Lodges in Clanwilliam

Christer Sweden

This was the second time we was here. We was here 2 years ago in November 2019 and that is the reason we are back. It's fantastic little place, with great staff and Management ( Craig and his wife( sorry can't remember your name )). Last time we had a great tour the cave paintings. We started at 0530 as it was VERY VERY hot - up to 42 degrees ! But a fantastic tour with a very good guide, so this time we took the mountin tour and also the tour on the damm. It wasn't the biggest of boats, so it was Craig as the "captain", med and my wife and a couple from Capetown and then it was full. VERY windy ( small waves) and the damm is very loong - 22km. Craig told us about the damm and we also stopped for some drinks. Nice tour, but the wind wasn't that nice. The mountin tour with Craig was a great trip as well. Quiet cold - down to +10 degrees up in the mountins. But it was very interesting to move around among great rock formations and great views. We stopped at Cederberg Wines for a wine tasting and we also had our lunch there - as the weather wasn't the best. Wines from Cederberg are very very good - so if you haven't tried them - please do ! Last time we stayed in the Classic Room( mountin views ) and it was good and now this time in one of the suites - PERFECT! Fantastic room and views ! Did sleep like a king ! The food is still very very good - but last time it was slightly better. But the service is still fantastic ! It's a place to love and to come back to, many times more....

The clue is in the name. A total retreat. An escape. Bill and Jeanine have created a paradise. The chalets were beautiful. The staff were friendly. The food was out of this world. They are such good cooks. The highlights were the vegetables cooked over the open fire. Fire roasted cauliflower and beetroot. Mushroom cooked with peanut butter. The meat was beautifully cooked but the star of the show was the veggies. That being said, it was all wonderful. The work they do in rescuing animals and their love for the area stands out. Their pets made the stay even better. To see such wonderfully peaceful and happy animals speaks volumes when you know they’re all rescues.

A beautiful place for some peaceful days and an amazing night sky. The area is ideal for hiking and finding new ways through an untouched area.
