!Khwa ttu in Jakkalsfontein Reviewed by Jennifer Fleetwood, South Africa on . Haven of tranquillityThis is a great place to spend a night or two. Staying at the guest cottage, you could be deep in the African bush, yet you are only a short distance from the main road, and only an hour or so from Cape Town. The staff are delightful, from the friendly and efficient Baby Rose to the trainee guides (and their instructor) who take guests on walks or tractor rides to learn more about the San people, their culture and medicinal herbs, and the environment. The restaurant is excellent and many people simply drive out from the city for lunch. It isn't open for dinner, though, so if you self-cater, bring food. The cottage is comfortable and has all the basics. Bring a torch.
!Khwa ttu in Jakkalsfontein Reviewed by louisa kemp, South Africa on . DisappointedGreat idea of a 'bush camp', but it would have been great to have been able to make a warm cup of coffee after travelling long hours. On the web page it is only the bush house that is advertised as 'solar heating' and on the 'features available' nothing is mentioned about'solar only' or 'bring your own camping equipment'. The tent no.2 that we were given was not in a good condition - the little solar lamp was out of order, the flaps/zips have been torn from the wind, the bedding smells like sweat and the tent leaks water! The female toilets doesn't have a hand towel (but the men's side does?); also no sanitary bins are provided - this is a basic addition to any ablution facility? VERY disappointing as we love the outdoors and camping.
