About Gecko Rock Private Nature Reserve
Gecko Rock Private Nature Reserve offers comfortable accommodation in the Nougaspoort Valley, just 25 km from Touws River, and offers visitors an eco-adventure destination. Our aim at Gecko Rock is to offer our visitors an unparalleled outdoor experience in one of the most unique natural areas on earth.
Gecko Rock is located within one of the World's most unique regions. Known simply as the Karoo. The name, ‘Karoo' originates from the Khoikhoi tribe, who long ago called the region ‘Garob' - meaning place of great dryness. The word eventually changed to Carro, and finally its present day form.

Loadshedding Facilities
What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Verified review
The scenery, the silence, the trails that we walked, the break from cell phones, emails, social media, etc. We walked the Seattle trail, glad that I did not put my vehicle through this route. We understand that the trails have been driven by 4x4 vehicles two weeks before our stay, but whoever drove that trail, knew what they were doing!
