A little bit of heaven, wonderful hosts. Terrific campsites on the banks of an unpolluted river. Great camping facilities.

Spent a long weekend camping at Evergreen. The campsite amenities are amazing and the river ensures that there is never a dull moment for kids. The campsite is spacious and the hosts are gracious!

It you're looking to switch off and reconnect with nature, Evergreen River Guest Farm is definitely a hidden gem. Waking up to the sound of the flowing river and brids singing, quickly makes you forget the world you left behind. Rob and Lynnie are outstanding hosts, warm, accommodating, and passionate about making your stay special. Their cabins are homely, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need. Highly recommend

Awesome place to escape to away from the city! If you looking for some quiet time away this is the place to come to. We love camping and this was perfect. Each camp site has its own private ablution and kitchen area. The hosts Lynnie & Rob are absolute gems and ready to assist with anything you need. No cell signal at the campsite but we went for a nice long walk to catch up with our messages. Big bonus is that they are petfriendly 🩷 We will definately come back again.

What a restful and peaceful place! Everything that our souls and minds needed. We stayed in the Firefly cottage which was comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. The space felt very private and you really do feel one with nature due to the endless views and the beautiful chatter of birds throughout the day. Then at night you are blessed with an abundance of stars to gaze upon as you sit alongside the braai or boma. There was no cellphone reception at our particular location which suited us perfectly! Nothing like a digital detox to really allow you to unwind and rest. An added bonus is that we were able to bring along our dog who enjoyed the walks around the property and the cool downs in the water. From what we could tell from the other guests staying there, it would also be a lovely place for children. Lynnie and Rob are wonderful hosts who ensured we were well looked after. We were sad to leave after our stay and will definitely be back in the future!

We booked a campsite at Evergreen River Guest Farm but Lynnie and Rob kindly put us up in one of their beautiful cottages because of heavy rain.We were so comfortable! We were sorry we weren't able to use the campsite because it looked really wonderful and has some great facilities. The farm is breathtakingly beautiful and the birdlife is amazing. We recommend Evergreen River Guest Farm to anybody visiting the area. Lynnie and Rob are perfect hosts and lovely people.

Evergreen River Guest Farm was absolutely magical. We stayed in Bushwillow, It was clean and a wonderful campsite. It is close to the river and has everything a campsite needs to be comfortable. Plenty of shade and flat ground to pitch tents. Lynne and Rob are fantastic hosts and are willing to help when needed. The kids had an absolute Joll in the river and was a fun time for all.

I camped for a week and had a lovely time. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. Ablutions and kitchen clean and a pleasure to use. Sleep at night with the sound of the river. Cell phone signal is limited. Will visit again.
