Highlights & What to Expect

  • Guided excursions to well-preserved San rock art sites on the private reserve (by scheduled outing).
  • Nature drives and guided hikes focused on fynbos, geology, birdlife, and plains game rather than Big Five.
  • Seasonal wildflower displays in spring that transform sections of the landscape.
  • Holistic spa treatments and outdoor relaxation areas for post-activity unwinding.
  • Flexible dining from formal venues to atmospheric open-air settings on the reserve.

Location & Setting

The reserve lies near Clanwilliam in the Cederberg Mountains, roughly a 3.5-hour drive from Cape Town. Granite outcrops, sandstone formations, and riverine pockets create varied habitats for endemic plants, birdlife, and plains game. The lodgings are set within landscaped gardens that contrast beautifully with the surrounding wilderness, offering quiet viewpoints and easy access to the activity hub.

Rooms

Accommodation is comprised of 16 elegantly appointed rooms and suites at the main lodge, designed for comfort and serene views. For guests seeking absolute privacy, the reserve also offers standalone villas and private residences suitable for families or small groups. Interiors feature natural textures, climate control, and luxurious amenities, often complemented by unique antiques and artwork. Specific configurations, including the exclusive private residences, can be tailored to meet privacy or space requirements upon request.

Facilities

Dining ranges from an intimate main restaurant to atmospheric outdoor venues used seasonally and in fair weather. Guests can book guided rock art excursions, botanical walks, birding, nature drives, stargazing, canoeing when conditions allow, and refreshing dips in clear natural pools. A spa and tranquil relaxation nooks encourage slower afternoons, while curated day plans help balance exploration with restorative downtime.
