The lovely mountains. We stopped and it was a spiritual moment.
The friendly people. The absolute laid back atmosphere. The scenery.
The hiking trails to the waterfall
We did not have enough time to explore the area but with a follow up visit will look at other landmarks in the area
Natural water and huge rock formations
Not a far drive from Cape Town but you get away from everything
Mountains, outdoors, tranquility.
World class destination :)

The exclusivity and distance between the cottages allowed us privacy and safety, by social distancing, from other guests.
More info about Cederberg
The Cederberg is a mountain range stretching approximately 100kms in a vast wilderness area. It covers 83000ha of mountains, valleys, fynbos vegetation and streams. The Cederberg Wilderness area falls within the Cape Floral Region, a World Heritage Site. The two main towns nearby are Clanwilliam to the north, and Citrusdal to the south in the Western Cape Province It is a 200kms drive north from Cape Town.
The Cederberg was named after the hardy Clanwilliam Ceder tree, now close to extinction. The tree is a protected species.
In winter, the area around the Cederberg is awash with ripe citrus orchards and snow-capped mountains. In spring the fields are carpeted in colourful and unique wildflowers. Summer rains bring rapid flowing rivers ,and the Clanwilliam dam wall spewing overflowing water is a sight to behold.
If you are a nature lover looking for peace and solitude, the Cederberg is your ideal destination.
