We had been recommended to visit here by the staff at the Oyster Box, and we weren't disappointed. The welcoming staff created an amazing first impression. The rooms are extremely comfortable, very well appointed and are set along the side of a small lake, facing a picturesque rock face. The meals were very good, with excellent use made of local produce. The cleaning staff were extremely good without being at all intrusive - the rooms were always spotless. Kudos to them. The food and beverage staff were extremely friendly and looked after us well, although we sometimes had to wait a bit for drinks orders. The situation of BK deserves an essay of it's own. The Cedarberg is an exquisite part of the world and the scenery is beautiful in a very unique way. The rock art sites of the San People are plentiful on the reserve and I would definitely recommend taking one of the morning drives to visit them. The late afternoon drives are more focused on game viewing and are really good. I must give a HUGE shout out to our personal guide Eric. He was extremely knowledgeable and was very helpful in us identifying many species of birds that we had never seen before. The stop for sundowners was always a highlight and a chance to experience the quiet of the Cedarberg. Highly recommended!…
We had heard great things about Bushmans Kloof before our visit and we were not disappointed. The Cederberg has amazing scenery and it follows that this reserve is simply stunning. There is so much to commend about our stay * the accommodation provided was excellent - I’ll say no more so you also enjoy the surprises. * the staff were simply awesome. - nothing was too much bother. * the food is simply gorgeous. I defy anyone to eat breakfast, lunch, high tea and dinner. * the daily trips delight whether it’s going to see some rock art or the nature drive. * absolutely loved the wine tasting experience. * plenty of other things to do - hiking, mountain biking to name but two. You pay a premium to stay but it’s absolutely worth it to treat yourself well nice in a while. If you can afford the price this is stunning South African hospitality at its best. A three hour drive from Cape Town-…
We were lucky to have stayed here 4 days and have enjoyed each one. My wife and I are very active and there was remarkable experiences to be had from beautiful hikes to evening Safari rides to viewing of rock art, canoeing and fishing and so much more. The food quality so far exceeded expectations as did the wonderfully friendly fun and kind staff. This place is truly special. We’ve traveled throughout the US and other countries and rarely had an experience like this. It reminded us a bit of Sedona Arizona and Moab Utah. The pictures don’t do it justice. The landscape surrounding the hotel is rugged and beautiful but has to be seen in person to be appreciated. Worth every bit of the 3+ hour drive from Cape Town.
This was our second visit to BK and this time we decided to fly up to make our stay extra special. We actually left Windhoek at 1.40pm and were sipping tea at BK by 5pm, having flown there via Cape Town. Our return visit to Bushman’s did not disappoint- from being met at the airstrip by the wonderful Zenobia to check in by Kayla and the welcome and hospitality by Michel and his team - everything was exemplary. We were very fortunate to stay in Cederberg House for our four day visit which was so beautiful and nothing was too much trouble for the team. You do have to remember this is rural South Africa and therefore there will be animals that come sometimes annoying - we chased off the baboons (as did the staff) but we knew we had to close outside doors if we were not directly in the room as they are opportunistic and can wreak havoc. But being able to sit by our pool and watch red hartebeest and various birds play was superb. The hike to the crystal pools was amazing - we couldn’t do that the last time we were at BK as there hadn’t been rains. So much to do so we have booked again for next year!…
We stayed with friends in the Koro Lodge and were treated so well at all times by a very polite and friendly staff. The whole place is beautifully set, the rooms are very-well appointed and one can relax completely and peacefully. The food and wines were of very high quality and in very generous quantities. The drives with the ranger were very informative and pleasant.
My wife and I visited for four days. A gift from our children in celebration of our 50th Wedding anniversary. We stayed in River Side lodge. This is a breathtakingly beautiful tranquil spot with memories made forever. The drive to the Lodge is typically South African - good roads, fabulous views, wonderful weather, and a welcome to set the stage. Go and be impressed by it all!
A huge “thank you” to Rory, Stephan, Seppie and the wonderful support team at Bushman’s Kloof for a great mid-week-break. Vovo spoiled us non-stop. Stephans cocktails were out of this world, with the best Margarita we have ever had!! Food was excellent!!, our suite very comfortable, with views over a dam filled with lillies Overall a great experience which will be repeated in the not too distance future Again , thank you to all…
A wonderful spoil. Everything was superb from the moment we checked in until we left - with our car having been washed & vacuumed, fresh bottles of mineral water inside and butter biscuits with a note. The setting is magical. Beautiful walks and discovering bushman caves. Our guide Londi was knowledgeable and excellent on fauna, flora and the Khoi & San people. Food is superb. They cater meticulously for any dietary requirements. Wonderful wines. They have a superb spa with great treatments which we indulged in. Could not recommend it more highly.
A few months ago (June) I celebrated a special birthday and decided to treat my family of eight ( including my two children, spouses and two grandchildren) to five nights at Bushman's. On the morning of the third day (my birthday), my wife was attacked by a baboon inside the kitchen in Koro Lodge where my daughter, her husband and two children were accommodated. She suffered multiple breaks to her right femur and wrist. The staff were understandably shocked and upset but not withstanding their earnest attempts to get us assistance, they were of very little use. I managed to get an ambulance that arrived three hours later followed by a four hour drive to a hospital in Cape Town. Four months later, my wife is mobile on crutches but has lost most of the mobility in her wrist. How would one expect the management and owners to respond? Shamefully I'm afraid. They sent a small posy of flowers to the hospital with a "Get Well Soon' card and nearly a month later refunded me for the two nights we'd been forced to abandon with a note from reservations saying they hoped to see us back at the lodge again in the near future. That's it. Quite shameful lack of interest or concern for my wife's condition and recovery. I've selected to give a two star rating because the accommodation, etc. is lovely.…
We stayed for 2 nights at Bushmanskloof. The property is beautiful, the staff was amazing and food as well. When booking it directly on their site, I could only find packages incl. massages etc., which we did not want or need. So, on day 1, I asked why there was no possibility to book just room and board. I was told there was, but only for South Africans. I tried to see on their website right there and found out that they discriminate in their rates. In ZA, the rate was approx. 25% lower (difference of 350 USD per night) for the same room. I don’t believe that is justifiable and reasonable. Did not expect such treatment at a property of this level.
