  • Description
  • Facilities
Frontier River Resorts is a luxury tented resort situated on the South African bank of the Orange River, just 5 km from the border on the N7. The resort is built on a hill with a spectacular view of the river and Namibia. We are the ideal stop over location between South Africa and Namibia, being situated almost halfway between Cape Town and Windhoek on the N7. We are also ideally situated for any 4x4 enthusiasts looking for a luxurious and comfortable alternative to camping.

The Orange River, one of South Africa's major rivers, is truly one of the purest adventure trails in Southern Africa. The Gariep River, or Great River as it is called by the local Nama people, offers a unique outdoor experience to those who seek tranquility and adventure. The Orange River cuts through the Richtersveldt Desert Reserve and is now part of the Transfrontier transformation parks. Days are spent with early morning paddling, swimming, floating, bird watching and negotiating some rapids and fast-flowing water. Guides will take you through the steps of paddling through rapids, hiking and in general discover the eco system of the desert.

We offer accommodation in six luxury free-standing permanent safari-style tents. Each tent contains an en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning and has only one entrance. The bathrooms were built using stones collected from the surrounding area and each tent is surrounded by grass and incorporated with local stones. A tented catering boma equipped with a built in braai, work surface, fitted stove and oven, double basin, a table and benches is available for use by guests or you can go for a fully-catered option of three meals that can be delivered on-site or enjoyed at the Bushwhacked Main Camp 3 km away and then enjoy a drink in the bush-style pub afterwards.

We were happy with the accommodation provided.

Six great chalets but tucked away down a slope with insecure parking, carrying of luggage and personal insecurity as no contact person. There is NO RECEPTION or anybody there! You are supposed to phone a cell number! A feeling of vulnerability and owners getting quick money for little input. Chalets should have parking and someone to BE THERE... What a pity that it is so inadequately serviced! Could be a great stayover. And the chalets do not look like this picture here.

The accomodation was nice thank you. We have a complaint regarding the eating facilities, having to drive 5km further on to Bushwackers to have supper (chicken potjie) which we feel was overpriced. There were no condiments besides salt and pepper and when we asked what was for breakfast the next morning the young chappie said that he would have to think about that. We promptly cancelled breakfast as we thought we would be sorely disappointed and R75.00 p p for breakfast that couldn't even offer you tomato sauce is definitely not an option.

A breath of fresh air welcoming you into a new day is a blessing. The view is spectacular from your doorstep. The place(chalets)is beautiful.
