DE PAKHUYS
Self Catering Cottage Accommodation
in Clanwilliam, Cape West Coast,
Western Cape, South Africa
Nestled in the picturesque Agter-Pakhuis Valley, 26 km from Clanwilliam on
route to the historic Wuperthal village, you will find de Pakhuys Farm. The farm
belongs to the Kruger and Botha Families. de Pakhuys chalets are
located right in the middle of the world famous Rocklands bouldering (rock
climbing) area.
The Kruger family, originally from Cape Town, visited the area in 2003 and
couldn't resist having a piece of this paradise to themselves. They subsequently
bought a piece of land in this magnificent valley and decided to renovate
cottages on the farm and share the splendour of the Cederberg with visitors.
Walking along one of our hiking trails will leave you with a real sense of the
Cederberg. During the flower season, you pass through endless beautiful
stretches of veldt flowers. The walks offer beautiful views of the surrounding
mountain range as well as the valley below and includes San Rock Paintings. The
Waterfall Trail meanders along the banks of the Brandewyn (Brandy) river to the
place where it plummets 500 m down into the Karoo basin, resulting in lovely
waterfalls, turbulent rapids and astounding rock formations. Fortunate bird
watchers might even spot the evasive Witkruis Arend raptor nesting high against
the cliffs. Weary walkers can take the opportunity here to plunge into a rock
pool to cool off.
