About Bushmans Kloof Lodge

Fresh mountain air and natural elegance at this exquisite lodge in the Cederberg.
Steeped in ancient San Bushman history and surrounded by the craggy mountains of the Cederberg, Bushman’s Kloof is an elegant, colonial-style lodge that’s a study in effortless luxury. Set in its own private reserve, days can be spent exploring the pristine surrounds, discovering exquisite rock paintings, game driving amongst the antelope and admiring the magnificent flora. But with beautiful rooms, adorned with heavy antique furniture and sumptuous linens, a heavenly, all-natural spa, and some of the best food in South Africa (all sourced from the organic gardens, of course), we wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t ever venture outside the gates…

Property details

The property

Whatever the weather and whatever time of year you visit, Bushmans will have a space to suit. In winter, lunch and dinner are served in the Homestead accompanied by roaring fires and plenty of red wine. There’s also a small swimming pool, gym, cosy bar and a library and museum up here, as well as a scattering of outdoor tables under the vines. Next to the lake is the Makana, the summer dining area, with glorious high ceilings and views of the water and mountains ahead. There’s also a beautiful spa and plenty of nooks and crannies amid the expertly-manicured gardens to hide away in with a good book.

The rooms

The rooms and suites have all been built with the utmost luxury in mind. In whitewashed buildings dotted around the property, all have a traditional feel that’s balanced with pristine white linens and contemporary touches. Choose from Luxury Rooms with patios and garden views or Deluxe Rooms with wood-panelled indoor sitting rooms and beautiful private pools. There are also several suites, some well-suited for families, others for couples looking for a spot of romance and intimacy.

Activities

Activities at Bushmans are as leisurely or active as you like. Nature drives will reveal wildlife species like springbok, eland and cape mountain zebra and the guided rock art excursions to the well-preserved art sites are fascinating and a highlight of any stay. There are also botanical walks, fishing trips and plenty of hiking and walking trails, as well as canoe excursions down the Brandewyn River. Or, if all that sounds too much, how about a massage in the award-winning spa, complete with views of the burbling river…
Why we love it

Why we love it

The refined yet totally relaxed atmosphere; the luscious surroundings; the wonderful staff; being treated like royalty.
Insiders tip

Insiders Tip

The extra dining options cost a little more but they are worth every penny. Our favourite is dinner at Kadoro, a converted shepherd’s hut with no electricity and just the flickering of a thousand candles to set the mood...
