will overwhelm you, the blanket of stars will cover you, and you'll feel at peace again.

This is the best place to visit if you love nature and want to break away from the city and enjoy some peace and quiet. The people are very friendly and you feel welcome. There are a variety of 4x4 trails and different animals to see. Not to be missed!

10 000 hectare farm with 9 4x4 routes to explore. We also enjoyed the wide open spaces and large campsite.

We had a wonderful time! Peace and quiet at its best. The kids had a blast, it is safe so you don't have to keep checking on them. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a weekend away from everything. There is no cellphone reception and no electricity, so you can experience nature without any interruptions. The showers and toilets are very nice.

It is a very rustic camping site and well maintain and the camping sites are very big. If you looking for a very relaxing place to forget about city life, then this is the place. It's got gas showers and no power, need to be self sufficient with solar panels. Beautiful back karoo roads. They will see me again. Oops and a mountain bike dream and hiking and 4x4 route no charge.They also got a beautiful honesty pub and a lapa to use.
