Camp Canoe · Franschhoek · Cape W**elands

Perched high on a particularly beautiful peak of the Boschendal W**e Estate – just 45 minutes from Cape Town – Camp Canoe is where luxury meets the wild.

Seven fully equipped luxury tents invite you to slow down, switch off and soak up uninterrupted views of the valley. You’re wrapped in nature, yet surrounded by comfort: think crackling fires, a private wood-fired hot tub, and a glass of w**e in hand as the sun dips behind the mountains.

Here, you can:

Cook, soak, laze, be still
Wake up in a king-size bed (or 2 singles) with luxury linen
Curl up on the day bed with a book
Sink into your private deck hammock
Unwind in your walk-in shower after a day of exploring
Each tent includes:

Fireplace & private wood-fired hot tub
Weber braai/barbecue (first 4 bags of wood included)
Fully equipped self-catering kitchen (SMEG induction stove, fridge, utensils, cutlery & crockery)
Tea, coffee, olive oil, salt & pepper
Towels & daily cleaning service
Complimentary Wi-Fi
Optional pre-order picnic, braai & breakfast boxes
This is your invitation to escape the city rush and retreat into stillness, without compromising on comfort.

Rooikat Safari Collection – The Salt Mine, Rooikat Safari Collection, West Coast
“Where retro charm meets raw wilderness – and the past meets the present in the heart of the West Coast”

This is The Salt Mine
Safari accommodation near Cape Town. The Salt Mine – part of the exclusive Rooikat Safari Collection, nestled within the magnificent West Coast Private Game Reserve.
Here, sweeping landscapes are rich in wildlife, from elegant giraffes to elusive caracals. Whether you are seeking immersive safari game drives, guided horseback safaris, or the magic of the West Coast flowers in bloom, The Salt Mine offers unforgettable adventures just over an hour from Cape Town.

The Salt Mine Houses
Perched at the edge of old gypsum quarries — now transformed into shimmering salt pan wetlands — The Salt Mine pays homage to the region’s industrial past with a bold, retro-inspired design that nods to the gypsum mining heritage of the West Coast.
Each house blends rugged charm with modern comfort, offering two spacious en-suite bedrooms, complete with bathtubs perfect for soaking in after a day of safari adventure.
Inside, the lounge invites slow living with its cosy cast iron fireplace, while the veranda and outside braai set the scene for golden-hour gatherings. Just a few steps away, nestled at the base of the salt pans, you will find a wood-fired KolKol hot tub and a rustic campfire circle — made for storytelling under starlit skies.

Luxury W**e Farm Farmhouse | Hemel-en-Aarde Valley | Sleeps 8+4
A Restorative Escape on a Working W**e Farm

Tucked away in the sought-after Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, this beautifully curated luxury farmhouse offers a truly restorative escape on a working w**e farm. Sleeping up to eight guests across four elegant bedrooms, with an additional bunk room for the kids (or the young at heart), it’s the perfect setting for family gatherings or groups of friends seeking comfort, charm, and a little bit of magic.
Thoughtfully renovated with three crackling fireplaces, open-plan entertaining spaces, a cosy TV lounge, a well-stocked bar, and picture-perfect farm décor throughout, this is a home that invites you to slow down. Spend your days at the dam, exploring the farm on foot, by bike, or on an early morning run through the vines. Spend your evenings gathered around the fire pit or braai, glass of exceptional local w**e in hand.
This is more than a place to stay. It’s a place to breathe, reconnect, and step away from the noise of modern life into something altogether more beautiful.
Set among the rolling vineyards of one of the Cape’s most celebrated w**e valleys, this farmhouse is a rare find — spacious enough for a big group, yet intimate and warm enough to feel like your own private retreat. Wander the farm, cool off in the dam, uncork something local as the sun goes down, and let the evenings unfold around the fire.
Whether it’s a family reunion, a milestone birthday, or simply a group of friends craving slow mornings and starlit nights, this Hemel-en-Aarde farmhouse delivers an experience as unforgettable as the valley it calls home.
