The name Kadoro translates as ‘a tinderbox of stories’, and if the walls of this historic cottage could talk they’d surely have many tales to tell. Today this restored shepherd’s house has been transformed into an intimate and exclusive space where candlelit tables are set beneath wooden rafters to offer an utterly unique private dining experience.
Your time at Kadoro begins in the late afternoon, when guests leave the lodge on a mesmerising sunset nature drive through the reserve. As the sandstone cliffs glow a deep burnished orange, you are welcomed at Kadoro by a blazing campfire and flickering lanterns to enjoy the last rays of sunset on the sheltered Kadoro terrace.
While the talented Kadoro chefs create a gourmet feast over open flame, settle in at your table inside where dozens of flickering candles imbue the space with warmth and charm. On wintry nights a fire crackles in the wide hearth as you enjoy an unforgettable evening of food and wine.
Dinner at Kadoro is offered at R1200 per person, and is available on request only. Kadoro is ideal for couples and families, but small groups can also be accommodated.
Kadoro has no electricity; outside, the starlit Cederberg Mountains wend their way into the distance under clear night skies. Ideal for romantic private dining and intimate groups, a dinner by candlelight will give you a glimpse into a bygone era. Enjoy this rural setting alongside an exquisite culinary experience of delicious braaivleis (barbecues) or wholesome soups and stews.
