Find total tranquility at Kam‘Bati River Resort

Where the Sonderendrivier and Breede River meets, you will find the tranquil Kam‘Bati River Resort. The Resort is situated on the Jubileeskraal farm just 20km outside of Swellendam and is owned and managed by the Badenhorst family.

Kam‘Bati River Resort allows guests to experience the adventure and luxury of glamping by the river. They offer grassed campsites with electricity and clean ablution facilities, self-catering cabins and AfriCamp tents.

Whether you are travelling with the family or are enjoying a romantic getaway, Kam‘Bati River Resort is the perfect place to spend a holiday or long weekend away from it all.

Kam’Bati River Resort let you experience total relaxation outdoors

The campsite is perfect for families looking to enjoy the tranquillity of nature and a view of the Breede River right outside their tents.

There are four campsites to choose from. Three are located right next to the Breede River while the other is located near the entrance of the campsite and offers views of the majestic Langeburg Mountains.

All campsites have access to normal plugs, though you will require an extension cord 20m long, and are within walking distance of a convenient ablution block.

A daily cleaning service is provided for the campsites and a braai drum can be provided upon request, though as the resort has a limited number its best to bring your own to ensure you can have a traditional South African braai.

The campsites have a minimum stay and blocked days during school holidays and long weekends, but the Kam‘Bati River Resort owners will do their best to accommodate you if contacted in advance.

“What a feast for any child… we enjoyed the stay, nice and clean facilities and lots to do. We can recommend this resort to anyone that enjoys the outdoors. We will be back soon. The campsites are just as beautiful on the river. Well done team Kambati.”– Oscar S TripAdvisor.

Kam’Bati caters for couples & families alike

The self-catering cabins are perfect for guests looking to enjoy a romantic escape for their holiday. There are four cabins to choose from, each located right by the Breede River banks. One cabin is specifically for a couple while the rest are suited for small families.

The couple’s cabin is equipped with a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a living area that flows into the private braai area and a fully-equipped kitchen. Though the cabin is only meant for couples, you are allowed to bring your small child with you provided you bring a mattress and bedding for them.

The rest of the cabins can sleep four people, with two bedrooms and a bathroom. They come equipped with an open-plan living area with a fully-equipped kitchenette, TV with DStv, and a loose braai drum that you can move anywhere you please.

For the adventurous family, which loves nature, a stay in the AfriCamp Tents is just what you need. A maximum of five guests can be accommodated in the AfriCamp Tents, with two Queen-sized beds and a bunkbed.

“We stayed in an Africamps safari tent at Kam’Bati. The safari tents are beautiful and very well equipped. It was a big surprise they have so many facilities for children. The tents are far away enough so you won’t be bothered by any noise. Nice place to stay.”

– Danielle V TripAdvisor.

A shop is available in the reception area for guests to purchase any basic amenities they could need.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities. We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa. Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
