ELEPHANT RIVER GUEST HOUSE
Guest House Accommodation
in Clanwilliam, West Coast,
Western Cape, South Africa
Elephant River Guest House lies nestled in the historical village of Clanwilliam (7th oldest in South Africa), at the foot of the majestic Cederberg mountain range.
These mountains are world renowned for their Bushman rock art, rock climbing and mountain trails all within easy distance. We are also 60kms from the unspoiled West Coast and situated on the main highway to Namibia, so providing a welcoming stop-off.
The Guest House built in 1911 is within walking distance of shops and restaurants, bowls, tennis and squash and is 5 minutes drive from the dam, (popular for ski-ing and bass fishing). We offer off-street parking, a large fruit-tree filled garden with an inviting swimming pool.
There are 4 en-suite chalets to choose from (2 with twin singles and 2 with double beds), individually furnished with brass beds and mosquito nets, refreshment facilities, fridge and TV.
We have braai-facilities under old vines and stars and the South African charm and West-Coast hospitality brings guests back every year to see the world-famous spring flowers (August to September), the unique Rooibos tea-growing farms and the untamed natural beauty.
