The Tent
Klipkopje Luxury TentA private retreat designed for comfort, simplicity and connection with nature.
Overlooking Lake Longmere Dam, our luxury self-catering tent has been thoughtfully designed to feel both luxurious and grounded. Every detail has been carefully considered—from the 600 thread count Egyptian cotton linen to evenings spent around the fire.
Whether you're escaping for a weekend or settling in for a slower stay, Klipkopje invites you to leave the everyday behind.
Reconnect with NatureLeave your shoes at the door and step into the rhythm of the farm. Wander along quiet walking trails, discover indigenous flora and wildlife, watch birds dart between the trees, or simply sit still and take it all in. Here, nature isn't something you visit—it's something you become part of.
Slow LivingThe days unfold gently at Klipkopje. Wake with the sunrise, enjoy unhurried breakfasts on the deck, spend lazy afternoons with a good book, soak in a long bath or rinse off beneath the outdoor shower. There is nowhere to rush to and nothing expected of you—only space to breathe.
Evenings Under the StarsAs the sun sets, light the braai, pour a glass of wine and gather around the fire. Listen to the sounds of the bush, watch the flames dance, and look up to a sky filled with stars. It's often these simple, unhurried moments that become the ones you'll remember most.
ResetKlipkopje is a place to disconnect from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with what matters. Put your phone away, breathe a little deeper, sleep a little longer, and leave feeling rested, grounded and gently restored.
Reconnect with your body and mind as you escape the noise of everyday life.

Klipkopje is located just outside White River town and is easily accessible by most vehicles. The final stretch to the farm is a well-maintained dirt road, and standard cars are generally able to reach the tent without any issues.
If your vehicle is exceptionally low to the ground, we recommend taking a little extra care, as the road can be uneven in places.
During the summer rainy season, heavy rainfall can occasionally make sections of the dirt road more challenging. In these instances, a vehicle with higher clearance or a 4x4 may be preferable. Rest assured, our team closely monitors the road conditions and will always let you know in advance if the weather has affected access or if we recommend using a different vehicle.
Detailed directions and arrival information will be shared with you before your stay, and we're always just a phone call away should you need any assistance getting here.
The journey is all part of the experience—leave the tar road behind, slow down, and enjoy the beautiful Lowveld scenery as you make your way to Klipkopje.

Inside, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen complete with a SMEG oven, toaster, kettle, cookware, utensils, crockery, cutlery, serving dishes, wine glasses, and everything you'll need to prepare and enjoy your meals.

The bathroom includes plush bath towels, shower gel, and a hairdryer, while two air conditioners keep the tent comfortable throughout the year.
Outside, you'll find a private deck, braai facilities, and all the essential braai utensils, along with complimentary firewood to enjoy relaxed evenings around the fire beneath the stars.
We've also included a few thoughtful touches to make your stay even more enjoyable, including torches for the evenings, a curated selection of books to read at your leisure, and a collection of classic games for slow afternoons and cosy nights in.
Every detail has been carefully considered to create a stay that feels both luxurious and effortless, allowing you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life on the farm.
