Baviaanskloof Accommodation

Why you might choose to stay in Baviaanskloof

Experience the rugged beauty of South Africa when you book overnight accommodation in Baviaanskloof for the whole family or as a romantic getaway for two. There is a gorge that lies in the valley, stretching for over 100 kilometres, between the Baviaanskloof Mountains to the north and the Kouga mountains to the south.

Recently awarded World Heritage Site status this 192 000 hectare u-shaped reserve lies about 120 kilometres west of Port Elizabeth and is named after the baboons that roam the area - a mix of the Dutch word ‘baviaan' for baboon and the Afrikaans word ‘kloof' for ravine. Did you know? Once you've booked your hotel or Baviaanskloof accommodation in the Eastern Cape, explore the town and destination pages below for info on attractions, activities and things to do when you explore the Baviaanskloof. The Kouga Wilderness lies in the incredible Kouga Mountains on the edge of the Baviaanskloof, advertised as the real outdoor experience, and where you go to climb rocks, kloof, fish, watch birds, hike and adventure on 4X4 routes. Baviaanskloof, the area, includes the Karoo towns of Willowmore and Steytlerville as well as a number of small stock farms, and the little town of Patensie lies at the start of the gorge - the last stop, so to speak, before entering the wilderness of the Baviaanskloof, so experience the best of the region, by staying at one of the more luxurious Baviaanskloof accommodation options.
