Glamping Oakhurst Garden Route
LOCATION: Western Garden Route
Oakhurst farm is one of the few remaining large working farms along the Garden Route and covers a massive 640 hectares – 200 of which are pristine fynbos and indigenous forest. To fully immerse visitors in the beauty of the surroundings, Oakhurst overlooks rolling green fields and the beautiful surrounding Outeniqua mountains. Here the breathtaking Wilderness meets the Garden Route’s lesser-known farm lifestyle.
The Wilderness area offers guests the opportunity to explore the iconic Garden Route. Famous for its long stretch of unspoilt beaches, rivers, lakes and lagoons, Wilderness is a nature lover’s paradise. The famous ‘Map of Africa’ viewpoint at Wilderness Heights shows off with a breathtaking vista of the Kaaimans River valley. Dolphin Point at the top of Kaaimans Pass has a magnificent view of endless ocean, with regular sightings of whales and dolphins in season.

Oakhurst has 8 glamping tents (up to 5 guests per tent). Accommodation is all about boutique glamping, where guests can experience the freedom and beauty of the great outdoors, without compromising on the comforts they love. The custom-designed boutique glamping tents are spacious and fully furnished with excellent kitchens, comfortable bedrooms (two separate bedrooms), and large showers.
Meals form a special part of any holiday in South Africa. Oakhurst offers delectable locally sourced breakfast and braai (BBQ) baskets for guests to cook in their fully equipped kitchens or on the braai.
Try your luck at a spot of fishing or take out one of the canoes on the large farm dam close to the dairy. Kilometres of well-maintained single track through the forest is ideal for mountain biking or trail running and the farm’s majestic waterfall makes for an adventurous forest hike.
There is so much to do in the area, visitors will be spoilt for choice. Hiking, dolphin and whale watching, hang gliding, paragliding, horse riding, mountain biking, scenic drives, the Wilderness Lakes Art Route, and ferry cruises all deserve a spot on your Wilderness bucket list. If you enjoy shopping, Wilderness also has many craft markets selling beautiful, locally made items.
