More

Where Nature Meets Luxury - The ultimate wilderness experience to escape, rest, heal and be at one with nature, with wide open plains, mystical rock formations, crystal clear waterfalls and an abundance of flora and fauna. A 7500 hectare malaria and predator free haven nestled at the foothills of the Cederberg Mountains, just 270km from Cape Town. This South African Natural Heritage Site is home to over 130 documented Bushman rock art sites and the internationally renowned Rooibos tea. Sleep Beautifully - Bushmans Kloof offers a range of beautifully proportioned rooms, suites and a private villa. We can accommodate 34 guests, all in sublimely appointed spaces. Award-winning service, generous hospitality and luxurious finishes, such as our outstanding private art collection, enhance the extraordinary environment of the Bushmans Kloof lodge. Koro Lodge is an existing farmhouse, nestled in the reserve, that has been completely renovated and transformed into a spectacular intimate villa, surrounded by open vistas of wilderness and wildlife, combining ultimate luxury with nature. Koro Lodge is available for larger groups, ensuring effortless and hugely enjoyable family breakaways for up to 10 guests. The splendid luxury of our accommodation amidst botanical gardens and pristine wilderness will draw you into our special world, while small surprises and thoughtful touches throughout your stay augment the experience. Food & Drink - Bushmans Kloof is the home of authentic Cape cuisine. As a Relais and Chateaux property as well as Africa's only National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World, we have exceptionally high standards with regards to the quality and creativity of our cuisine. The organic garden provides the kitchens with fresh, robust produce, while indigenous fynbos adds a distinctly ‘Cape’ dimension to a fusion of innovative and traditional fare. Our passion for service and hospitality ensures every meal is a special experience. Dining options include The Homestead which is the heart of the lodge; Makana, which was designed to emulate the sheltered ambience of an open-fronted cave; Kadoro, originally an old shepherd’s house, the structure has been renovated and furnished, but not modernised; Embers is perched on a dramatic cliff and overlooks the spectacular valley below. It is lit by a roaring fire, and a myriad candles and lanterns create a truly magical atmosphere. We can also organise dining experiences in the Walled Garden, a picnic in the Reserve and our River Boma Extraordinary Dining Experience. The Spa - The surroundings are therapy in themselves, but The Spa is the focus of the abundant natural healing energy one experiences at Bushmans Kloof. Recent awards include the Best Spa in Africa & Indian Ocean at the Global Spa & Wellness Awards. It’s a peaceful sanctuary where one can surrender to the ancient mystical powers of the African landscape, rejuvenate all your senses, replenish your spirit and achieve deep inner peace and harmony. We are dedicated to restoring beauty and balance through individual treatments and Spa journeys, personalised for each of our guests by exceptionally skilled therapists. Our commitment to wellbeing focuses on holistic principles, combining ancient wisdom with modern expertise. Activities - Wellbeing is a state of mind, body and spirit - at Bushmans Kloof you are invited to indulge in the renewal of all three. Whether you would like to explore your adventurous nature, unwind your body or soothe your soul, we offer an activity to match your requirement. To experience the best of this magical wilderness reserve and wellness retreat, you are invited to combine a variety of activities where nature meets luxury.
