Brandrivier Self Catering Accommodation

Brandrivier is situated on a private farm located approximately 30 km from the town of Springbok on the N7. The establishment offers tranquil self-catering tented accommodation, nestled in the heart of the Namaqualand region. Accommodation at Brandrivier comprises 3 individually tented units, which can accommodate 2 to 4 persons. These units are furnished with a queen-size bed and/or twin beds, and each tent features an en-suite bathroom with a shower. Each unit has a kitchenette area with basic appliances. All units boast a patio and a gas braai facility. The host provides solar power for charging electronic equipment such as cellphones and laptops only, gas heaters in winter, and field guides describing the Namaqualand flowers in detail. Load-shedding does not affect this accommodation, because it is off-grid. The farm also has wildlife ranging from springbok, klipspringer and baboons, to porcupines and bat-eared foxes. The sound of the Cape Eagle owl or barn owls at night can be heard frequently. In the flower season from June to September, a vast variety of flowers can be found on the farm and in surrounding areas. Other interesting plants include the Quiver Tree and Tylecodon paniculatus: known as the Botterboom or the Butter tree.
