Treedom Villas and Vardos

EVERYTHING!

Not staying longer

Es war wirklich toll! Unbedingt das Tunnel Dinner buchen - so lecker und besonders. Danke für den schönen Aufenthalt :)

N/A

Booked the villa for 2 couples - only downside is that there is only one bathroom and it is in the double bedroom. Fine for families and 'close' friends but if you value privacy then maybe not for you.

The experience, the greenhouse and the pool were our highlights

The parking was not great, as the hill climb is a challenge

The accommodation is truly unique. The villa is well equipped and clean. We loved the dinner! Make sure you book it! The pool is also nice and especially our kids loved it. The team is super nice and are their love for the place is all around! ❤️❤️

Nothing unfortunately. Pictures need updating everything looked very tired and run down. The lovely man that helps run it was very sweet.

Same as above, a lot smaller than it looks too. Car is very far away from where you stay and it it’s up and down a huge dusty hill to get from car to room. Also didn’t feel safe for two young girls to be driving on a dirt road to the campesite.

Amazing hosts who run a range of custom accommodations with different personalities. Our artsy custom owl caravan came with a lovely barked garden, braai station, and a separate living area in a greenhouse. The stop was really a highlight of our garden route trip and should have stayed more than one night. The hosts were really easy to communicate with and even allowed us to drop off some bags early so we could go hiking without worrying about the car. The bedroom was insanely comfortable and the kitchen was really well equipped, despite being small it was really all we needed. Treedom was the type of place that convinces you to go barefoot - and we enjoyed it, I hope we return soon!!

Our caravan was warm without AC but with a fan and open windows it was fine (we stayed in the heat of January)

Der Zigeunerwagen, und das dazugehörige Greenhouse, Ourdoorbett, waren wirklich schön und originell und romatisch.

Die Bilder der Webseite gehören der Vergangenheit an, Das Areal ist heruntergekommen und ungepflegt. Es gibt 2 weitere Zigeunerwagen, die sich wohl schon länger im Bau befinden, Der sogenannte Lichtertunnel war weder beleuchtet noch wurde uns das angefragte und zugesagte Xmas Dinner ermöglicht. Am Tag unserer Ankunft wusste man von der Anfrage nichts mehr und machte auch keinen Anstalten, etwas zu organisieren, Das war nicht das, was ich mit für Weihnachten vorgestellt habe, zumal alle Restaurants am 25.12. geschlossen hatten. Ich hatte dann noch 2 x Frühstück bestellt, was 1 x kam, in Form von Müsli, und einem Toast vollbepackt mit Rührei und einer Bratwurst, die nur so triefte - keine Frage zuvor, was wir gerne hätten. Für das am darauf folgenden Tag bestellte Frühstück, nur Müsli, wurde mir am Abend zuvor um 20h noch per Whats App bestätigt, erfolgte aber nicht. Bei der Nachfrage wusste man mal wieder von nichts, und hat es mit einem Missverständnis abgetan. Es fand 3 Tage kein Housekeeping statt, weder wurde sauber gemacht noch wurde irgendetwas wie Kaffee ( Milch gab es sowieso keine) aufgefüllt. Nicht mal einen Toaster, um diesen hatte ich dann gebeten, und er wurde auch gebracht, allerdings mussten wir diesen erst mal gründlich vom Schmutz befreien. Lagerfeuer wurde grosszügig angeboten, was höchst fahrlässig bei dem trockenen Umgebung mit Büschen und Bäumen ist. Ein Funke und es brennt - und dann hat man verloren - da die ganze Umgebung so ausschaut. Die Wege zur Wagen waren steil und uneben, und bei Nacht wenig bis gar nicht beleuchtet. Die Laternen am Zigeunerwagen, alle durchgerostet und kaputt. Eigentlich ist der Platz ein Juwel, aber es genügt eben nicht, nur Ideen zu haben und alles unter das Motto "Love" zu stellen, ohne das man selber Hand anlegt. Hanging around war mehr das Motto. Die Krönung war dann noch der Preis für das so genannte Frühstück, 400 RD....

We loved the cabin surrounded by nature, especially the lookout where we could overlook the lake and enjoy a beautiful sunset.

The walk to the car was a bit steep but manageable.

A beautiful, unique and magical place. Incredible people and we felt so welcome. Loved our stay!

Clean and comfy

No AA

Alot of things! The amazing private dinner! I loved how each spot has their own privacy, the coffee was excellent, the bed was super comfortable, we slept like trees :D

Well, if I had to look for something, I didn't enjoy the farewell :( we didn't want to leave!

