Setting Description

Set on Jansekraal Farm near Citrusdal in the Cederberg Mountains of the Western Cape, the cottage sits right on the edge of a peaceful farm dam, surrounded by citrus orchards, tea fields and mountain views. It’s a private, safe spot to slow down, swim in the dam, or cast a line for bass from the lawn.

The farm offers plenty of space for walking, hiking and mountain biking along quiet tracks through orchards and fynbos. Nearby, the rooibos and citrus country around the Piekenierskloof Mountains is known for tea tastings, farm stalls and wine at Piekenierskloof wineries. The renowned The Baths Natural Hot Springs are an easy outing, while day trips deeper into the Cederberg bring sandstone peaks, rock art and superb hiking. All of this lies around a two-hour drive from Cape Town, making Clementine Cottage an appealing “Escape from Cape Town” without a long journey.

What We Love

-Dam-front position with wraparound deck for sunrise coffee, lazy lunches and evenings listening to frogs and birdlife

-Properly equipped kitchen, aircon and Wi-Fi, so longer self-catering stays are easy and comfortable

-Great base for exploring Citrusdal’s hot springs, rooibos experiences and the wider Cederberg hiking and wine routes
