Rockwood Karkloof Nature Reserve

 
 

Description

Rockwood offers luxury self-catering accommodation across the indigenous forest of the private Karkloof Nature Reserve and tranquil Midlands farmland. Rockwood Forest Lodge and Rockwood Mountain Lodge offer utterly secluded luxury accommodation within the reserve itself, whilst Rockwood Farm Cottage and Rockwood Farm House are more centrally located upon Spitzkop Farm.

Rockwood has entered and won a number of award programmes, most recently being a finalist in the SA Tourism Welcome Awards and AA Accommodation Awards. We are also accredited by the Midlands Meander Association and TKZN. All accommodation is serviced twice daily and guests will find a starter pack of basic condiments, linen, towels and amenities are provided upon arrival. Activities in the area include mountain-biking, fishing, hiking and the Karkloof Canopy Tours. There really is something for everyone at Rockwood.