Si quieres alojarte en una caravana decorada de forma especial, con un patiecito preparado con luces para tener un espacio cerrado para comer y una hamaca para tumbarte a disfrutar del cielo, puedes venir a este lugar que es como un viaje a un lugar de fantasía. Si anfitriones fueron amables al recibirnos. Estás a unos 15 minutos de la entrada al parque de Wilderness. La carretera para llegar tiene una parte no asfaltada. Las camas son SÚPER cómodas. Las caravanas cuentas con mini cocina equipada.

I loved the entire experience from arrival I was received by Debs with such friendliness and I loved my Vardo. And used the entire space. I did some stargazing had a lovely fire going and just enjoyed the quietness and space

What a beautiful hideaway from the hustle and bustle of every day life. We will treasure the memories we made at Treedom, such a magical retreat. Thank you Debs and Marc.

All was perfect

המקום נבחר בשל קרבתו לשדה התעופה ג'ורג'. תיקשרנו עם דבי המארחת בווצאפ בדרך למקום. דבי, שהיתה ממוקמת בבקתה לידינו, הזמינה לנו מקומות לארוחת ערב למרות השעה המאוחרת (למעשה לא ניצלנו את ההזמנה...). דבי עזרה לנו מאד בקבלת החלטה היכן לאכול ארוחת בוקר והפעילות שכדאי לעשות, לאור מזג האוויר, למחרת (סיור בשמורת Featherbed ב Knysna), וזאת אחרי שבבוקר הביאה לנו ספישל 4 ספלי קפוצ'ינו מהביל :-)

אחרי הנחיתה בג'ורג' בערב, נאצלנו ליסוע בחושך כמעט מוחלט אל המקום. הדירה ממוקמת בקצה של כביש גישה לא סלול שעולה על גבעה גבוהה (בבוקר גילינו שיש נוף לאוקיינוס ולאגם קרוב). העובד של דבי (שבא לקראתנו ולהפתעתנו - יחף, יש לציין) עזר לנו מאד עם הציוד והעלה אותו לחדר (החדר הוא למעשה בקתה הממוקמת במורד הגבעה, בת שתי קומות, כאשר גם לבקתה עצמה היה צריך להעלות במדרגות את הציוד). זה לא הפריע לנו אבל כדאי לקחת זאת בחשבון כשמזמינים.

Such warm welcoming hosts and staff. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, definitely an experience to repeat ✨️ We enjoyed a 3 course meal that was incredibly delicious.

We were received friendly. The stay was awesome. It was clean & neat. The owner went above & beyond to accommodate us

Nothing

People was friendly. Place was clean and neat. It was fantastic

Everything was great. Would like to see it when they done

Being in touch with Nature

N/A

The hosts were welcoming. The Villa and surrounding garden offered many comfortable spots for relaxing. I was able to run and walk my dog from the Villa in the surrounding area and at the beach that was only 5 minutes away. The linen was crisp and fresh and the bed very comfy. Great shower with plenty of hot water. Lovely view of the sea from the loft bedroom. Sleeper couch on the verandah super comfortable for afternoon naps.

The information booklet said that there would be a crate with wood, kindling and firelighters. There was plenty of wood available but no kindling or firelighters for personal use - had to ask host or staff to light fires. Best to take your own. The accommodation and surroundings are stunning, but traffic from N2 a little noisy during the day.

Lovely and quiet location, nestled right in the middle of the forest. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The property was created by the owners with great attention to detail and a lot of love, which really shows. The house itself was charming and fully equipped with everything you might need: cutlery, crockery, cooking utensils, and even firewood for the chimney. It was a perfect escape and a great way to reconnect with nature. However, in my opinion, the space felt a bit small for four people, and the cleanliness was not quite up to standard. It's also worth noting that the location is a bit remote, so it’s a good idea to bring your own food, snacks, and drinks, as it's quite far from tourist attractions.

There were ants everywhere—especially inside the fridge, which was quite unpleasant. The only source of heating is a chimney located downstairs. Unfortunately, it doesn’t heat the space evenly. While it remained cold downstairs, it became extremely hot upstairs. Once the fire burned out during the night, the entire place became incredibly cold. That said, the stay might be much more enjoyable during warmer months.

staff was friendly

it was not clean, all furniture run down, sigaret holes in the chairs, close to a highway with lot of noise, broken tiles in the bathroom

This was a completely rare experience - a fairytale place for us as newly weds. Gorgeous and romantic scenery. We got to enjoy sitting at the fireplace before the rain, followed by a fairy lit dinner in the greenhouse.

Wifi signal was not great unfortunately - and this is a need for my husband who works online, and missing some self-catering facilities in the cabin (a kitchen bin, cutting board etc.).

Magical experience deep in the heart of the wilderness.

We liked the uniqueness and atmosphere.

Access limitations

The property is intimate, artistic, rustic and off the beaten path. Amazing for those looking to experience something new. The hosts are amazing and genuine. It's a very beautiful experience.

