Ensconced in the magical Oliphant’s
River Valley, the recently unveiled lodge is a colloquial gem emerging off
the beaten track, oasis-like in its unforgiving semi-desert habitat. Only a
two hours drive from Cape Town, the lodge offers 32 luxury air-conditioned
rooms, an open poolside restaurant, a treatment room and delicious cuisine.
Visitors should prepare to enjoy balmy days lounging on Bedouin daybeds at
the pool and hot windless nights in pure understated luxury at Clanwilliam
Lodge - where half measures are only available on request from the pool bar.

A
hearty buffet breakfast is served in the restaurant every morning and is
included in your stay. Choose from our traditional a-la-carte menu for
lunch, and dinner is a culinary choice from an extensive buffet spread (An A
