Kliphuis, where Karoo contrasts come together: thick stone walls, mud plaster, hand-hewn beams and the crackle of a warm fire inside; crisp air, dry grass and open skies outside.

A tucked-away retreat framed by windmills and Karoo plains. Gordonville Cottage offers quiet and slow-living comfort—think wide skies, cool stone walls, and an indoor pool for year-round dips.

Part stone, part ruin— 20 years ago it was just an old burnt farmhouse, and now it is our lovingly restored Kliphuis.

A Sneeuberg signature—our hardy Nguni cattle roam the reserve freely. By moving, grazing, and fertilizing, they play an important role in maintaining the health of the veld.

A quiet fire, a glass of something good, and nothing on the agenda. Sneeuberg Nature Reserve is just under 4 hours from PE, and 8 hours from both Joburg and Cape Town—far enough to leave it all behind, close enough to plan your next getaway.

Stay in Karoo Luxury at Sneeuberg Nature Reserve

Situated in the heart of the Great Karoo, between Graaff-Reinet and Nieu Bethesda lies Sneeuberg Private Nature Reserve, a 14 500 hectare, unspoilt expanse. Sneeuberg provides an authentic yet luxurious Karoo experience consisting of four individual manor houses. This is our location on Google maps: https://goo.gl/maps/gFCdhsHX1p5zc3Xf7

Sneeuberg is a place where reconnecting to nature happens effortlessly. Days are spent exploring the reserve and returning for a hearty lunch on the patio, followed by a lazy siesta, lying flat with a pile of reading matter or cooling off in one of the swimming pools.

Evenings are spent around a fire, enjoying Karoo fare that you have either prepared by yourself in the fully equipped kitchens or delivered by the Sneeuberg staff.

During Winter, the temperatures during the day are perfect for outdoor activities and the evenings are spent indulging in the romance of the chilly Karoo nights. 200 kilometres of mountain trails have been created for 4 x 4 driving, mountain biking, game viewing, hiking and horseback riding - all with the most incredible vistas of the mountains and vast plains of the Great Karoo.

4X4 DRIVING Take yourself on game drives or adventure up one of the many mountain tracks. 200 km's of mountain trails have been created, catering for those dare devils in need of some adrenaline or those wishing to enjoy a scenic route. For guests who do not have a suitable car, mountain and game drives can be arranged in the farm vehicle.

MOUNTAIN BIKING Explore the Sneeuberg mountains by bike. The farm has a variety of scenic tracks: mountain, riverine and long flat scenic tracks making each ride different and exciting. Guests can also ride to Nieu Bethesda for lunch which is about 40 km away.

HIKING Because Sneeuberg does not have predators, the 14500 hectares of land can be enjoyed and explored by foot. Walk through the grazing Nguni herds or observe the Antelope on foot, stop along the way for a picnic lunch and cool off in one of the rivers. For the fit and energetic hikers, the Compassberg trail is open to Sneeuberg guests. It is an 8-hour hike, located on an adjacent farm with a climb of roughly 1700m to 2505m. A challenging river walk traverses stone plateaus along the river bordering the Reserve.

PICNIC AND SUNDOWNERS Mountain tops, riverine, Karoo plains or poplar forests, Sneeuberg has no shortage of breath-taking locations, perfect for sundowners or a picnic. These spots have been marked on the map and picnic baskets and sundowner snacks can be arranged from the Gordonville kitchen.

SWIMMING To cool off from the Karoo heat, there are various options: dipping into refreshing rivers, cool open dam water or sparkling swimming pools.

FISHING Anglers are welcome to fish in the reserve dam, basic fishing equipment is available.
