Why We Love it and You Will Too
- Dabble in delicious wine tastings from some of South Africa's local vineyards. The cellar is well stocked at Cederberg Ridge, and the food here is also incredible!
- Take a guided excursion or self-hike along the Sevilla Rock Art Trail to discover some ancient rock art sites. Delve into the history of what is believed to be the oldest indigenous population in Southern Africa.
- If you're visiting in August/September, you'll get to experience one of the most exquisite shows by Mother Nature – the Cape spring wildflowers.
- Hike, bike, rock climb, or nip over to the little town of Clanwilliam to discover a delicious bounty of local products, from homemade jams, wines, honey and of course, rooibos tea.
- There's a lounge, bar, spa, a shimmering pool, and indigenous gardens (with boules and croquet facilities).
Your Cederberg Wilderness Experience
Leave Table Mountain in the rearview mirror and make your way to Cederberg Ridge Wilderness Lodge when you want to discover the lesser-known parts of the Western Cape.
Cederberg Ridge Wilderness Lodge is located on a 3000-hectare citrus and grape farm at the foot of the Cederberg Mountain range. This refined hotel will reward you with direct access to the full delights of the region – hiking, biking, wine tasting, and a glimpse into the intriguing history of the San people.
Cederberg Ridge offers a modern take on a farmhouse - homely, refined and easy on the eye. Surrounded by a wide, shaded veranda with ample seating, perfect for taking in the surrounding views (when you're not out exploring, that is). The main lounge also offers comfortable seating, and there's also a well-stocked library and entertainment centre.
Expect to eat well at the onsite restaurant, and drink well too... there's a wide range of local wines on offer which you can pick and choose from. Pack a bottle or two in a picnic, and find a sunny spot out on the hotel lawns. There are even facilities for a round of boules or croquet.
Stretch out the legs along the hiking and mountain-biking trails that crisscross the property. Follow the trails to the Maltese Cross or Wolfberg Cracks, or follow the Sevilla Rock Art Trail which meanders through nine ancient rock art sites.
