New meaning to relaxing

We arrived after the long drive, three hours from Cape town, to a wonderful friendly welcome. Our room was older and the cheapest offering, it was fine. The great thing was the view outside of the dam and scenery. The bird watching was amazing. I...More

Away from it all

Getting to Bushmans Kloof involves a 3.5 hour drive northwest from Cape Town along increasingly empty roads and over a couple of spectacular passes. After the gate the gravel road takes you another 8km or so across a landscape that is very rugged, rocky and...More

On a visit along the garden route.

Wonderful position with lovely views out to sea. The land is full of beautiful wild flowers and a sea trip is very worthwhile. Saw wales and dolphins, swimming seals and penguins. Food at the retreat was top quality and we were very well looked after.

Dear Blond_e005, So glad you got to experience some of the magic of Bushmans Kloof. Two nights is often not enough to take in all the activities and also some time to relax. Hope to see you back in the Cederberg soon. Kind regards

Kloof

Stopped here for 3 nights on a western cape trip. It’s a retreat, not a big 5 safari lodge. As a result the clientele felt a little older and perhaps a little less inclined to get involved in all the activities on offer. For example;...More

Dear GrahamL-S, Many thanks for your comments and glad you had some quality time on your own. The beauty of Bushmans Kloof certainly is in it's solitude and space. We are certainly having a look at the High Tea and meals in general and hope...More
