Wildekrans Country House

Wildekrans Country House is an authentic historic homestead dating back to 1811, situated in the dramatic mountains of Houw Hoek. It offers an opportunity to appreciate contemporary South African art while indulging in delicious country cuisine. Visitors can explore the art and fynbos trail that leads into the Kogelberg Biosphere.

The property is located in a picturesque setting of mountains and rivers, located above the Houw Hoek Pass in the Overberg region of the Western Cape, South Africa. Wildekrans Country House provides bed and breakfast accommodation or self-catering options in the Homestead and Cape Cottages. All accommodations feature four-poster beds and log fires. Dinner is available upon request, and children are welcome.

With its rambling country garden and swimming pool, Wildekrans Country House is an ideal venue for private functions, children's parties, workshops, promotions, or product launches. Additionally, the neighboring rustic church, space for a 120-seater marquee, and a romantic honeymoon suite make it a popular choice for country weddings.

Guests can enjoy leisurely walks in the grounds or hiking trails in the surrounding area. Other recreational activities include mountain biking, exploring the Elgin Fruit Route, participating in the Walker Bay Wine Wander, or staying on-site to play a game of Petanque (boule). For those interested in whale watching or visiting the beach, Hermanus is only a 20-minute drive away.
