Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve

The location is fabulous. The challenging 4km walking trail we did was outstanding. The nature drives are good, but really expensive and are split up into 3 different ones, none with overlapping, so you basically have to do all of it, so triple expensive. Accommodation in the caves were awful. Smelly, view over the sewerage pipes and noisy airconditioners of the neighbouring caves. The caves are from fake rock and it was not nice. There are a couple of lovely thatched huts which we stayed in previously, very nice. Food and wine is expensive and there are no nearby alternatives, so that is it. The staff are wonderful. Super friendly and really helpful.There is a camping site nearby and campers use the bar and boma to hang out at night and smoke cigarettes while guests are eating. Naturewise this is a special place and everyone who works there are truly special too.

We had a memorable honeymoon stay at Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve. The property is beautifully maintained, blending comfort with the rugged charm of the Cederberg landscape. Cleanliness: The rooms were spotless, with thoughtful touches that made us feel at home. Pool & Spa: The pool was well-kept and inviting, though on the smaller side. It was perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring, and the spa was relaxing and professional—an ideal way to unwind. Staff & Service: The staff were warm, attentive, and went out of their way to make our stay special. Facilities: Everything felt well cared for, from the lodge amenities to the outdoor areas. Surroundings: The reserve itself is breathtaking—quiet, scenic, and full of unique rock formations. It’s a great base for stargazing, hikes, and soaking in the natural beauty. Highlights: Stargazing under the clear night sky was unforgettable. The guided nature walks gave us a deeper appreciation of the local wildlife and history. Dining options were varied and delicious, fresh with a nice balance of local flavors. Travel notes: Kagga Kamma is located about three hours’ drive from Cape Town, so plan ahead for the journey. The nearest town is roughly an hour and a half away, making the reserve very secluded. This adds to the tranquility, but it’s worth preparing for the remoteness.

Love the staff the most! Gabriela, the new waiter in training (last name Thomas I think) everyone!

All aspects of this property are five star and I rate it overall as 5 stars excellent. It is quiet and beautiful and the landscape and rock formations are stunning. The cave room was beautiful and the restaurant was excellent.

Nice retreat to get away from it all. Really pleasant stay and great staff. We were in a cave room, well stocked though a few more outlets would have been great. The larger swimming pool had too few lounge chairs and shaded areas, making it difficult to enjoy as other guests got there first! Be sure you have or rent an SUV or sturdy 4 wheel drive as access roads are unpaved for about 10-15km.

The Cave Chalet was great, loved the concept. Staff were outstanding, UTV ride was great saw Zebra, Ostrich, and Oryx.

The property was located in a wonderful nature area. It was very beautiful. The room was as expected. The dining experience at the property was average, food was substandard and service was okay. The receptionist who checked us in was and I quote a "gen z" She made a mistake with our room numbers. then the next day one of the staff members walked up to my husband while he was having lunch, in front of other guests, very loudly told him that he should have checked out hours ago. He was forced to rush through his meal only to go and tell them that they made an error. Very embarrassing.
