This is where you will find one of the most amazing hideaways in the Western Cape. Set amongst the mountains and the famous red hills, in our own private nature reserve and surrounded by game reserves – a secret place of magnificent views, glorious sunsets, star filled nights without a single city light to distract you, wonderful encounters with wildlife, fabulous food, long nights around the blazing fire and yet a mere 15 minutes away from the bustling town of Oudtshoorn and even less to the major attractions of the region – from the breathtaking Swartberg Pass, to the wonders of Meiringspoort and everything else that makes Oudtshoorn the tenth most visited region in South Africa!
Zwartberg View Mountain Lodge is a destination in itself, a true retreat, an opportunity to loose oneself in an ancient landscape without foregoing any of the pleasures of being in a top rated lodge anywhere in Africa – personal service, well appointed accommodation, good food, great service, good internet reception, and most of all, an opportunity to spend a few nights in an environment unlike anything else.
Best of all is that the Lodge is Midway between Cape Town and Addo – A Perfect Stopover!
One thing is for certain… when you’ve stayed at Zwartberg View once, you will be back!
