Multi-award winning Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Wellness Retreat in the foothills of South Africa’s Cederberg Mountains has just opened Cederberg House, a stunning private villa accommodating up to four guests in seclusion and luxurious comfort.
Overlooking the peaceful Boontjies River, the villa’s timeless design inspired by
Cape Dutch architecture blends seamlessly into the landscape. Raw materials including stone and slate flow generously through each room which is accented with curated original works of art by some of South Africa’s most 
renowned artists including Esias Bosch, Gabriel de Jongh, Walter Battiss and Tinus de Jongh.
Ideal for families and small groups of friends, guests at Cederberg House experience all the gracious hospitality and all-inclusive personalized service for which Bushmans Kloof is so well known. All meals, activities, a private guide and vehicle take you into the open plains, sandstone formations, breathtaking flora and fauna, and 10,000-year-old rock art sites.
The secluded villa includes two large master suites with their own outdoor showers, state-of-the-art technology, fully stocked
bar, dining room and spacious living area. In addition to the artwork, amenities include B|J Africa Signature spa products, indigenous flowers, scented candles and delectable treats from executive chef Charles Hayward and his team. The large private terrace and pool are ideal for connecting with the sights and sounds of nature as night quietly ends the day. For larger groups, Cederberg House can be booked with the nearby Riverside Supreme Suite accommodating up to six, or Koro Lodge, a private, fully-catered villa with its own chef that accommodates up to 10 guests.
“I am so proud to unveil Cederberg House as the latest, truly special addition to Bushmans Kloof,” said Toni Tollman, head of global design for Red Carnation Hotels. “We set out to create something that seamlessly connects our guests to the surrounding landscape in total privacy and seclusion. Drawing at all times on a natural and timeless aesthetic, our approach was to complement the wilderness experience while delivering the ultimate in comfort, hospitality and service. I really believe that this is one of the finest private accommodations in South Africa, in the heart of this unique and beautiful reserve.”

Also a Relais & Châteaux property, it has been awarded ‘African Natural Heritage Site’ status for its tireless work in the preservation of the 130 ancient San rock art sites on the reserve.
