Reviewed Aug 31, 2026This place is amazing if you are wanting to get out of the city for peace and quiet. It's an amazing place if you have kids, they have Zebras, Alpacas, pigs, springbok, peacocks and Chickens. A lovely safe place for kids to play, they have 2 big trampolines and a small play area for kids. The accommodation is cozy, and has everything you need.
It's not very private for couples that want to get away.

Reviewed Jul 16, 2026The surrounding nature
Second time here , just an entirely different vibe. Loved the whole experience. Weather didn't do anything to impact our time there , weather was only an issue the day we left ( today ) , spent most of the time in the hot tub or under the blankets with the electric blanket so didn't really see any animals like the zebra , the pig and only saw 2 springbok as we were leaving. Place still has everything you need, we didn't want for anything. I wish check in could be earlier and check out could be later , was increasingly hard to get my but out the bed this morning.
Unfortunately the road to Caledon , after a storm it is No other way to put it DANGEROUS and TREACHEROUS, we loved the quiet solitude of Otium during off season but not at the expense of our lives. At one point our car got stuck in a ditch and my husband had to get out and push the car etc. To get it out , on our way out of the dirt roads an entire rescue project was happening to unstick a farmers tractor and trailer that was also in a bigger ditch. We will come back to Otium just not during winter , you need an all wheel drive and nerves of steel.
The venue was great, the accommodation was clean and very comfortable with everything we could need. The hot tub was perfect.
The braai area was perfect with the fairy lights being a lovely touch!!
Our hosts were very kind and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay!!
The only problem was the campers playing music till late at night on our last night.

Reviewed Mar 2, 2026It is close enough to travel out of town, but far enough and private enough to get out of the busy city life.
the nature and animals was a bonus! feeding a tame Zebra is an absolute priveledge.
My own mistake was not preparing well enough for self-catering. we had everything even complimentary coffee and rusks, but forgot spices and basics like salt and pepper. even though the hosts was so friendly and I'm sure they'd supply us with it if we had asked, thats on me. however a basic salt and pepper shaker could've helped me out a bit.

Loved:
Springboks running around our car, hottub
The stars that were so clear at night
The fact that we literally needed absolutely nothing - because everything was there literally the only thing that was not there unless we missed it ( which we might have) was a can opener and really I didn't expect there to be one, there was just so much of everything else I thought we might have missed it lol.
The small touches that made it really special , the fairy light pond, the fairy lights by our hot tub, the complimentary ice and wood, the bath bombs and bath salts and battery flower lights in the bathroom, the coffee , rusks etc.
The zebra and other animals, I named the Pig Winston and the zebra Zara ( they most definitely have other names)
Animals were very well looked after.
I will preface this by saying we already booked Otium Glamping again for Dec 2025 & Jan 2026
Not so much as didn't like but noticed
We rented the Alapca / Couples Glamping experience - it's not as private as what some people might expect ( which is okay) but this is just something you may want to note because other glamping tents around you are family orientated and sound CARRIES , also the pathway by our glamping tent is used universally by a lot of people going a little bit up the way to the splash pool, the petting zoo and the playground. For example: The first night we heard some person playing a yoga drum non stop for like 5 hours ( before 10pm - like late afternoon until early evening) and we worked out it came from one of the tipis - not a complaint just an observation
Also side note: The springbok hide if there is a lot of noise ( like kids or loud music or or or) so you won't see them if kids are running through the forest ( this is just an example)
The gravel road to get there is difficult to trapeze, just take it slow and be patient and should be fine, we got there fairly easily with a Honda Jazz.
