Rest and peace for the soul. Incredibly beautiful camping site. Beautiful hiking trails.

Rus en vrede vir die siel. Verskriklik mooi kampeerplek. Pragtige staproetes.

Thank you so much for these incredibly kind words, Ann! Comments like these really mean a lot to us. We try hard to keep Rocky Drift the peaceful, natural “gem” that people can enjoy and remember, and come back to if they can! It makes us extra happy that you enjoyed the hiking trails, facilities and the friendly atmosphere. We, and our team, truly appreciate it. We look forward to welcoming you back again, and we will help keep our gem just as special!

Baie dankie vir hierdie ongelooflike mooi woorde, Ann! Kommentaar soos hierdie beteken regtig baie vir ons. Ons probeer hard om Rocky Drift die rustige, natuurlike “juweel” te hou wat mense kan geniet en onthou, en terug kom as hulle kan! Dit maak ons sommer ekstra bly dat julle die staproetes, fasiliteite en die vriendelike atmosfeer geniet het. Ons, en ons span, waardeer dit opreg baie. Ons sien uit daarna om julle weer terug te verwelkom, en ons sal help om ons juweel nog net so spesiaal te hou!

Quiet with only the sound of the waterfall. Very beautiful surroundings and well-maintained stands with all lawns.

Stil met net die geruis van die waterval. Baie mooi omgewing en staanplekke goed versorg met alles grasperke.

Thank you so much, Pieter, for the kind words! We are so glad you enjoyed the silence and the peaceful sound of the waterfall. This is exactly the experience we want to create for our guests; it also means a lot to hear that you appreciated the neat, well-maintained pitches and lawns. It makes all our hard work worthwhile! We hope to welcome you back to Rocky Drift soon!

Baie dankie, Pieter, vir die mooi woorde! Ons is so bly julle het die stilte en die rustige geruis van die waterval geniet. Dit is presies die ervaring wat ons vir ons gaste wil skep; dit beteken ook baie om te hoor dat julle die netjiese, goed versorgde staanplekke en grasperke waardeer het. Dit maak al ons harde werk die moeite werd! Ons hoop om julle weer binnekort by Rocky Drift te verwelkom!

Whenever close, a 100% visit! Cheryl and Hans were supporting us from the beginning of our stay till the end. It started with a kind message telling us how to get to Rocky Drift, informing us about each turn and direction, and it has been done in an accurate way! There was a birthday party held from Saturday to Sunday, and we met the guests who were to know our hosts for a long time. They told us that this place became for them a second home (very nice people by the way!). And we have to admit that it would be it for us as well, when we would live a few kilometres closer to it! .

Peaceful. Wow! This place is amazing! Beautiful nature! Peaceful! Hosts are so welcoming! We were worried about the road, but it's only a 1.5 km dirt road. Oh, we wish we had booked for much longer!

Fantastic location, well established camping site, incredible hosts. Fantastic location, well established camp site. We had a wonderful stay - the highlight was the incredible location! You are literally in the middle of a gorge with amazing walking trails and a beautiful stream running past the camp site. The ablution block was well equipped with super hot water and a rain shower which made the stay extra pleasant. We were spoiled with electricity access and a water tap close to our site and as the sun disappeared late afternoon - chilling in front of the fire. We loved it! Cheryl was such an amazing host. Due to the inclement weather, Cheryl offered us accommodation in her glamping tent, as a big storm front forced us to relocate. On arrival, we managed to strand our car on a rock and Hans was too kind to go out of his way and assisted with a tractor tow. We will most definitely be back again and highly recommend this beautiful destination with two incredible hosts.

Hi Armin, Thank you so much for this detailed and heartfelt review. We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the unique setting of Rocky Drift. Being tucked into the valley with our walking trails, flowing stream, and open fires at sunset really is something special. We’re also glad the ablution facilities, hot water, and campsite amenities added to your comfort and made your stay that much more enjoyable. The weather certainly throws a curveball, but we’re glad we could offer you an alternative with the glamping tent and help keep the experience memorable despite the storm. Hans will be especially pleased to know his rescue didn’t go unnoticed! Your kind words about us as hosts truly mean a lot, and we appreciate the recommendation more than you know. We look forward to welcoming you back to Rocky Drift for another stay in the not-too-distant future. Kind regards, Hans & Cheryl

Hi Elardus, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, cosy chalets, and beautiful views, even in the heart of winter. It was such a pleasure meeting you, and we truly appreciate your friendly demeanour and interest in the history of Kaalbooi. Hearing your own connection to its story made your visit even more special for us. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind regards, Hans & Cheryl
