Kapteinskloof Guest Cottage

Discover Kapteinskloof Guest Cottage, nestled on a historic smallholding between Piketberg and Velddrif, just 180km north of Cape Town in the picturesque Kapteinskloof valley. Dating back to 1831, this cottage is one of the area’s oldest homesteads, exuding tranquility and peace from its whitewashed walls.

Experience the rustic country lifestyle with leisurely walks, mountain biking, or off-road drives amidst stunning spring flowers. Take a refreshing dip in our natural spring water pool, or simply unwind under a shady tree with a good book.

Kapteinskloof lies in a fertile valley at the foot of the Piketberg mountain range, surrounded by a working blueberry farm and abundant birdlife. In spring, the valley bursts with wildflowers, making it a perfect base for exploring the West Coast and Namaqualand flower regions.

Venture 40km west to Velddrif and Port Owen for seaside bliss and endless pristine beaches. Piketberg, 35km east, offers basic amenities and leads to scenic drives up Versfeld Pass to the fruit and protea-growing areas atop Piketberg mountain.

Don’t miss the vibrant spring flower display in Aurora or the renowned surf and crayfish of Elands Bay, just 80km northwest. Nearby Verlorenvlei, a Ramsar site, is a birdwatcher’s paradise with over 200 species.

For a unique experience, indulge in our portable KolKol wood-fired hot tub under the stars (additional charge applies). Kapteinskloof Guest Cottage promises a peaceful retreat and a gateway to nature’s wonders along the West Coast.
