The details that shape your stay

Journey

The drive or air arrangement from Cape Town should be protected with realistic timing.

Climate

The Cederberg brings hot summers, cool winter nights and seasonal river conditions.

Activities

Rock art, drives, walks and dining experiences depend on guides, weather and fitness.

Children

Family rooming and activity suitability should be matched to ages.

Private villas and the River Side Supreme Suite

There is no club lounge. Suites add separate living and broad terraces, while the River Side Supreme Suite pairs three outdoor terraces with a private heated plunge pool. Private villas offer the most complete family or group retreat.

With more than 20 years in travel, deep expertise across Europe and luxury destinations worldwide, and established hotel relationships, Evyssa will:

• Match Bushmans Kloof to the travelers, occasion and wider journey.

• Communicate celebrations, family needs, dietary preferences, accessibility considerations and other special requests.

• Connect the hotel with private touring, dining, transfers, flights, rail journeys, cruises and the rest of the itinerary.
