We offer audacious travelers the ultimate glamping experience, by staying in our authentic wooden gypsy WAGONS or in our quirky CAMPER VANS, so they can experience a taste of magical gypsy life, without having to travel far out of the city and without compromising on any of life’s luxuries. THERE IS A BOREHOLE ON THE PROPERTY, INSURING THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE WATER. There are 4 hand crafted wooden Gypsy WAGONS (bungalows) each one is unique with her own personality, colour scheme and finishing touches. They sit under majestic oak trees. From the outside they appear to be traditional wooden wagons, featuring hand carved and hand painted detailing. Although the interior is very similar to the traditional gypsy wagon with its raised bed, it is far more luxurious and caters for the modern traveler's every need. We have 2 Gypsy CAMPER VANS (comfort cabins) to choose from. One is a vintage VW Autovilla - Delilah the dreamer. The other is a custom converted panel van - Tilly the flamingo. Our Camper Vans are quirky and luxurious. Fully equipped in side. Both have electricity, running water, hand basins and porta potties. There is an out door waterfall shower and toilet in the nearby bamboo forest. The vans are parked in their own private part of the property. Please ensure that you select the correct unit of your choice.

We have loved this beautiful village of Clarens since our first visit over 15 years ago. We (Sandy, Shane AND MURPHY) love sharing our favorite local places with our guests. It is great to meet amazing and fascinating people from all over the world. We provide a friendly, tranquil, happy place for our guests to relax and recharge. We love all things Gypsy Life! Our Gypsy Haven is our Happy Place!

Clarens is a quaint arty village, surrounded by mountains. The town is filled with unique shops, art galleries and numerous eateries. Tranquility really is the prize for anyone who wants to get away.
