“Mount Ceder truly immerses you in the rugged beauty of the Cederberg, with its uniquely designed, cave-like accommodations that make for a deeply peaceful retreat. The exceptional clarity of the night sky is a genuine spectacle, and the surrounding landscape lends itself to invigorating hikes and tranquil moments by the river. I particularly appreciated the thoughtful provisioning within the self-catering units and the delicious, well-prepared meals available, especially the highly recommended lamb shank.”
