Arrive by Boat ‱ Secluded Karoo Retreat ‱ Hot Tub

Private Romantic Karoo Retreat on Route 62 | Hot Tub & Total Seclusion | Arrive by boat

You are the only guests.

A 100% private retreat in the Little Karoo, accessible only by boat.

Soak in your private wood-fired hot tub, watch the mountains turn gold at sunset, and reconnect under some of the clearest night skies in South Africa.

No neighbours. No shared spaces. Just mountains, water, wildlife and silence.

The property:

Tula Retreat is a completely private wilderness sanctuary on the edge of Calitzdorp Dam.

The retreat is accessible only by boat, ensuring a rare level of privacy that is almost impossible to find elsewhere.

Designed primarily for couples, with space for up to four guests seeking complete privacy, Tula Retreat blends the raw beauty of the Karoo with refined off-grid luxury.

Spend your days kayaking, hiking or fishing, and your evenings beside the indoor fireplace or soaking in the hot tub beneath endless stars.