It is a whole experience not an accommodation. It is special and magical.

We stayed in the Owl Vardo and saw little else of the property. It is beautifully carried out, and very tastefully done. There is a separate seating area in a little greenhouse. The inside of the vardo is quite tight, though does have all necessary facilities. Raphael helped us to and from our spot and was very helpful and supremely friendly.

No seating inside caravan. Not the best in wet weather. Must bring your own food, it’s not close to any restaurants.

Feel submerged in the Wilderness, very quiet, and unique. Well designed.

Slightly tight living space inside the trailer.

We loved it here. It was just beautiful and we'd have loved more time to relax in the very inviting relaxation spaces. The meal was great, my partner is a vegetarian and he felt it was the best veggie meal he'd had on our trip.

The host, Debbie and Marc and their friendly staff was exceptional. A very close drive to most of the tourist attractions in and around the area. A beautiful place indeed and such amazing food, make sure you book a private dinner. Great view from the lookout. A delightfully magic place you should be sure to visit.

Nothing!

It is almost impossible to write down all the positives and the amazing experience that we had. But here we go ... Check In We were met at the gate by the whole team (Debs, Marc & Rafael) who greeted us with massive smiles and welcomed us to the property. They helped us take our bags from the car and took them to the villa. They gave us a tour and the passion for what they do was evident with a focus on sustainability & hospitality The Villa I feel the best way to describe it is: Luxury Villa meets Fantasy Tree House. The Villa has everything you need for your stay and you sit back and enjoy. There is multiple dining options (the fire pit & Braai area was our Fav). The beds are so comfy and the attention to detail is unrivalled The Property It is such a unique place which is all a nod to Debs & Marcs family and heritage ... all of which has been hand built The Hosts Debs & Marc are great people and they treat you like family and make you feel instantly welcome and are available to help 24/7 with any questions or anything needs doing. Debs offers a private dining experience which i highly recommend (sorry Debbie i will be stealing your receipt). Rafael He deserves his own section !! Rafael is the right and left had man to Debs & Marc. He is possibly the nicest person in the world and he is there to help in anything you need. With a beaming smile and infectious laugh such a great human. Ask him anything and it is done ... what a person !!!

Absolutely nothing

Absolutely stunning and unique place, never seen anything like it before. Highest recommendations. Wonderful, wonderful owners and everything with the facilities was spotless, highly functional and with a truly unique twist. Location is gorgeous, including an amazing viewing point to both the sea and the lake.

This was a 10/10. Nothing at all to critique.

Dinner in the love tunnel was very enjoyable. Weather was a bit cool but the atmosphere was great. Would've been nice if there were other people also eating there as it felt a bit isolated. Hosts and staff were super helpful and friendly.

My only crit of the vardo was that for our short stay we didn't cook, and found that a lot of the shelf space was dedicated to cooking utensils, etc and we were a bit cramped with our clothing and groceries. Not really a big issue.

Very cool place, fantastic staff.

Very cute location a little further away from Wilderness town. Very comfortable bed and had a solid nights sleep.

We had a whole colony of ants crawling on and in our suitcase even though it was closed and did not contain any food. Very little supply of hot water so we couldn’t both take a shower in the morning.

Beautiful and quiet cottage with absolutely everything you need for a great stay! Super friendly host and personnel was a nice added bonus.

Everything! You feel like you are in a magical forest or in a fairy tale. Treedom delivers on it all. Stunning views, awesome adventures nearby and a magical evening dinning experience we will never forget.

A beautiful cabin in the canopy with a lovely social area and firepit. Hosts are welcoming and friendly, they feel like family after 2 minutes.

We had a very warm welcome - the hosts are great: very friendly and helpful! We stayed at the Owl Trailer and loved the detailed arrangement of furniture, decor, colour, lights and the owl theme of course ;)

As it’s a Trailer you are pretty close to nature ;) The night we stayed there at the beginning of October it was rather cold so we needed the heating system - it worked really well, but was kind of loud to sleep with.

Beautifully designed and maintained property, amazing space and outside entertainment areas, very friendly hosts, kids loved the freedom of exploring

Nothing, it was exceptional and we wish we could have stayed longer

Debs and her husband really created something special here. It makes you feel like you're staying in an enchanted forest. The decor was immaculate. So much thought clearly went into this creation of theirs. It's peaceful, private and a perfect getaway if you're looking to kick back and relax. They're also incredibly warm and welcoming. Everything you possibly need is on the premises and in addition they provide you with a magazine with all the activities and info relevant to the area. The bed was really comfortable, both the inside and outside one. Also great value for money!!

There really wasn't much that I can critique but that our bedsheets were a bit stained. Nothing off putting though.

