For the most part, accommodation in the park is simple and rustic. There are guest houses, camping spots, huts and even a lodge, giving guests a variety of staying options. The majority of the accommodation is self-catering so again, planning and packing your trip properly is important if you want to get the most out of your stay.
The two cottages guests can book include the Paulshoek Cottage and the Varschfontein Cottage.

Varschfontein Cottage has three bedrooms and six beds, a bathroom, open plan kitchen and dining room, a reservoir to swim in, a two plate gas stove, a solar fridge, paraffin lamps, a boiler, and an indoor fire place. Guests need to book at least two nights stay as the cottage is in a remote area of the park.
