Budget Getaways Review

An experience close to nature, right on the Breede River, on a working farm. The Breede Escape River Camp offers options for camping and accommodation.

The HutCamp with cute tiny huts, each with a double and two kiddies beds, own loo and small washbasin can be booked by 1 - 4 families at a time, or 1 - 12 adults at a time. You will have exclusive use of the HutCamp and facilities even if you are a smaller group or one family. Inside The Camp Exclusive ( private campground ) we have two tiny huts, awaiting Oupa and Ouma if they join the group of campers.

Each spot with own firepit and indoor braai. Wood and ice available on the farm and DSTV included at the HutCamp and The Camp Exclusive, but not at the smaller camping sites. A washing up service can be arranged if you do not have dogs in the group.

Turning to action, there's plenty to do at Breede Escape. For starters, there's a river lapping at your toes and two kayaks at The Camp Exclusive and at the jetty close to the HutCamp. The fantastic birdlife is something not to miss, down at the river and on the Toktokkie hiking trails which starts from there. There's a "jukskeibaan "with floodlight to enjoy a game at night. Miles of dirt road for the MTB and running crowd as well as strolls on the farm, other than the 5km Toktokkie trail which takes you up the koppie for fantastic Langeberg view.

For the hikers, there's the Toktokkie hiking trail, a 5km circular stroll which takes you from the camps through farmland and up a nearby koppie with views out over the entire area -  a great spot for sundowners!

If you can't bear to miss your favourite TV show, you can book the DSTV in the lapa area by prior arrangement.

And finally (whew !), there's the appeal of chilling out with the friendly and curious Jersey cows, while they make short work of their hearty meal of lucerne, grazing day and night on the green fields ! Yes you can bring your dog friend with, but please keep them leashed close to the cows. Your furry friend will enjoy the farm life and the swims in the river. All said and done, Breede Escape is organised and good value, the setting beautiful and private, the owners friendly, and the general experience unique.
