Treedom: Gypsy Vardo

Nestled in the Langvlei Dunes of Wilderness, not far from the Lakes Area National Park and spectacular Wilderness Beach, is Treedom Villas and Vardos. The eclectic, colourful, eco-friendly sanctuary blends luxury and warm hospitality in a wild and beautiful natural setting. It’s home to two unique Vardos (gypsy wagons) and a triple-storey treehouse villa, all designed with romance, relaxation and magic in mind. They can be booked per unit or on an exclusive-use basis.

Those seeking a truly unique forest glamping experience will love the vibrantly painted Vardos, both wonderful, liveable works of art. Perfect for a romantic escape, each wagon sits in a private garden, where a mini greenhouse strung with fairylights extends your living space, and a daybed provides the perfect spot to settle down with a book, or stargaze around the fire at night.

When you’re ready to venture beyond this romantic bolthole, the beautiful forests, lakes and beaches of the Garden Route beckon with outdoor activities galore.

Come evening, treat yourself to a private dinner in the Treedom forest under a natural handmade woven tunnel with seasonal menus, twinkling fairy lights, hanging lanterns, and a magical atmosphere (menus are bespoke and designed per dinner, so booking in advance is essential).
