Cederberg Ridge Wilderness Lodge

Rooms

With an understated-yet-stylish decor of white and greys, the nine rooms and suites ensure the scenery outside is the star of the show, which you can enjoy from your window seat or private stone terrace. You can even sleep alfresco if requested in advance. All come with en suite bathrooms complete with underfloor heating, air conditioning, Wi-Fi and tea/coffee facilities.

You can choose from classic rooms, one of which has views of the mountains, while the other overlooks the courtyard. For more space, stay in a luxury or superior suite, which have wood-burning fireplaces, indoor and outdoor showers, freestanding bathtubs and expansive mountain views. There's a superior honeymoon suite, which has a separate sitting area and feels a little more private. This can also combine with a luxury suite to form a two-bedroom villa. Two more luxury suites can also combine to provide a two-bedroom option with a central sitting room.
