Red Mountain Private Reserve

Within a few kilometres of Oudtshoorn, ostrich capital of the world and Calitzdorp, renowned for its Port wine, lies the Red Mountain Private Nature Reserve with luxurious five star accommodation - an ideal place to overnight or to spend a few peaceful days on a trip along Route 62.

The suites nestle in a tranquil garden with a salt water swimming pool.

There are seven luxurious suites - two especially for honeymoon couples.

Each offers elegant furnishings, air conditioning, overhead fans, under-floor heating, tea and coffee making facilities, satellite TV and sound system. The views towards the Red Mountains are spectacular.

All our bathrooms have our famous double showers, Victorian baths and under-floor heating for Winter days.

Our gardens lie beneath the gaze of the Red Mountains and overlook a green, fertile valley. Relax amidst the peace and tranquility.

Enjoy a swim in our 25m salt water pool or simply laze in the sunshine and sparkling clean air.

This is a bird watchers' paradise: catch sight of the colourful malachite sunbird harvesting nectar from the garden flowers and watch majestic black eagles riding the thermals.

Watch a spectacular sunset and then dine outdoors or in our gracious Victorian dining room.

In the morning you might choose to breakfast on the verandah or beside the swimming pool.

Dinners comprise a light barbeque type meal and breakfasts are of the continental kind.

After dark you will marvel at the night sky, for you have never seen the stars shine as brightly.
