- A campsite review of ATKV's Eiland Spa - a family resort that lies within the borders of the Hans Merensky Nature Reserve. This well-run and well-maintained resort has something to offer every member of the family and is a much loved spot for pensioners escaping the cold of winter further south.

This video review certainly captures the resort beautifully. We have visited this resort about 5 times and have always had a wonderful experience. The cold, hot and hydro pools are my all time favorites.
Thank you for the kind words! We also loved the pools - although we didn't venture into the cold pool in August!
Many thanks for the kind words and support - much appreciation!
An excellent video. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words 😀

Glad you're enjoying it there - it is very well-run and maintained.
Goeie werk julle
Many thanks!
Hi great and very informative video. I'm considering visiting either Eiland or Tshipise campsite this June to avoid the cold in Gauteng, I've also watched your Tshipise review. How would you say they compare to each other? My kids are 5 and 10 so I have to have them in mind when selecting the campsite. Thanks!
Hi there BananaCamper! To start with, I love both, but I think your kids would prefer Eiland - Tshipise, my favourite winter campsite is filled with "swaletjies" and pensioners over the winter months - Eiland too has a number of more senior campers, but there definitely were more children there when we visited in June 2023. Please check, but I think Eiland is more expensive, especially during the school holidays (but we are only 2 and the sites take up to 6 I think, which makes a difference). Both have lots of activities for the whole family and both have fantastic outdoor warm/hot pools. Tshipise is also further in distance. Both are fairly isolated in that it all happens on the resort with very little options nearby to explore. We are off to Tshipise for some of June and all of July, but my suggestion would be Eiland for your children.
@@GallivantingSA Thank you for your recommendation. I've been to a few ATKV and Forever resorts and my perception is the ATKV network has a better standard (in general). Also, you can book a specific site on ATKV and Forever is first come first serve which for me is not good as I always come late to the the resort. I'm still monitoring the weather and hopefully it will be warm enough for a good camping in June!