The owner Deby is very friendly and her staff Raphael too ,it’s like coming into a fairytale ,simply magical ,there is a lot of love in this project and you can definitely feel it . Can’t wait to come back

I loved everything

We loved that it was family friendly, we stayed in the luxury villa. Enough sleeping place for two adults and two kids. Our kids loved the property as well. Always nice to be out in nature. We like that fact that we were surrounded by beautiful lush vegetation and trees 🤗 Also the fact, that the staff was so friendly and welcoming to us. Made us really feel comfortable and at home. Anything we needed, they made sure it was there or assisted in our request. Another important factor to us was that they are a 420 friendly property, which to us is very very important. As we use cannabis to medicate daily, so we need our vacay locations to be 420 friendly.🙏🏾 This is property is located not far from the n2 highway and is easily accessible by car, there is a short dirt road before you get to the property, nothing a small rental car can’t handle. Overall, we were very pleased with the property and all its amenities. We braaied, could’ve swam, but it was too cod haha. Definately coming back soon. Thank you to Deb’s, Marc, Raphael and Raphael jnr lol, for all your help to make our stay a memorable one 😊🙏🏾🎉 Sending love from the Cameron family

There wasn’t anything to not like about it 🤷🏽‍♂️

Its nice and peaceful, beautiful forest scenery

It felt like an adventure especially perfect for us traveling with kids. The kids loved it! Debs & Marc was so friendly and very accommodating! The property was perfect for us, huge downstairs area where you can entertain and play games and a great outdoor area with trampoline and fire-pit! It was definitely a great find, and we can’t wait to go back.

Loved all of it!!

Great location and friendly hosts, Debs and Marc. Really feels like a home away from home.

Lovely magical place. Little caravans converted into a bed / kitchenette / bathroom. Magical private outdoor space, outdoor bed and living room in a greenhouse. Fairy lights and decor to feast the eyes on. Perfect place to go and chill out. Lovely friendly owners, super helpful and love life. Off the beaten track for those adventure seekers with an open mind and a sense of humour. Small touches are well noted, awesome coffee and excellent linen with the most comfortable bed ever! Remember you cannot drive your car though to the establishment, you have to walk to it, so could be a problem in the rain...

Great location

Nothing

Great villa, with lots of sitting space indoor and outdoor. Also encompasses a trampoline and the use of a very small heart-shaped pool. It is meant for self-catering and has all the necessary amenities and tools. With in-advance reservation you could also get a dinner on the premises. There is a viewpoint over the lake and sea just 50meters from the villa and from the top-floor of the villa the sea is also visible.

The pool is relatively small and the location is a bit out of the way. In case you are a hiker, there would be many hiking trails starting from here, but otherwise you will need a car to get to the beach or downtown Wilderness (less than 10min away).

So unusual

Nothing

Such a magical place to calm down Wonderful hosts, so helpful and so positive. Really good vibe!!! If we come again to South Africa we definitely will stay there again! Thank you for everything

That we couldn’t stay longer

Beautiful, unique, peaceful

The staff were excellent. Perfect place to relax and unwind. Gas Braai, boma to light a fire and relax and enjoy the stars at night. great view from the patio of the sunset.

nothing really

Peaceful and remote

Great location, tucked away in the forest. The little Vardo was well equipped with everything you would need to have a comfortable stay.

Our unit was a little close to our neighbor.

The staff were extremely helpfull in everything we could possibly need during our stay. They are very friendly and have created a wonderfull and unique accomodation. I Definitely recommend treedom villas and vardos.

Amazing vibe and such a quirky, charming atmosphere. The owners and property manager, Raph, are all amazing! So welcoming and helpful. We got some veggies from their on site garden which was very special. Close to adventure spots, but peacefully private.

We had such a warm welcome! Debs and Marc are a loving couple! The heart shaped pool was a huge hit for the kids. We enjoyed the boma and the swingbed.

Great hosts, very comfortable, nice privacy

Not much to complain about

Awesome vibe and so much to see and experience. 10/10

I liked everything!

Best authentic stay with amazing hosts. Beautiful surroundings in the Wilderness. Well thoughtful place of magic :)

Nothing was too much trouble for the amazing team at Treedom!! Thank you for making my son and his wife's honeymoon absolutely spectacular and for going out of your way to make their experience memorable and very, very special. From a very grateful mom!

We had the most amazing and warm experience on our Trip to the Garden Route! The owners compliment the outstanding farm and design. We stayed in a movie style Gypsy Caravan, had a braai (wood was on the owners!) and received a warm welcome and good bye. What else can you ask for when staying away on a secluded farm, far away from all the modern stress - simply unwind 🥰

We enjoyed the fire place and comfort of the place. We did not use the WiFi on purpose. The view was excellent. The paths are beautiful.

Wish we could have stayed longer. The sona did not work, but it was not an issue for us.
