Witsand Glamping Experience

Remote Locations Witsand Glamping Experience

Remote Locations’ Witsand Glamping Experience is located near the seaside village of Witsand at the Breede River Mouth in the Southern Cape, South Africa. The 10 x guest tents are set up on the edge of a sandstone cliff ensuring endless views over the Indian Ocean and St Sebastian Bay.

Our guests have access to private beaches below the cliffs and can enjoy the day sunbathing or cooling off in the ocean. From July to September the Southern Right Whales frolic in the bay. St Sebastian Bay & the village of Witsand is known as the whale nursery, the whales come here to feed and give birth. The elevated view from the cliffs make whale watching spectacular.

Breakfast and dinner is included in our rate and is served buffet style in our dining tent set up on the cliff overlooking the ocean.

Breakfasts consist of a continental buffet with fruit, yoghurt, cereal, toast and preserves and a plated cooked breakfast. Fruit juice and coffee & tea is included.

Dinner is 2 courses and comprises South African inspired dishes. The main course consists of 2 meats – be it freshly caught fish, a braai or tasty lasagne and home made pies. Accompanied with lots of veggies and salad. Mains are served buffet style and dessert is plated.

We do have a lunch menu – lunch needs to be ordered at breakfast in order for the kitchen to prepare.

Where the action happens:

Our Bedouin / stretch tent houses the dining area for breakfast and dinner. The bar and lounge areas are also under the stretch tent. It is set up on the foundation of an old shed with grass leading to the edge of the cliff and the ocean below. On windless nights we have a fire in the firepit in front of the main area to enjoy the night sky.
The Bedouin tent has a clear front wall so even if the weather is bad outside it is nice and cozy inside and the view unobstructed.

The access road

is 9km off the tar road between Heidelberg and Witsand – directions will be sent to guests once a booking is confirmed. We do recommend a high clearance vehicle but any car can access us – just be aware that it is on a gravel farm road.
