For anyone seeking complete calm and relaxation amidst truly magnificent and uplifting scenery with the very best service and subtle luxury then Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve and Retreat is for you!
Situated in the majestic and savage beauty of the Cederberg Mountains, Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve and Retreat is a luxurious and heavenly wilderness surrounded by reddish sandstone rock formations, natural spring waters and waterfalls. Bushmans Kloof is the perfect place to awake one’s senses and enjoy nature at its best. Here in the Cederberg, guests can enjoy an extraordinary diversity of geology, flora, fauna and rock art including an indigenous wildlife of over 35 species of mammals including the Cape Mountain Zebra, more than 150 kinds of birds including the majestic African Fish Eagle and over 755 plant species within the reserve such as the endangered, endemic Clanwilliam Cedar Tree.
Bushmans Kloof is a Relais Chateaux attributed property and it is not surprising why with its impeccable service and attention to details, mouth watering cuisine, beautifully furnished and decorated rooms and complete sense of calm and comfort. With only 16 rooms and suites guests can completely relax and unwind in the tranquil surroundings doing as much or as little as one wishes.
There are fabulous daily guided rock art walks before breakfast studying the history of the San people, sunset game drives, bird watching and fishing and swimming in the one of the many pools on the property. Bushmans Kloof is somewhere to completely relax, switch off and simply read a book or maybe take a walk along one of the nature trails as the sun sets before indulging in another delicious meal beneath the African sky or on the atmospheric terrace dining room.
Bushmans Kloof is ideal as part of a tour around South Africa and a fabulous honeymoon venue and can also be taken exclusively for wedding parties and family gatherings with its easy access from Cape Town. Captivating, invigorating and the very best in wilderness luxury, we cannot recommend Bushmans Kloof too highly.
