Beautiful and serene. This is a definite go back and visit again place as there is so much to do and see that one just cannot do in one visit.

The Goukamma Cape Nature reserve have always been one of my favorite getaways. The park have suffered unimaginable damage after the 2017 wild fires. The fynbos veld have been completely destroyed. 2021 The fynbos is growing back very nicely. The indigenous Melkhout forest were also devastated but there is still patches of forest unscathed accessible by the hiking trails.

Peace and quiet, a wonderful retreat. We stayed in Otter's Rest which is lovely and very well equipped

Stunning stunning stunning! Pure natural bliss! Well maintained and enforced conservation area, with lots of bird life and marine life.

Amazing how close you get to nature. you should be fit. Wear a hat with straps as it gets windy. Take water, at least 1 1/2 l. And take a snack.

I visited Goukamma on the free access week. Had a wonderful family braai. Sunny, beautiful water. The braai facilities are very clean and the bathrooms are clean and comfortable to use. The hiking routes are fun and easy to follow.

Our first time to Goukamma Nature Reserve. We booked Blacktail chalet - 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom. The signs getting to our accommodation must be improved - we kept missing the little slip road to the right. We missed the gate closing time and struggled to get hold of the emergency contact people. After calling several times we did manage to get hold of Thulani who came to our rescue. We loved our stay. We did the Buffels Bay trail - 5km - we started our hike at the restaurant area, walked along the beach. The trail signs were also not well marked - Cape Nature staff should die these hikes and make improvements. That said, The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. We loved the outdoors here and would definitely want to come back for a longer stay to enjoy the hikes. There's some restaurants outside the reserve. Beautiful sunsets. Prolific bird life. Beautiful views from our chalet. The hot tub was fun and we could see the moon and the stars. Note. Only eco logs are allowed here. They didn't have any at the campsite so we had to drive 38km to the Knysna Spar to get them. I recommend you call the Spar to check if they have stock - otherwise buy at your nearest store to avoid frustration. We still did have such a fabulous time here and want to come back soon

We enjoyed our stay in one of the reserve's well-maintained chalets. Friendly and helpful staff.

Wonderful hiking and walking reserve. Fairly well maintained. Little boat to cross the Goukamma River to start one's hike needs a little maintenance and life-jackets need to be replaced.

Beautiful coastal hikes. Cano along the Goukamma river. Various accommodation options.

Very nice fishing spot. The road is a bit bumpy for an average vehicle and can be a bit challenging. Some nice musselcracker was caught a fee days before our arrival, the usual.. but overall very nice. Take lots of sunscreen along..

Stunning, quiet and magical place, take a bag with you to collect washed up litter.

Lovely wild and peaceful area along side the body of water leading out to sea. Great place to relax and unwind. Ablutions at hand with seated areas under trees for shade with braai stands ready for the traditional braai and beverage. Canoes to hire for self navigating the body of water.

Beautiful hike through the fynbos with great views of the coastline. Adventurous river crossing by pulling your boat over yourself.

A beautiful unspoilt beach with a boardwalk leading down from the parking area. Fishing is permitted and it's safe to swim.

Awesome place to spend the day,fish,swim or even canoeing,not alot of shade though,be warned you will burn badly if you didn't bring your own form of shade, Lovely place for the family.

Great nature but just one trail with ocean view and all other trails we made in other parks were better than here. But although a nice place!

the place is much more nicer that the website advert. they could ask a professional photographer to take pictures to help with proper advertisement

A little known place to visit but should be a must if you want a casual, laidback day. Had a moments honesty from the staff. Left a gas bottle there and they found it. Thank you.

Sunsets are amazing at this normally quiet parking spot just before entering BuffelsBaai

This is a heaven on earth! 🤩 Best sunsets ever!

Wonderful place to walk to at low tide. Superb striations on the dunes and wonderful views towards Wilderness on a clear day.

This place gets full points and 5 stars in my opinion....if u r the outdoor type and enjoy nature and doing kayaking and fishing and hiking and non motorized watersports along rivers and estuaries with direct access to the beachand venturing slightly of the beaten track then this comfortable well priced accommodation is not to be overlooked.
