Description

Peace, tranquility and quiet. Rooderandt Hillside Lodge is situated in the picturesque Schoemanshoek Valley near Oudtshoorn and is surrounded by the enchanting Swartberg Mountain Range. Rooderandt’s raised location offers a spectacular view across the valley and is abundant with indigenous fauna, flora and birdlife on its 3.5 hectares of unspoilt land. Definitely unique with its mixture of nature, culture, 19th Century World Charm and true Klein Karoo hospitality.

The House is a trove of African culture, stylishly decorated with attention to detail, furnished throughout with genuine antiques, complimenting a true South African atmosphere. Here décor is character, stretching far back into history with its popular beam reed ceilings, an original 1897 Bolinder cast iron stove and the manor's imposing front door, originally from a 17th century hunting lodge of Simon van der Stel.

The four private cottages combine the old and the new. Each one is individually decorated with genuine antique furniture, 19th century stoves, and fireplaces combined with the convenience of air-conditioning. Each cottage is equipped with spacious private bathrooms and has a patio offering unsurpassed views across the valley. The honeymoon suite is perfect for a romantic getaway, Stylish, spacious, luxurious, warm and comfortable.

The honeymoon suite has a private entrance, plunge pool and private garden. Another of the major advantages of staying at Rooderandt Hillside Lodge is the fact that it is situated in the heartland of attractions of the area making it an ideal location from which to explore the world famous Cango Caves, Ostrich Show Farms, Wildlife Farms and a vast number of other tourist attractions.

This place was a very pleasant surprise. Our stay was very short but we enjoyed every moment. The host cares a lot about her guests and really makes you feel at home. She had very useful ideas of where to go for dinner and sight seeing. The breakfast was very delicious. We will go back.
Enjoyed!
