High Mountain Stone Cottage in the Cederberg

Surely the highest cottage, at 1200m altitude, in the Cederberg with spectacular views of the Koue Bokkeveld and the Cederberg. It is set against a mountain peak surrounded by pristine Cape flora. A place of retreat and deep silence. The cottage, with its beautiful woodwork and stonework, belongs to another era. Recently it was renovated with a larger kitchen and a braai room as shelter from summer southerly winds and to catch sun on winter afternoons. A private rock pool is 150m from the stoep

All about Clanwilliam Dam

Located at the foot of the Cederberg Mountains in South Africa’s Western Cape, the 141-foot-high Clanwilliam Dam was constructed across the Olifants River to irrigate the area’s agriculture, primarily wine grapes and rooibos bushes for tea. These days, the reservoir provides opportunities for visitors to enjoy all sorts of water activities, including swimming, waterskiing, canoeing, and paddleboarding. Fishing is another popular pastime, most commonly for small-mouth bass.

If you’d rather stay on land, there are plenty of hiking trails that meander through fruit orchards and into the mountains. History lovers will want to seek out caves that house Indigenous rock paintings. The nearby hamlet of Clanwilliam is one of the oldest towns in South Africa, with a rich history that you can learn about on a historical walk through the town center. You’ll also find barbecue restaurants and tearooms here where you can refuel and sample the local beverages.

What are the top things to do in Clanwilliam Dam?

Water sports

The main reason people come here is to get out on the water, whether they’re taking a gentle cruise in a canoe or doing some high-octane jet skiing. Whatever your interest, head to the Water Activities Centre and an instructor will show you the ropes. You can even head up, up, and away under a parasail for an adrenaline rush and far-reaching views of the region.

Ramskop Nature Reserve

The Ramskop Nature Reserve on the northeastern bank of the dam is one of the best places on the Western Cape to experience the beauty of the area’s native flora, with hundreds of varieties to see here. Walk the hour-long trail in August or September to see this sanctuary in full bloom, with carpets of flowers and beautiful views of the lake beyond.

Sevilla Rock Art Trail

This self-guided tour, 40 minutes northeast of the dam, visits nine rock art sites. The route takes around three hours along a trail that follows the Brandewyn River. Pick up a map from the tourist information office in Clanwilliam and set off to find rock paintings that are estimated to be between 800 and 8,000 years old.
