Lonely Planet review
Highly recommended by readers, and rightly so. There are magnificent views, San rock art and hiking trails over 1000 hectares. Meals are available, and owner Linton Pope can arrange scenic flights. To find it, take the Algeria turn-off on the N7 and look out for the sign on the right.

Description provided by property
We have 3 charming cabins and 4 Safari tents as well as camping sites overlooking the valleys. We offer outstanding ablutions for both our male and female guests. Our land is so unspoilt by light that the stars are like 'diamonds on velvet' and one can see a shooting star every 10 minutes. In the winter months, we have an intricate floral kingdom astonishing in its delicate beauty. Populated by the Cape Leopard, Baboon, Antelope, Lynx and 165 bird species including the magnificient Black Eagles.
