Camper Reviews
Relax by the river
Melkhout is a gorgeous dairy farm (with lots of friendly cows) along the Breede River., a few km from Bonnievale.
We fell asleep and woke to the gushing river and bird life.
The sites are semi-private, medium sized with a wooden gazebo that has a washing sink and private ablutions – and a deck overlooking the river.
Our site 5 was quite shady and close to the rapids, so if you want to swim, or fish, you’d need to walk upstream.
Hot water, private ablutions electricity and Wi-Fi made it super comfortable.
If your allergy sensitive, bring antihistamines. Although we had no issues with mozzies or flies.
Lizahn is a lovely, friendly host and we arrived to a basket of homemade bread, fresh milk and butter. Is there anything better?
It can get a bit breezy so make sure you pack in a wind shield. Oh, and a braai grid :)
If you’re looking for tranquility in nature, Melkhout is it!
