Gecko Creek 2.5 hrs drive from Cape town is the perfect getaway. Linton has produced an oasis in a spectacular setting where less is definately more. Just off the N7 15 to 20 min up a dirt track road gets you to their site. Full kitchen facilities, 5 star toilet and shower block, Boma for chilling, bri, watching the fire, drum playing and discovering you and those sharing the space. Cabins are awsome , amazing views from your bed, tents are perfect, comfortable and share the same awsome views. Chill down by the pool, star gaze at night floating in the pool , stars are awsome never seen so many. Site is clean and tidy and Linton and Veronica set space that is warm friendly and accommodating. There is really nothing here that is not to like. There is an aerodrome nearby offering choice of flights from Aerobatic to gentle siigh seeing over the cederberg. The flying was amazing, doing barrel rolls and whatever else Johan the pilot did was such a blast. 750 R for half and hour in the aerobatic and 2500R for an hour flight in the bushcraft shared by 5 passengers means that whatever floats your boat is affordable. River is nearby, Linton can provide canoes to play with, horse riding and hiking all easily done or you can just sit, chill and enjoy being more of you at this perfect location. Thanks again for the experience.

To my friends at Gecko Creek:
It was with a heavy heart that I said goodbye to your corner of paradise. What I loved most about my stay with you was the way it made me feel about myself. The tranquil beauty of the mountains evoked strong emotions and your warm hospitality and generosity of spirit were the perfect reflection of that gentle majesty.
My early morning walks on the mountains will remain my favourite memory but there are so many others. The amazing caves and hiking trails nearby, gathering for dinner in the lapa, our long talks into the night while gathered in the Boma under that spectacular night sky listening to the African drums ....
Your facilities are amazing! The perfect balance of privacy within the cabins and on the mountains with comradery and friendship in your lapa with its superbly outfitted cooking facilities and the Boma at night. You have truly achieved the perfect balance of rustic lifestyle with just the right amount of creature comforts.
I hope with all my heart that I will return soon.

What a wonderful place to escape from the world. one night was just not long enough. Waking up to birds singing is highly recommended for the soul. Love all the extra care taken with the facilities. Impressive. Lovely to meet you Ingrid and Charles. Hope to be back. And thanks for getting our jackets back to us.

Dear Ingrid
We had a wonderful Easter break. What a special, peaceful place ! We felt so grounded and tranquil during our stay and we have taken a piece of that back to Cape Town with us.
Please pass our thanks and appreciation to Charles for his insight and we thoroughly enjoyed his quided tour of the rocks, caves and bushman paintings. Give Hoka a pat!
We will see you again when the spring flowers are in bloom!

An amazing weekend - star filled nights, sun filled days, silence and relaxation. An incredible place for down time and to re-connect with nature and one-self.

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit in Geckos Creek Lodge. Es ist ein so fiedlicher Ort, an dem man sich perfekt erholen kann. Man wurde von Ingrid, Hoka und Charles sehr sehr herzlich empfangen. Besonders der Abend mit dem Lagerfeuer und dem Sternenhimmel bleibt mir in unvergesslicher Erinnerung. Ich kann diesen Ort nur wärmsten empfehlen.
Vielen Dank für die schönen Tage!

Wir hatten eine unglaubliche Zeit die wir sicher nicht mehr vergessen werden! Überall erkennt man die Liebe zum Detail und die Zeit die investiert wurde um alles so perfekt zu schaffen! Die Begrüßung ist warm und herzlich und man fühlt sich auf Anhieb wohl! Den Sternenhimmel nachts und das Blumenmeer tagsüber werden wir wohl immer in Erinnerung behalten. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und kommen bestimmt wieder, der ideale Ort um Erholung und Entspannung zu finden!!

We came to Gecko Creek as part of Ross' "coming of age/holiday of a lifetime" I'd hoped it would be magical not only for him but for all of us and it far exceeded our expectations. There can be very few places on this earth that provide such an oasis of tranquility. True silence, stunning scenery, breath-taking night skies and incredible plant and animal life. The accommodation and facilities are just perfect- the Buma campfire memories will stay with us forever. But most of all the warmest of welcomes, expertise and friendship of Ingrid and Charles made our stay at Gecko Creek stand out as a true once in a lifetime experience. We can never thank you enough.

Ich war Anfang des Jahres leider nur zwei Tage bei euch. Aber diese Tage und diese Sternennächte werde ich mein ganzes Leben nicht mehr vergessen!! Dieses Herzklopfen, dass ich beim Anblick dieses Platzes hatte war so intensiv, dass ich es heute wieder bekomme, wenn ich daran denke;)
Ich hoffe, der Wein hat geschmeckt. Auch wenn es ein roter war;))
Ich wünsch mir sehr, irgendwann wieder zu kommen...

Nancy and I spent just three nights at Gecko Creek, just as spring turned into summer, and we will never forget them. What's amazing is that we can both conjure the magic of that place even though we are months away and 10,000 miles distant (I spent much of the last two days shoveling snow).
If you ever want to hear the sound of the land, to experience the fullness of life within the silence, go to Gecko Creek and stay for as long as you can. You'll be delighted by the people and by Hoka. Just don't scratch his head for too long!
Thanks to everyone at Gecko Creek. Linton, you've assembled magic.

In the alternative route book, we found this amazing site where we have stayed for 3 nights. We did not plan anything, but we were so impressed by the beauty of the place, the total silence and quietness, the gentil encounter with Hoka, the wolf, the other guests, Linton and Ingrid who made us feel at home immediately, that we spontaneously stayed for 3 nights. And it will certainly not be the last time! The drumming session and the interesting talks by the fire were just some of the many highlights at geckocreek.
If you want to be one with nature and yourself, then Geckocreek is the place to be!
Thank you for sharing your dreams with us. See you next time. And hug Hoka from us.

I feel it is near impossible to explain the magic of Gecko Creek, so at the risk of sounding like a wannabe poet by using too many adjectives and dramatic speech, here are just some of the major highlights described in an honest, trying-not-to-sound-overly-dramatic way... ;)
In no particular order...
Higlight no1: The beauty of the landscape - it's not something I appreciated as I arrived, but somehow it reveals itself to you bit by bit, throughout the day as it unfolds, and as the 'blinkers' come off your eyes. Highlight no2: The stillness... how do you explain something you haven't heard before? The feeling of complete safety, enveloped in the loving arms of nature. Can stillness be loud? Beautifully loud. Highlight no3: The night sky with a million little lights, awestruck at the magnificence as you gaze up from the Boma or through the window of your cabin while safely tucked in your bed.
A precious place. A great place to hideaway, rejuvenate yourself, center yourself or just to be yourself. Can't wait for my next visit!
Thank you Linton for making your special place available to others. We feel grateful for having experienced it.
