A stay at Bushmans Kloof is the perfect moment to enrich your mind and feed your soul through art, literature, nature and cultural history.
Immerse yourself in the ancient rituals of the San people with a visit to our fascinating Heritage Centre, or settle in at the library to delve into the many reference works on offer. The walls of the lodge are filled with artworks from the Tollman family’s private collection, including a remarkable suite of bespoke creations from the acclaimed Ardmore Ceramic Gallery. Come evening, delve into the world of South African wine, or let one of our nature guides take you on a stargazing journey through the southern skies.
Bushmans Kloof is a proclaimed South African Natural Heritage Site, and the custodian of more than 130 San rock art sites, dating back as far as 10,000 years. Led by our expert guides, step out on foot to discover the remarkable rock art of the reserve.
Bushmans Kloof offers the perfect opportunity for a journey into your own creativity. The dramatic mountains and ever-shifting light across the landscape make it ideal for a painting retreat, or use the solitude and silence to inspire your own words down on paper. The reserve is equally a paradise for photographers, the rugged sandstone ridges set aflame by the setting sun each evening.
You’ll also find inspiration in our well-stocked library, or a deeper connection to nature with a wander through the landscaped gardens of indigenous fynbos, and the bountiful orchards within the Walled Garden.
