Ready to step into your own Wes Anderson movie? Say hello to Camp Canoe, a quirky and whimsical glamping stay just 1 hour from Cape Town, perfect for a spontaneous staycation or working remotely. This summer camp inspired stay will sweep you up in its charm, and have you reminiscing about the carefree days of your childhood!
Perched up high against the mountain on Boschendal Wine Estate, the seven luxury tents (spaced well apart for privacy) come with everything you need for a super comfy stay. There is a beautiful dam with canoes and bean bags to laze around the jetty soaking up the sun. You can also order picnic, braai and breakfast boxes from Boschendal — ideal for leisurely grazing and catering to every palette.
What we loved
It’s glamping like we’ve never experienced before! The tents are so unique and quirky and are equipped with everything you need for a super luxurious stay, including aircon, a fireplace, electric blankets and the cutest touches like marshmallows for that authentic camping experience! The staff are so friendly and amazing – the tents are serviced daily and your hot tub is lit, so you can just relax and enjoy your stay.
