Cederberg Ridge
A luxurious farmhouse retreat 2.5 hours from Cape Town in the rugged and peaceful Cederberg Mountains where ancient rock art lies preserved, and hiking and biking trails contour through botanical fields and boulder-strewn ridges.
Cederberg Ridge Highlights
Cederberg Ridge embraces the wild, untamed spaces of this mountainous Western Cape country from its refined and sophisticated farmhouse-style wilderness lodge. It celebrates the subtle colours and textures of the dusky sunsets and crisp winter skies, warming every nook and cranny with soft blankets, wood-burning fireplaces, and comfortable furniture. Summer days spent in the swimming pool with a view, relaxing on the terrace with a selection of Cape wines, or waterskiing at sunset on the nearby Clanwilliam Dam. The use of wood, stone, and other natural materials is a celebration of the surroundings, which extends to each suite’s boutique detail.
