Mount Ceder Lodge is a highly recommended guest house with self catering option, providing accommodation in Cederberg for tourists visiting the Olifants River Valley region.

About Mount Ceder Lodge

Mount Ceder is situated in a valley surrounded by the Cederberg and Koue Bokkeveld mountain ranges. Located on Grootrivier farm, across the main route through the Cederberg, approximately 95 km north of Ceres and south of Clanwilliam.

The area offers peace and tranquillity, with beautiful scenery and a perennial river that flows through the farm. There is abundant opportunity for mountain climbing, bird watching, walking, horse riding, and mountain biking, fishing, canoeing and swimming in clear river pools. For the more adventurous there is the Cederberg with interesting scenery, 4x4 routes and longer hiking routes in close proximity.

Accommodation

Our Mount Ceder self-catering houses offer diverse Cederberg accommodation options to meet your unique needs. Each house is located to ensure your privacy. All houses are fully fitted with crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils and linen, ready for your comfort and enjoyment.

Each house has a fireplace inside and a braai or barbecue area outside. Braai and barbecue utensils are also provided. Wood can be purchased at reception.

Three of the cottages run on energy generated from solar panels powered by the abundant sunshine naturally found in the Cederberg mountains. LED lights and a fridge/freezer are powered by solar charged 12 volt batteries. Due to the limited power available there is no microwave and there are no electrical plug points that can be used to charge electrical devices or operate hair dryers etc.

Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.
