We loved every minute of our stay. Especially the arrangements for the birthday celebration were high class. The staff was in all respects highly professional and just lovely people you want to talk to. Frekkie, the fieldmouse, introduced to us by our ranger Dave at the occasion of a game drive's break, demonstrated to us that even small things count... More

We had a wonderful time, the greeting, the guide, the trips, rock art, wild life and birds, star gazing, my massage and fishing, the staff, room and food were all exemplary. We both had a great time and would love to return one day.

We enjoyed every minute of our say and wished we had booked a longer stay. We went to rest and loved the fact that there was no cell reception! We enjoyed our private dinner experience and the spa was an added bonus.

Our sixth and best visit to Bushmans Kloof. The tranquility of the Cedarberg mountains, and the opportunity to view rock paintings created a thousand years ago, are just two of the things which make this such a special venue - a place to restore the soul. Plus, the staff, all of them, are marvelous

I had no idea that such diverse beauty existed so close to Cape Town. It is so different from the rest of the country's landscape. It reminded me of Utah/California desert. It is absolutely beautiful. There is so much to do at the lodge...relax, eat amazing food, go to the spa, see the cave paintings, go for walks with breath-taking... More
