Discover a true undisclosed gem hidden atop the beautiful Piketberg mountain. Kruistementvlei Farm is a special sanctuary for sincere nature lovers, a place where you can experience the full spectrum of an authentic, eco-friendly farm. This is a destination for those who seek to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with a more sustainable and elemental way of living. It's a place that thoughtfully caters to both the comfort-orientated traveler and the rugged adventurer, offering a unique spot for everyone to enjoy.
The camping experience is a wonderful celebration of rustic, off-grid living, designed for a single group to enjoy in complete privacy. There are no demarcated sites here; instead, you have the freedom to find your perfect spot in a beautiful, natural setting. The heart of the camp is the fantastic, fully equipped outdoor kitchen, a social hub complete with solar lighting, a two-plate gas stove, and all the essential utensils for a large group. It’s the perfect, sheltered space to prepare meals and share stories.
What truly defines the character of Kruistementvlei are its wonderfully authentic ablutions. Here, you will find the simple but profound pleasure of a hot shower, earned by firing up the traditional "donkey boiler" system. The two showers are famously open to the skies, offering the unforgettable experience of washing off the day's dust under a canopy of stars. The unique dry-sawdust composting toilet system gives you a chance to give back to the environment you are staying in - with no extra effort!
With no power points to create light pollution, the night sky reveals its full, breathtaking glory. It is this masterful blend of rustic charm, sustainable living, and thoughtful, communal comfort that makes this a truly special and memorable escape.
