[ RESORT REVIEW ] RONDEBERG HOLIDAY RESORT, WESTERN CAPE
The moment you turn off from the N7 and drive through the big white walls of Rondeberg Holiday Resort, you know that you are in for a good time. The road down to the campsite is lined with palm trees, behind which vineyards are spread to left and right. In the distance below, you get your first look at the Bulshoek Dam.
Even at the entrance to the resort (situated on a private nature reserve), it’s clear that Rondeberg is expertly managed. Outside, the extensive grass is neatly mown; and inside the reception, the shop is neatly stocked.
Exiting the car at the reception gate, I could already hear the sound of children having the time of their lives, echoing up from the dam about 50m away. Between squeals of joy, I could hear the splashing as the little ones enjoyed the cool water on that hot summer day.
ACCOMODATION
Rondeberg offers various accommodation types, including chalets, stone cottages, a waterfront house, and (of course) camping and caravanning.
And, as if those were not enough options, there are four types of camping and caravan stands to choose from.
The general camping area is set a short distance from the dam. All 14 sites are on neat, lush grass, with electricity and braai facilities. Not all the stands have trees for shade, so make sure that you book in advance to get one of the prime spots. Ablution facilities are spread throughout the camp, with more than enough toilets and showers. There is a bath available in the family bathroom. The facilities are kept meticulously clean all day long! Laundry facilities are also available.
Rondeberg also offers two camping sites right on the edge of the glorious Bulshoek Dam; these cost a bit more than the general stands. A maximum of six people is allowed per site. Each Water’s Edge site has a key to its own bathroom, which consists of a shower, a basin and a toilet.
These sites also have electricity and braai facilities.
