Balie's Gat Camp and Accommodation

For an unforgettable breakaway, visit our remote valley and in deep nature, recharge your body, soul and mind. For those who love hiking, trail running and mountain biking, there are many paths and trails. For those who like relaxing and unwinding, come and sit in the shade on the grass and read and swim and absorb the sights of the rock formations and sounds of the birds and bees.
