Comments, Rules and Notes

Articles: South African Country Life - Feb. 2003 No. 79, page 82 Go! - Jan. 2007 No. 7, page 28
Comments: Yellowwood is set in a beautiful garden on the bank of the Inchara River, 1 km from Morgan Bay Beach. This peaceful place is surrounded by enormous trees and lush riverine vegetation. A bird watcher’s paradise, offering a quiet intimate place for nature lovers. The camp ground has a choice of shady sites and electrical points are available. A rustic thatched bush camp, tucked away on the riverbank is a perfect hide away and our loft gives you a birds-eye view of the trees. Relax in the tea garden for light meals and refreshments or enjoy a delicious wood-fired pizza. Our gift shop offers interesting local arts, crafts, clothing and a selection of books
Additional Comments: Campsite close to the sea
Special rules: We generally prefer peace and quiet as we are situated in a very natural setting. We would allow some noise if the group were the only ones in the campsite. No generators allowed. New years eve partying is an exception
Other: Laundry & cell phone charging. Fridge & freezer only available out of season
