What a wonderful place! What a wonderful stay! We came by car from Hermanus and were given a warm and friendly welcome upon arrival. As we had opted for the most luxurious suite on the premises (with our own splash pool!), our expectations were sky high. The suite itself was huge and very well equipped. The sun deck and the pool soon became our favourite. Food was excellent throughout our stay. And the staff too! We participated in several activities, all well prepared and interesting. Our guide Byron was super. My wife went fishing one day and caught two! I went off road biking on the nearby trials. And: We could move anywhere as there are no predators on the vast estate. Bushmans Kloof is pricy, but you get real value for money. Highly recommended and we hope to be back. Per

Really lovely chilled place. In all honesty there’s not a massive amount to do there (compared to other reserves) except relax & enjoy the food - albeit there are a few walks around the estate to do & couple of drives per day - but it was perfect for us. The food was generally very good & all the staff were not only very pleasant but also very helpful. It’s an old farm with a number of separate properties around the old main house & set around a large pond (so water birds & hundreds of dragonflies) close to a river through a valley. We saw zebra, Eland, Oryx & Red Hartebeest on the game drives (other guests also saw Baboons & Tortoises while we were there), so it’s not somewhere you’ll get the BigGame experience but it was still good. There were things on offer like mountain biking, canoeing & fishing, but to be honest we were too busy relaxing to try them. We stayed 3 nights in the Riverside room, which has a private pool & we had zebras outside at midnight & Red Hartebeest first thing in the morning eating the grass. However, it was the most chilled & relaxing place we’ve been to for a long time & it’s hard not to think we’ll go again next time we are in SA. Faults: nothing I can think of & anything you ask for arrives immediately.

OASIS IN THE WILDERNESS Bushmanskloof is a gem. Service is excellent, friendly and helpful with attention to the smallest detail, from your welcome on arrival to your farewell on departure. Dining is a wonderful experience as the food is of the highest standard, tasty and well presented. Congratulations to the chef. You are surrounded by a warm atmosphere and a very tasteful interior design. The collection of ceramics is particularly delightful. Our guide Liam was most knowledgeable and a source of much information. The picnic was a most pleasant experience. As a big surprise we were spoilt with a private dinner in a fairytale atmosphere created by a crackling fire and a lot of candles. A venue to be highly recommended.

This place is beautiful and everything is available for you to make your stay adventurous or peaceful. The spa staff was also great, very well trained and beautiful facility. We adored the entire outdoors for enjoying drinks and time with friends. Our guide, Zenobia Van Dyke, was so much fun. She has an extensive knowledge of birds, animals, habitats, cave paintings and Stars! She made this experience a 10 for us in every way. I must mention the food … amazing. My first time to try Ostrich steaks.. I’m hooked. The Vergelegen wine we had was wonderful too. The rooms luxurious and comfortable. I have nothing but praise for this lovely place!

There is a great sense of serenity and quiet luxury. But this is perhaps not the right place for thrill seekers such as you find in some of the "Big Five" game lodges. Nevertheless, the morning drives to visit rock art sites (each day a different one) and evening drives (you'll see some game if you are lucky) provide some moderate activity, which anyone can supplement with walks, cycling, etc. The decor is tasteful; food is great and varied; and the spa services are good. We experienced an unpleasant incident when our expensive binoculars dissapeared (most probably lifted by a hotel guest), but Red Carnation immediately and generously offered to reimburse us - that was impressive.

We had two wonderful days here. The setting is breathtaking with amazing views of mountain ranges and fynbos. You have a guide allocated to each set of guests l, and Abigail was knowledgeable and charming. Nothing was too much hassle. We looked at the cave art and saw many zebra , emus, deer etc in our safaris. The service was fabulous and the food excellent. We had drinks in the garden on the second night which was lovely. We stayed at Rivers Edge, and the two rooms were well appointed with comfortable beds, pillows, sheets etc. the bathroom was lovely with a bath as well as a shower. The rooms aren’t huge, but are lively, with great views over the lake. At night you see hartebeasts coming through the lodge, as well as baboons, and a few other animals. The bird life is fantastic. The lodge is run so well, with friendly management and fabulous staff. It is an area of great beauty and is very special. Well worth a visit. The swimming pools are a bit small, so doing proper lengths is tricky, which is a shame. But not enough to pit us off returning, and we’d recommend it to others

A truly outstanding place to stay. The historic buildings, facilities cuisine, astonishingly peaceful and dramatic location, customer service and wildlife all made for a memorable few days. We particularly liked the freedom to do as we wanted and valued the attention from the whole team at Bushman’s Kloof to make our stay so restorative.

We had a fantastic family stay at Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve and Wellness Retreat. The accommodations, restaurant, and spa were all exceptional, complemented by a friendly and professional staff who made us feel at home from the start. While the reserve doesn't feature the Big Five, it offers a rich variety of wildlife, stunning plants, and fascinating rock art. Our guide, Byron, impressed us with his extensive knowledge of the local flora and rock art, enhancing our experience significantly. This retreat is a true gem for nature lovers seeking tranquility and beauty.
