Family holiday in the Cederberge.
We were received very kindly and the owners made us feel very welcome and answered all our questions. Lovely farm atmosphere and enjoy delicious iced tea at reception. The facilities are very basic and small and could do with a "renovation". Not suitable for 4 adults, we happily traveled with 2 young children (fold-out sofa-bed in living area). Very limited luggage space.

Incredible hospitality, clean, tidy accommodation, lovely garden and surroundings, very accessible for persons with disabilities.
Great visit with American friends. We were two families with 3 teenagers. Everything was perfect. The reception was warm and our accommodation clean and tidy with lots of little extras like flowers, cookies etc. The rooms have a veranda and the garden is exceptionally beautiful. The Rooibos Tea tour was an experience. Nice place to walk, lovely barbecue places and swimming pool to cool off in. We will definitely go back again.

The access at the gate creates problems because signals are not always strong. Another way of access control is recommended. Value for money and would recommend.

Regtig jammer dat julle 'n keer of wat moes sukkel by die toegangshek. Eintlik het die probleem by my selfoon gelê wat na willekeur my wi-fi verbinding verbreek het. Nou maak ek kort-kort seker dat die verbinding reg is. Sodra ons weer in Vredendal kom sal ek opgradeer en 'n nuwe foon kry.

Come fully prepared. Owners exceptionally welcoming, helpful and concerned. We recommend the rooibos tour and flora tour. The tour is interesting and the owners are knowledgeable in the field. The large, rugged native garden is filled with birdsong. For a break from the city, ideal.

It is a pity that the eco-tours are no longer offered, but the owners compensate well for it and make an effort to help as much as possible with daily travel planning to obtain maximum viewing of the area.

Chris is an excellent and extremely thoughtful host. Went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and at home; even during load shedding. The facility has everything a couple or small family needs. The garden is amazing, especially considering that it is a dry region. If you are a nature lover and especially interested in birds, this is the ideal getaway. Will definitely stay here again and happily recommend.

This place is literally in the middle of no where.
Elandsberg Eko-Toerisme 's response
Megan, we receive many guests in smaller cars than your's and in low slung sports cars and no one has ever complained about the road. The road also does not run through the bush. The only bush close to the road is along a stretch of less than 30 m. The flat tyre you had was due to a leaking valve which has nothing to do with the gravel road.

Breaking for silence and singing birds.
Self-catering about 30 km from Clanwilliam. A short section is gravel road that is in a reasonable condition. The units are neat and everything is there you need. We were a group of 6 and the price suited our bag. There is no TV, but it didn't bother us, we just wanted to experience the silence. The rooms are not very modern and it makes you feel like visiting Grandma and Grandpa on the farm! They have the hottest water I have ever had and it was wonderful! We got delicious fresh tea when we came and took gift boxes with different flavored tea home.

Literally a break from one's everyday busy life.
Finding the place is an adventure in itself, but you are well received with a cup of home-made rooibos tea, it's like going to mum's house, nice. You immediately feel at home and know that you don't exactly want to leave on Sunday morning. You are dismissed the same way if you go home with hands waving and smiles on your face. If you want to get away from the busy city life and want to come relax and have a good time I would recommend Elandsberg Eco-Tourism.

Totally too delicious!
We had a wonderful stay with Chris and Annette. They made us feel very welcome and shared a lot of knowledge. The garden and view from the porch is beautiful. One can sit in the garden and watch the turtles, birds, flowers and appreciate the birdsong. We definitely would have liked to stay much longer. They helped us decide which roads we wanted to drive and where we wanted to eat. They helped us with things we forgot at home and shared very nice home-made food and rooibos tea drinks with us. It was also interesting to learn more about rooibos tea cultivation. You are right next to the neighbors and if they talk a little loudly, it can be disturbing. Other than that it is absolutely delicious and we definitely want to go back for longer.

Wonderful experience.
We slept two nights at Elandsberg. Although it is 13 kilos out on the Graafwaterpad and then another 6 km dirt road to the farm, the final destination is absolutely worth it. The silence on the farm is a pleasure for the soul! The highlight is of course the ride on the safari truck (Moederkappie) to the rooibos tea plantation and factory. For those of us who know nothing about the cultivation of tea, Chris's talk was particularly interesting and instructive. We were on a double tour to the tea plantations as well as to the fynbos. The remains of San petroglyphs under the baking cliffs on the farm are amazing. Chris and Annette's kindness and helpfulness exceed all limits. Even our laundry was washed after we had already been on the road for many days. It's a place where you arrive as a complete stranger and leave with a warm feeling in your heart because you've become close friends with the owners! You also can't leave there without a basket full of rooibos tea products. Annette's Gluh tea that you receive in your room right after you arrive is so delicious - you immediately want more! She freely shares her recipes with her guests. We are now back in Centurion and ready to start making Gluh-tea and introduce it to all our friends. Many thanks again to Chris and Anette - you are very special!
