What a gem!! If your looking to detach from the busy world this is the place. The attention to detail in the rooms are unmatched. From the beautiful complimentary oranges off the farm to blits and black bags, they think of EVERYTHING. Breathtaking views, stunning hikes, spotless cottages and hot tub.

Accommodation Description
Tucked away in the Citrusdal Valley of the Cederberg, Cederkloof Botanical Retreat offers pet-friendly hot tub cottages surrounded by the beauty of the Western Cape. Set on a 200-hectare farm, the retreat combines comfort with nature, providing a peaceful escape into the fynbos-rich landscapes.
Each cottage is designed for privacy and comfort, featuring self-catering facilities, cosy fireplaces and private decks with hot tubs that invite relaxation under the stars. With one- and two-bedroom options, the cottages are ideal for romantic getaways or family escapes. Guests can enjoy air-conditioned rooms, modern en-suite bathrooms, and sweeping views of the valley.
Setting Description
The retreat is in the Olifants River Valley, a region known for its scenic mountain backdrops and tranquil atmosphere. The surrounding natural environment is marked by indigenous fynbos and citrus orchards, creating a lush and fragrant setting. Close to the rugged Cederberg mountains, Cederkloof provides easy access to the area’s dramatic landscapes and outdoor adventures.
Guests can hike and bike on trails within the property or explore the Wolfkop Reserve nearby. Citrusdal is known for its wine and gin producers, offering tastings at local farms. River activities, including canoeing and bodyboarding, add to the adventurous options, and day trips to the Cederberg Mountains reveal ancient rock art and unique sandstone formations.
