Perfect place to stay before taking off on a West Coast tour or going to Namibia. I can recommend any foreigner to stay here for a night or two, at least. Also a great option for a weekend escape from Cape Town, to relax and reconnect with origins. Its lovely IN nature and the smell of Fynbos is enchanting! The food is great too and the people even nicer! I really enjoyed the open-air shower at the bush-camp.
We've been there 4 times. We go for a walk with the dog and the baby and then go eat at the restaurant because the food is amazing. Super great day trip for a family. All the museum exhibitions are beautifully presented, modern and interesting.
We love this place!
!Khwa ttu! A wonderful gem in the midst of the west coast spring flowers!
We came for the tractor trip but were far more impressed with the restaurant and museum. The food was utterly delicious and well priced whereas the tractor trip was average and overpriced. R900 for five of us.
The people were friendly and helpful, the museum fascinating, engaging, beautiful! The video room set the tone. Relax there for 15 or so minutes before walking around the modern glass and flower garden roofed exhibition space, encompassed by the sounds of the bush. We planned to stay for a couple of hours and reluctantly ended up dragging ourselves out at the end of the day. Certainly a must if you are anywhere near the West Coast.
Stayed overnight in the Bush Lodge. An amazing experience from arrival to departure, the food, accommodation, environment, museum and stories of the San.
An absoloutely stunning, tranquil hidden gem!! The restaurant is amazing and really reasonably priced. Our tour guide Nunki was just so cool with such a great vibe and attitude. Really interesting and informative and we wish we could have done all the tours!! Guided tours are R180 pp and last 45 mins. There is the option of the R95pp for self-guided as well, which allows you to enter all rooms and enjoy all tours by yourself. Even though R180pp for 45mins seems a bit pricey, the money is definitely going towards good use to train, educate and help San people setup businesses. We will definitely return, especially for the great food. Highly reccomended!!
Words cannot describe how simply delicious each meal tasted! My family of five each ordered a different meal and each person was blown away with how fantastic the food was presented, how amazing it tasted and the fact that most of the food is sourced from the property! JUST WONDERFUL!!!
The highlight of my visit to South Africa! I stayed in the bush camp tent and had a very zen experience there. I really enjoyed the guided tours (I came back again and again for three tours) that were given by enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides. It was a unique place to hear the San language and to be able to ask questions to which I received honest and passionate responses. The breakfast is amazing too.

During your stay, you’re invited for diverse tours, learning about San culture in a very natural and interesting way, with personal stories from people with direct experience. Within the impressive compounds you start to slow down, and start learning (and living?) San lifestyle - very educational and inspirational.
Whoever does the menus / food here deserves some serious praise; the menu is original, full of local (often harvested on the property) ingredients and beautifully presented. Combine this with the property’s ‘wellness tea’, and you’re in for a treat.
Outdoor spaces are very well kept, with plenty to see and learn (by means of educational plaques scattered around the property). Indoor spaces are very clean, and there s a lot of great artwork to admire and interesting books to read (their own publications is an exceptional print). There is walking/trail running routes, leading you into the veld where you’ll encounter plenty of wildlife, interesting fauna and more - bring binoculars!
Accommodation in the tents is basic, yes, but very clean and comfortable. The outdoor shower is a treat!
We really enjoyed our morning 45 minutes tractor tour and lunch at this informative San “village”. Staff are very friendly and food was simple but tasty and well done. We felt like it’s an interesting place that can have space for improvement ( surely they suffered the long lock down), and we’ll come back to enjoy more relaxing time with family.
Such an amazing cultural and informative experience going through the Museum and exhibits at the venue.
They're also walking hiking and mountain biking trails in sight a fantastic restaurant with delicious food.
The centre also supports local businesses and farmers. All their produce is sourced to locally.
We got married there in 2012 and return regularly to the centre to look at the updated displays and enjoy a good meal at the restaurant.
There is self-catering accommodation as well as camp sites available on the opposite side of the r27 making this a really wonderful venue.
