Nuwerust Rest Camp is a beloved Cederberg institution, offering a true and authentic escape into one of South Africa's most majestic mountain ranges. True to its name, this is a place where visitors find "New Rest", a chance to disconnect from the hustle of daily life and immerse themselves in the raw, dramatic beauty of the wilderness. It’s a family-friendly and affordable basecamp for a holiday filled with adventure and profound tranquility.
The camp provides a generous number of spacious campsites, thoughtfully laid out to maximize the stunning views of the surrounding rock formations. These sites are equipped with power points and each has its own braai drum (just remember to bring your own grid). The entire camping area is serviced by well-maintained ablution facilities that provide reliable hot water, a welcome comfort after a day of hiking or exploring.
The real magic of Nuwerust is its natural playground. The farm is famous for its incredible hiking trails, which range from gentle walks to challenging climbs, including a route that leads to a spectacular waterfall. The crystal-clear rock pools are a highlight for many, offering a breathtakingly beautiful and refreshing spot to swim on a warm day. As night falls, the lack of city lights reveals an astonishing canopy of stars, providing the perfect end to an unforgettable day.
