Cederberg Ridge Wilderness Lodge

Cederberg Ridge is a luxurious wilderness lodge offering delicious food, warm hospitality and adventure. It overlooks the panorama of the Cederberg Mountains with its raw, rugged beauty. Enjoy a stylish ‘away-from-it-all’ experience, yet within easy reach of Cape Town and the Winelands – only a 2½ hour scenic drive.

 

Cederberg Ridge has the authentic ambience of a modern African Farmhouse with much use of wood and natural textures. The warm and inviting interiors, with vaulted ceilings and wooden beams, give a light and airy feel. Large French windows open to a generous covered terrace and dining deck overlooking the garden and mountains beyond.

 

With 11 spacious rooms and suites, restaurant with a view, large swimming pool and indigenous gardens flowing into the veld, this luxurious retreat offers space and style in the midst of wilderness.

Rooms & Suites at Cederberg Ridge

Classic Rooms

The two classic rooms are perfect for those who like to be close to the action, as they are in the main Homestead. These elegant rooms are smaller (32 sqm) with full en suite bathroom with bath, shower and double vanity.

The Classic View room opens onto the main terrace with views over the garden towards the Mountains. It has an enclosed toilet.

The Classic Courtyard room does not have Mountain views. It overlooks the  courtyard and indigenous grasses.

Superior Pool Suite

The two Superior Pool Suites are at each end of the property giving superb mountain views. They enjoy the same décor and facilities as the Superior suites. Extra touches are a wood-fired plunge pool, which can be heated in the winter months. And queen-sized day-bed, perfect for sun-bathing or sleeping alfresco under the stars.

One of the suites has a small sitting area with a sleeper couch so it is perfect for a family. Both have an adjacent Luxury Suite, so that families with older children can be close together.

Superior Suite

The four Superior suites are a little larger (64sqm) enjoy the same décor and facilities as the Luxury suites. Extra touches are a large walk-through shower, built-in day beds on the generous terrace (30sqm). Here you can enjoy alfresco sleep-outs, (though we rather recommend the Pool Suites if this interests you.)

One Superior (Honeymoon) Suite (67 sqm) has a separate sitting room and generous terrace. it is ideal for those seeking privacy and space. It can also be combined with an adjacent Luxury suite to make a two-bedroom villa for families or friends. (It shares a covered foyer only.)

Luxury Suite

These three luxurious, airy rooms (52sqm) have stunning views over the Cederberg. Each offers plenty of wood and natural textures. Cosy window seats invite you to relax with a good book or simply contemplate the glorious mountain views.

In summer, air-conditioning ensures a serene night’s sleep. In winter you can curl up with a glass of wine around the wood-burning fireplace.

Enjoy the beautiful free-standing bath with its expansive view. The indoor shower leads out to an outdoor shower with mountain views. In front is a charming stone terrace offering both sun and shade. Here you can enjoy alfresco sleep-outs.
