Can I bring my own alcohol?

The Beach Camp™ has a licensed bar, that is exclusively for residents, therefore personal alcohol is not allowed on the premises.
However, we understand that not everyone enjoys box wine, which means if you want to bring your own bottle of wine you can – we charge a corkage fee of R25 per 750ml.

What can’t I bring?

Pets
Stress
Electronic music or other noisy behavior
Own alcohol
Glasses for beverages – why not? http://www.beachcamp.co.za/faq/
Bright florescent lights since they attract the “unwanted visitors” – head lamps work just fine.

Do we need to cook our own food?

We can do dinner, lunch, OYSTERS and breakfast for you with prior notice (usually a week in advance) or you can be self-catering.
Meals need to be booked a week in advance – sometimes a little longer.
If you are allergic to washing dishes, but still would like to self-cater, we can take care of this for you at a fee – don’t forget to inquire. We have a fee for group bookings as well.

What does the price of accommodation include?

The Cape Columbine Nature Reserve fees, therefore you can enjoy the whole Reserve
Free tea and coffee in the morning till 11am
Use of all our cooking and eating utensils and facilities
Access to The Beach Camp™ “residents only” bar & Yerba Maté bar

What happens if I am staying for a while, how do I get my clothes washed?

We can offer you an outsourced laundry option.
You can drop your laundry off in Vredenburg at On The Spot on your way through and they will deliver it cleaned at our venue should you be staying with us for a while.
If you are only staying 1 or 2 nights you can collect your laundry on your way through Vredenburg on the day of your departure (carbon footprint)
Who is On The Spot and why do we use them? http://www.onthespotlaundromat.co.za/
These fees are not included in your accommodation and can be paid with On The Spot directly.

I have even more questions, who can I speak to?
