Bushmans Kloof's Extraordinary Dining experiences are a variety of venues and eating styles created here for an utterly unforgettable experience of food, wilderness and life. Whether it’s a picnic on the banks of a sparkling river, or a lavish dinner at a secluded cottage deep in the reserve, our passionate staff will ensure your meal is a special experience.
Extraordinary Dining Experiences come at an additional cost and are available on request only. Our staff will be happy to advise you of options during your stay.
KADORO
‘Kadoro’ means ‘tinderbox of stories’, a poetic and fitting name for this rustic, secluded cottage in the heart of the reserve. Originally an old shepherd’s house, the structure has been renovated and furnished, but not modernised. Kadoro has no electricity; outside, the starlit Cederberg Mountains wend their way into the distance under clear night skies. Ideal for romantic private dining and intimate groups; a dinner by candlelight will give you a glimpse into a bygone era. Enjoy this rural setting alongside an exquisite culinary experience of delicious braaivleis (barbecues) or wholesome soups and stews.
The Kadoro Extraordinary Dining experience is offered at R750 per person, and is available on request only.
PICNICS
Picnicking has been honed to a fine art here at Bushmans Kloof, and we pride ourselves in creating lavish packed lunches, chock-full of mouth-watering surprises and delicious treats. Order an energy-packed midday meal to accompany you on your hike or bike ride in the reserve. Find a rocky overhang near a crystal-clear waterfall, and dig in. For a more formal event, a gourmet spread can be laid out amongst the spring flowers, on riverbanks or rocky outcrops for a luxuriant meal under a wide azure sky.
Picnic Extraordinary Dining Experiences are offered at R350 per couple, and are available on request only.
WALLED GARDEN
Enjoy private dining for couples or groups in the gorgeous walled garden near the lodge at Bushmans Kloof. Amongst the heady scent of ripening vegetables and herbaceous fynbos, let yourself laze and enjoy a sumptuous spread prepared especially for you.
This Extraordinary Dining experience comes at an additional cost of R300 per person and is available on request only.
RIVER BOMA
The River Boma is an extraordinary and romantic location for exclusive, private dining. Your table awaits in this low-walled, circular structure while our staff attend to your every need. Listen to birdsong and murmuring waters of the Boontjies River as you enjoy a full a-la-carte dining experience.
