Accommodation Description

Ananda Cabin at Ashanté Boutique Retreat is a sophisticated off‑grid eco‑sanctuary designed for two. The one‑bedroom cabin features a luxurious king‑size bed, an indoor two‑way fireplace and an open living area that flows into a fully-equipped kitchen. The bathroom combines a freestanding tub, indoor and outdoor showers and organic toiletries. Guests step onto a private deck – complete with daybeds, braai/pizza oven, and wood‑fired hot tub – all powered by solar energy. Rustic comfort is elevated with high-thread linen, electric blankets, insect repellent, a Bluetooth speaker and a hammock. Thoughtful extras include binoculars and a bird‑watching guide. This secluded retreat offers the perfect balance of luxury and ease for a restorative getaway.

Setting Description

Anchored on the unspoilt banks of the Olifants River and surrounded by the rugged Cederberg Mountains, Ashanté is a haven of natural splendour. The cabin enjoys total privacy, with no neighbouring units intruding on the terrain. Guests can immerse themselves in birdwatching from the deck or follow river trails for stand‑up paddling and fishing. More adventurous visitors can tackle local rock‑climbing routes, while evenings are reserved for stargazing around the fire pit under an expansive night sky. Situated just over two hours from Cape Town and near historic Clanwilliam town, the retreat offers a peaceful escape with access to local culture, such as visits to Bushman rock art, rooibos tea farms and the seasonal Wild Flower Show. Sustainable, characterful and deeply rooted in its environment, the setting at Ashanté invites a journey of reconnection with both nature and oneself.
