Ensconced in the magical Oliphant’s River Valley, the recently unveiled Clanwilliam Lodge is a colloquial gem emerging off the beaten track, oasis-like in its unforgiving semi-desert habitat.

Tucked away at the foot of the Cederberg Mountains and perched on one of the countries favourite dams, its rich settler history offers a central location for a variety of attractions.

Enjoy a hearty buffet breakfast every morning at the open poolside restaurant. Our visitors should prepare to enjoy balmy days lounging on Bedouin daybeds at the pool and hot windless nights in pure understated luxury.

Our extensive playground complete with trampoline and Jungle Jim, can keep the little ones occupied for hours. We can arrange for a picnic basket and after a day out and about, our guests can retreat to our sunken lounge or bar.

The treatment room on the premises offers luxurious massages. Our conference facilities can cater for 40 delegates and an adjoining courtyard is ideal for receptions and events.

We are situated a mere 5 min drive from the spectacular Clanwilliam Dam where visitors can partake in the likes of water skiing, wake- boarding, parasailing and angling.

Hikers and anthropologists can peruse Bushman Rock paintings or guests can visit the local planetarium. Clanwilliam is famous for cultivating Rooibos tea and factory tours are recommended.
