Karoo tranquility at its best


We had the perfect weekend getaway. The natural beauty of Elandskloof will definitely lure us back. The attention to detail and concern about our wellbeing by the hosts was always appreciated. Thank you. John, Lizelle & Nikalau

A Karoo - mountain experience!


Stayed for 3 nights - too short to explore everything on offer. Accommodation very good and well equipped. Environmental friendly - energy comes from wind, solar and gas - no Eskom connection. Friendly reception with lots of advice of what to do and see. Lots of places to walk and hike, cycle (mountain bike) and drive. The mixture of Karoo and fynbos vegetation makes it and interesting environment. Anysberg nature reserve 1 hours drive away but you need a high clearance vehicle. Elan ... more

Description



The Witteberg Private Nature Reserve is located 250 km from Cape Town in the heart of the Witteberg Mountains south-west of the historic village of Matjiesfontein. Three Witteberg vegetation units exist on the property, namely Matjiesfontein Shale Fynbos, Shale Renosterbosveld and Quartzite Fynbos. Indigenous fauna on the property includes grey rhebuck, klipspringer, duiker, steenbok, aardwolf, aardvark, black-backed jackal, leopard, caracal, Cape fox, bat-eared fox and many more. The prolific birdlife includes many colourful species of nectar sippers. The rich cultural-historic elements on the property include Late Stone Age artefacts, marine trace fossils, many historic buildings and other historic structures. The total size of the reserve is 4365 hectares, or about 44 square kilometres. A network of six 4x4 mountain trails covering about 48 km provide access to all corners of the property. These trails, originally constructed for flower picking purposes, are as follows: 1. Hoogmoed se Kloof trail - 5,4 km 2. Diep-en-Deur trail - 15,1 km 3. Hermaans se Werf trail - 3,8 km 4. Eendamshoek trail – 6,6 km 5. Driedamshoek trail – 6,2 km 6. Waterkloof trail – 10,6 km The beautiful natural environment, the well-documented cultural-historic elements, the special “sense of place”, the extensive network of 4x4 mountain trails and the clear night skies ensure that there is something of interest for all nature lovers and outdoors enthusiasts. The following self-catering accommodation is available: - A rustic historic cottage sleeping up to 6 people - Two 4-sleeper apartments - One 2-sleeper apartment All units are furnished and equipped.
