Is the Simbavati Cederberg Ridge for Me?
Tucked into the landscapes of the Cederberg Mountains, just a 2½-hour drive from Cape Town, Simbavati Cederberg Ridge is a wilderness retreat with sweeping natural views. Set on a 3,000-hectare farm bordering the Cederberg Wilderness Reserve, the lodge offers an easy escape into nature, surrounded by ancient rock formations and fynbos-covered hills.
With just 11 spacious rooms and suites, Cederberg Ridge feels intimate yet open, designed with warm textures, high ceilings, and large windows that draw in the natural light. Dining is a relaxed, seasonal affair, with fresh ingredients and flavours. There’s also a spa for quiet afternoons and indigenous gardens that lead straight onto walking and cycling trails through the surrounding veld.
Whether you’re drawn to the stillness of nature, active days in the mountains, or simply a slower pace, this lodge is a place where you can breathe out. Ideal for couples, solo travellers, photographers, and first-time explorers seeking comfort in a wild, beautiful setting.
