Discover the rugged splendor of the Southern Drakensberg at the uniquely named Cedarberg Guest Farm. Situated in the foothills of the majestic Maluti mountain range between Kokstad and Matatiele, this is a destination that offers a genuine escape from the well-trodden tourist path. Don’t let the name confuse you with the Western Cape; this is a true Drakensberg sanctuary, a place of profound peace where the raw beauty of the landscape takes centre stage and the hospitality is as warm and authentic as the surroundings.
The camping experience here is designed to immerse you in this idyllic natural setting. You can choose a beautiful, shaded site nestled under mature trees, right next to the gentle, steady flow of a mountain stream. Imagine waking up to the soothing sound of running water just steps from your tent. Alternatively, another scenic site is available right next to the farm dam. While power points are limited, encouraging a more rustic experience, the heart of the camp is its wonderful communal lapa. This is the perfect spot for guests to gather, share a braai, and forge new friendships under the vast, starry sky.
What truly defines this guest farm is the generous, personal touch of its hosts. The ablution facilities are clean and provide the essential comfort of hot showers. In a thoughtful gesture of classic farm hospitality, guests have access to a washing machine, completely free of charge—a welcome convenience for any traveler. The farm also extends a warm and practical welcome to pets, with a clear and reasonable policy for visiting animals. It is this combination of a spectacular setting and heartfelt, genuine hospitality that makes this farm a truly special and memorable retreat.
