"Absolute, wonderful tranquility for the soul!"

My husband and I wanted to spend a weekend in Clanwilliam and also attend the annual Clanwilliam Liggiefees, and easily found accommodation at Krakadouw Cottages. It was affordable and looked like the perfect place to rest. We were looked after by Pierre and Therese from the start, and were even warned of road closures at the weekend due to a race through town, and were able to check in earlier for our own convenience. The cottage is simple, but beautiful, with everything one would need. We got more than we expected from a self-catering unit and were delighted with how quiet and peaceful it was there. We were left in peace and no one came to bother us, so we could lie down or read a book without disturbance at any time of the day. No one is allowed to play loud music or make noise or race around with motorbikes, so we really appreciated it! We may also have explored the farm a bit - you can walk anywhere. Just watch out for snakes and baboons, we saw a few of these, but fortunately not near the cottage itself. There is also a leopard or two on the slopes of the mountain, but unfortunately we didn't see them - it's wonderful to be surrounded by nature like that! I just wouldn't recommend children walking anywhere alone early in the morning or at sunset. Otherwise, it's incredibly safe. There are lots of mountain tortoises, so be careful on the dirt road to the farm - we had to get a few of them out of the way to move on - but they are too precious and so special. Also come in a vehicle that can handle a dirt road. It's bushveld, so be prepared for a bug or two. My husband and I are both afraid of spiders and we had to get a big gentleman out of the house the other night with lots of laughter and hysteria! It's safe enough to sleep with the windows open, but the cottage is right next to the river so any light attracts gnats and mosquitoes - just close the windows before it gets dark. There is no signal on the farm, so if you want to get away from technology this is the ideal place. There is a signal in town if you just want to check messages and e-mails. One morning we drove out to Traveller's Rest (37km out on the Pakhuis Pass) to do the 2km Sevilla Rock Art Trail - a leaflet is available in the cottage itself. Just make sure to take enough water, a hat, sunscreen, salves for bug bites and a snack. There is also a restaurant there and definitely worth the effort! We really enjoyed our weekend and will definitely go back!! We strongly recommend it for married couples and for families where children know how to keep themselves busy outside. There are no TVs or play areas, just Cederberg woodland, and it's heaven on earth.
