Soak It In: Eco-Pods & KolKol at Mount Camdeboo
Posted on: 27 March 2025 Written by: Newmark Hotels & Reserves
Why the Eco Pod Trend is Here to Stay
Jay Shafer is said to be the pioneer of the modern tiny house movement after he built the first in 1999 and successfully lived in it for five years. The trend caught on fast as travellers sought new ways to experience the wild up close and personal. This migration towards slower, simpler living is unlikely to change any time soon due to its stress-free authentic appeal.
At Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve, the Eco Pods mimic the philosophy behind tiny homes, fulfilling the fantasy of escaping into the woods and leaving the world behind, even if just for a couple of nights. Guests are immersed in nature and experience the sunrise, sunset, breathtaking views and crisp Karoo air up close without distractions.


KolKol Hot Tubs
Each Camdeboo Eco Pod has a wood-fired KolKol hot tub. As temperatures cool down in March, this is the ideal time to take advantage of an indulgent, hot soak in an eco-friendly hot tub. Dipping into your open-air hot tub with nothing but clear skies and magnificent views surrounding you, this simple experience makes the journey to Mount Camdeboo that much more worth it.

Melt away your stress and get your own personal taste of cabin life in the pristine, secluded location of the Great Karoo. Book your stay at Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve with Newmark Hotels & Reserves. An eco pod and hot tub are waiting for you this season.
