About this property

Just 20 km from Oudtshoorn, Zwartberg View Mountain Lodge is a secluded escape set between the majestic Swartberg Mountains and the iconic red hills, a perfect blend of wilderness, comfort, and privacy. Stay in spacious, African-themed chalets, each with its own private entrance, comfortable lounge area, and tea-and-coffee facilities. Relax on your furnished terrace and take in uninterrupted views of the valley and mountain range often visited by the wildlife that roams freely around the lodge. With 11 species of game on the property, including giraffe and eland, sable, nyala etc. nature is always just a glance away. Start each morning with a generous full English breakfast before exploring our scenic hiking and walking trails, or simply unwind and enjoy the peace and natural beauty around you. We run completely off-grid with our own solar power system and private water source, meaning you enjoy uninterrupted comfort without reliance on government services, true independence in nature. Top attractions such as the famous Cango Caves, ostrich farms, meerkat encounters, horse riding, and more are all within easy reach. Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas, and George Airport is just 1 hour and 15 minutes away. Need help planning your trip before you arrive?
