Clanwilliam Hotel

The Clanwilliam Hotel is situated in the Olifants River Valley, away from the main tourist routes. It is located two hours' drive from Cape Town. The hotel offers air-conditioned rooms, a swimming pool, and secure parking. It aims to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere, offering true country hospitality to its guests.

The hotel is housed in a picturesque Cape Dutch homestead that dates back to 1732, making it one of the 10 oldest towns in the country. It is located at the foot of the Cederberg Mountains and overlooks one of the country's popular dams. The town has a rich settler history and serves as a central location for various attractions, including flower viewing, bushman art, and a range of water sports. Clanwilliam is also famous for growing and cultivating rooibos tea and for its original leather 'veldskoene' factory.

The Leipoldt's Cellar Restaurant is located on the premises and offers lovely farm breakfasts. The hotel is within walking distance of local restaurants. It is a five-minute drive from the spectacular 18 km-long Clanwilliam Dam, where visitors can engage in water sports such as waterskiing, wake-boarding, parasailing, and angling. Nature enthusiasts can enjoy sweeping vistas of flowerscapes in the nearby Ramskop Nature Reserve, which features over 200 indigenous species of wild flowers.

Hikers and anthropologists can explore Bushman rock paintings, visit the local planetarium, or venture to the nearby Pakhuis Pass, which offers magnificent landscapes and serves as the gateway to Wupperthal, a Moravian mission village. Adrenaline seekers can indulge in scenic 4x4, quad bike, and mountain bike trails in the nearby Cederberg Mountains.
