Peace for the soul in timeless Karoo.
Gecko Rock is pristine nature and a place to drink in the air, feast your eyes and revive your soul. We stayed in Rheebokvlakte Cottage, totally isolated from the rest of the farm, with a breathtaking view from your deck and bed. Very rustic but well equipped. At the time we went all the pots and pans looked brand new and were good quality. However, I found the rates a bit high compared to similar places I visited. Wonderful 4x4 route. We were 5 cars in a group led by Cederberg 4x4 and the route took us about 4 hours. Never a dull moment demanding ...

At the time we went all the pots and pans looked brand new and were good quality. However, I found the rates a bit high compared to similar places I visited. Wonderful 4x4 route. We were 5 cars in a group led by Cederberg 4x4 and the route took us about 4 hours. Never a dull moment demanding full concentration from driver and passenger all the time. Incredibly beautiful vistas all along. Grade 4 most of the way. Think we would have struggled at places without a diff lock (luckily we had one fitted to our Jimny). Gun shots from the shooting range did bother some of our group at the De Wetshof camp site, but did not hear it at our chalet. Lovely camp site with refreshing little pool and great lapa. All in all a wonderful weekend, highly recommended.
Rheboksvlakte Cottage is about to go through a few renovations so be sure to pop back soon to see the upgrades.
Shooting range is on the far side of the property and no concerns regarding safety at all. Apologies if the club shoot concerned you in any way.

Totale rus vir siel.
Aanvanklik was dit 'n "bomskok" om in die eenvertrekplekkie in te stap met die net bed, bedkassies en yskas as losstaande items. Geen plek om jou tas neer te sit of iets uit te pak nie. Dieselfde met die badkamertjie. Gou het die absolute vrede en stilte jou laat vergeet van die primitiwiteit en het jy jou verlustig aan die stilte en pragtige groen Karoo-landskap en berge.
Was a great stay but needed ice on site!
We all had an amazing time but for the travel into town to get ice was a huge issue. Making ice available on site would have made the experience so much more comfortable. We experienced a scorcher of a day and had to travel into town twice during our stay. Other than that, we had the best time! Would love to come back! The stars were amazing. We also had friends who accidentally locked their keys in the car and there were people who came to help in a flash. We were so thankful! Just amazing!
Thank you for your feedback. We will endeavor to have ice on site in the future. Thank you for this feedback, it keeps us sharp at meeting your needs.

Ons het ons tyd baie geniet. Dit was absoluut pragtig. Dis 'n plek as mens kalmte en rustigheid soek.
Wonderful to hear that you had a great stay. Come back soon.

Dié ongelooflike plek word sterk aanbeveel.
As jy stilte en privaatheid soek, sal jy sukkel om 'n beter plek te kry. Ons het die hele vallei vir onsself gehad. Die kothuis was al wat ons nodig gehad het en was gerieflik. Ons sal volgende keer langer bly, draf, voetslaan en bergfietsry. Lekker plek!
Highly recommend this amazing place to stay.
If you are looking for quiet alone time, you will struggle to find a better spot. We had a whole valley to ourselves. The cottage had all we needed and was comfortable. We will definitely be back to spend longer, running, hiking and mountain biking. Great spot!
What an amazing review. Thank you for taking the time to rate Gecko Rock. Looking forward to having you back soon.

Heerlike wegbreek wat eensaamheid bied met die ongerepte Karoo as jou voorstoep.
Uitstekende ligging, pragtige en netjiese eenhede. Uitstekende beligting ten spyte van moeilike ligging - goeie ingenieurswerk. Een kritiek was egter dat die gas uitgeput was by die Solitude en Tranquility storte (ten spyte dat daar volgens die inligtingsboek genoem was dat alles vooraf deurgekyk word). Miskien het die kampeerders die storte gebruik? Ons kon dus nie stort nie en dit was vrek koud! Maar vir ons gaan dit meer oor die ligging en die stilte as die comfort en dis juis dit wat bewaar moet word. Ek het met Jarred gepraat en gehoor jul ...

Ek het met Jarred gepraat en gehoor jul oorweeg uitbreidings wat positiewe nuus is, solank die stilte en eensaamheid op van die plekkies bewaar word. Miskien kan twee van die enkelbedjies met 'n dubbelbed vervang word of alternatiewelik kan die sleeper coach reggemaak word vir die funksie as dubbelbed.
Thank you for your feedback. I am not happy to hear the gas had been depleted. This should of course not happen. Please in future bring this to our attention immediately so you can enjoy a piping hot shower.
We are expanding but only with 2 extra cabins well spaced apart with different offerings with separate bedrooms so we have variety in terms of what we offer. We are expanding our activities to mountain bike single track and hiking with new trails.
So please visit again soon.

'n Ongelooflike lekker wegbreek van die daaglikse stadslewe!
Yay, so thrilled to hear.
Mene E - Apr 2018
Beste plek om te besoek vir stilte en romantiese wegbreek!
Dit was 'n wonderlikke ervaring, die mooiste plek! Lekker gebraai, stap en net ontspan. Vriendelike gasvryheid en sal die plek definitief aanbeveel vir enige iemand!
Thank you for the wonderful feedback. So thrilled you will be returning.

Rustigheid in die Karoo.
Ons het in Desemeber 2017 vinnig hierheen weggebreek. Rheebokskloof Cottage is lekker op sy eie en die stilte is wat ons nodif gehad het. Sterre was pragtig daar.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Roxane, we appreciate your feedback. Hope to see you back soon.
Enchanting Karoo quiet and nature at its best.
Gecko Rock epitomises the future of Karoo ecotourism. If you're into hotel holidays, look elsewhere. Off the grid and eco-friendly, quiet and with vast expanses of pristine Karoo to revive the soul. There are beautiful routes (with lots of climbs through typical Karoo "koppies") on the farm to cycle, walk and do with a 4x4. Too much for one weekend - that's why we'll definitely be back. Cape Nature has set the trend with their eco-friendly accommodation, and Gecko Rock is clearly ahead of other private reserves in that respect. There's also promise ...

Cape Nature has set the trend with their eco-friendly accommodation, and Gecko Rock is clearly ahead of other private reserves in that respect. There's also promise of more single track mountain biking routes to come which is exciting. You can feel the city stress subsiding as you pass through the gates. Wonderful!
Thank you so much for a wonderful review. It epitomises what we are trying to achieve at Gecko Rock. So thrilled you were able to experience it and of course, bless us by this amazing review putting it into words.

Thank you again for your support of Gecko Rock and for your kind feedback regarding our establishment. Please visit again soon.
'n Fantastiese rustige wegbreek om jou self te vind.
Dit was heerlik om weg van die dolle daaglikse gejaagdheid saam met my vrou, weer te recharge en perspektief oor die lewe te herwin.
I'm so thrilled to see you had a great experience at Gecko Rock. We appreciate your review and hope to see you back soon.

Lieflike rustige omgewing om siel te verfris!
Die eienaars was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam om ons verblyf so aangenaam moontlik te maak. Die hut in die natuur was presies wat ons wou hê as 'n wegbreek van die stad. Heerlike staproetes om te verken en net te rus in die natuur.
Thank you so much for this review. We appreciate the feedback. Hope to see you back at Gecko Rock soon.

Rustig en kos vir jou siel! Hier kan jy letterlik jouself weer vind.
Enigeen wat die natuur liefhet sal hiervan hou. Hierdie is rustig met hoofletters. Pragtige plek en die vriendelikste mense.
Thank you ever so much for this wonderful review.
We really appreciate you taking time to support us this way.
