Best hotels in 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…

Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve is a unique piece of wilderness in South Africa’s Cederberg region. The arid landscape has an other-worldly quality, with bizarre rock formations, rugged mountains and open plains dotted with fynbos and succulents. And it's this dramatic landscape, that was once home to the San Bushmen, that Kagga Kamma Lodge draws its inspiration, from the traditional African-style Huts, the unusual Cave Suites built into the sandstone rock overhangs, and the fabulous open-air Outcrop and Star Suites. There’s plenty to do on the reserve, and this is a great choice for those who enjoy nature and outdoor activities.

Mountains are often the unsung beauties of South Africa's diverse landscape. A prime example is the Cederberg range, northeast of Cape Town. Here the landscape is rugged, with dramatic formations, plunging waterfalls, and ancient rock art. Book a stay in the new lodge, Cederberg Ridge, to make the most of the stark beauty. The lodge lies on a 3000-hectare citrus and grape farm at the foot of the range. Both homely and refined, it's a modern take on a farmhouse. From here, you'll have access to all this region's delights – hiking, biking, wine tasting, and and an intriguing past.
