Volmaan in die Tankwa met 'n vuur op die stoep. Ons sal nooit die plek vergeet nie.

Full moon in the Tankwa with a fire on the porch. We will never forget the place.
Showers and open plains were something special. Pool was not the best for swimming, was very dirty, full of funny slime.

3 nights together family.
The accommodation is beautiful. The cottages do need some general maintenance. The pool net is rags and a danger to small children. The dirt roads are rough but are passable with tall vehicles.

Stay was fantastic.
The condition of the roads within the park was extremely poor and it is a shame that a national park's roads are in such poor condition. As a result, we will not visit the park again or recommend it.

Wonderful resting place!
We had a great time at the SANParks Elandsberg Wilderness Camp - the facilities were very clean, tidy and comfortable and the reception was friendly. It is truly a wonderful place to rest and get away. Our only negative comment is that the roads are extremely bad - both the access roads (all dirt roads) to the park and the roads inside the park. The camp's map indicates roads as 'sedan roads', 2x4 roads and 4x4 roads - unless the roads are urgently fixed after the good rains at the end of 2021, we would not recommend visiting the park with ' not a sedan. Some of the 2x4 roads were even impassable for a new Land Rover Defender.

Rustige Karoo-ervaring.

Peaceful Karoo experience.
If you enjoy the Karoo's vast open spaces, Elandsberg is the place for you. General maintenance/cleanliness of residential units is not up to standard, green puddles and bird droppings on furniture can be cleaned for sure before guests move in!

Luxurious and very secluded.
The unit was luxurious and beautifully equipped. The view is incredibly beautiful. It's wonderfully secluded and quiet. It's very safe. There is DStv but no reception. It's a pretty good dirt road but you have to drive a pickup or SUV vehicle. The Gannaga pass is terrifying but an adventure in itself!

Die ligging van die verblyf is baie spesiaal en die privaatheid is ook baie goed.

The location of the accommodation is very special and the privacy is also very good.
I would suggest that an effort is made to keep the pool clean. We wanted to use the pool but couldn't because it was dirty and the water was green, so not very pleasant. There was no dishcloth or sponge. There was no soap in the toilet or shower. Perhaps a little more effort could be put into dusting the benches, not just at the top.

SANParks Elandsberg Wilderness Camp 's response
Goeiemiddag Lana,
Baie dankie vir jou resensie. Dit is baie verwelkomend om jul konstruktiewe terugvoering in te neem. Ek is dus geweldig jammer dat die swembad nie gepas was om te gebruik gedurende jul verblyf hier op Elandsberg Wildernis Kamp nie. Aangaande die tekortkominge in jul verblyf, ons sal verseker dat die huishouding daarvan bewus gemaak word en dus verseker dat goenoegsame produkte vir ons gaste beskikbaar gestel word om hul verblyf te vergemaklik. Dit sal die nethuid insluit.
Weereens, baie dankie. Ek waardeer dit.
Vriendelike Groete,
SANParke

Amazing experience, stargazing was the best ever.
The residential units are wonderfully situated to create reasonable privacy and the view over the mountains is breathtaking. Stargazing in the evening is top notch. The silence and the darkness of the night is an experience in itself.

Good day Linda,
Thank you so very much for your valuable feedback, we really appreciate it and take it to heart.
We will ensure that full information regarding the central radio station is provided to guests when they check-in at the lodge. I am sorry to hear that there was no electricity, this will be investigated.
I am happy to find that, under the circumstances, you still had a lovely time and we hope to accommodate you real soon again.
Kind Regards,
SANParks

Tremendous peace, rest and quiet, but a tire-breaker road.
There are now 10 houses and no longer the 5 as indicated on the maps and websites, SANParks should please update this. Quality, location and facilities are excellent, you don't need to bring anything except food, refreshments and ice. Houses now all have TVs with limited DStv too. Bedrooms and sitting rooms have ceiling fans that work well and there are wall plugs in all rooms (don't know what for). Lights, refrigerator and microwave operate from a battery and solar panel system. The last 100 km of dirt road after you turn off the Ceres Karoo road to the park is extremely battered (severe sinkholes and sharp rocks) - make sure you have 2 spare tyres, compressor, tires deflated to around 1.5 bar and a puncture repair kit which not packed away too deeply. 20 to 40km/h for the last 80km is safe. SANParks should consider renovating the road a bit. Otherwise it is more beautiful than in the photos.

Ideal for a long weekend break without cell phone reception.
The units are well equipped with clean bed linen and towels. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. If you like a decent wine glass, you can go along. The grilling tools are the basic ones. I always pack a grill and grilling tools because usually the grills have seen better days. There is a decent solar power system. The family unit we had had ceiling fans in the two rooms and in the lounge area. The pool(s) was full and pretty clean. Be sparing with the power or you will run out of power. However, we were able to run the ceiling fans through the night as it was 42 degrees during the day. Remember about the park fees if you don't have a Wildcard.

Excellent family holiday.
We thoroughly enjoyed it, except for 3 flat tires on our way to our destination, so I recommend any future guests to pack the necessary tools. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable, the only extra packing item I recommend for future guests is slippers, the kitchen floor are extremely uncomfortable on the feet as well as the patio area, not me or my kids could walk on it without shoes, what has provided for many tears from the 2 year old guest!
