Wolfkop Nature Reserve
Wolfkop Nature Reserve - for the free spirited traveller.

Welcome! Nature Reserve, Cottages, Coffee shop and Steak House, Fauna and flora, Experience, Activities, Camping Villages (link), Farm cottages (Link), Cape Town accommodation (link)

Nature Reserve:
About 1 ¾ hours drive from Cape Town, 5 km from Citrusdal village, our 450ha Natural Fynbos and Sandstone reserve (Unesco World heritage site) is situated at the foothills of the Cederberg Range. The snow cover of winter gives way in spring to a variety of succulent plants and daises, painting the landscape white, orange, green and blue.

Cottages:
Each unique and totally private cottage offers panoramic views of the Oliphant River valley accessible by private gravel road winding through the Fynbos veld. Each cottage has two rooms, uniquely decorated in African art and colors. The main bedroom has a queen size bed and two more single beds in the other room - fitted with cotton percale bedding. Each bathroom features rain head showers and private outside hot bush showers. An open Plan Kitchen and Living Room boasts high wooden beam ceilings and deep sofas for your afternoon siestas, and a central fireplace that goes well with a glass of red wine. The Living Room leads through double doors onto a terrace with hammocks and a lantern lit Jacuzzi. Perfect for sundowners, with a braai fire crackling, or gazing at stars later on. Grind your own coffee beans (provided) for fresh ground coffees with the electric grinder. You’ll find fresh hand squeezed orange in the fridge during citrus harvest time.

Coffee shop and Steak House:
For your Breakfast needs which can be added on the accommodation bill we recommend the “Via the grape vine” coffee shop (0229212190) and for dinner we recommend “Die Sitrus” Steak House (022 9212228)

Fauna and Flaura:
An abundance of early morning animal life awaits you. (Duiker, porcupine, hares, baboon, tortoise, dassie, and leopard tracks have also been spotted). Black Eagles, Secretary birds, Herron, and an early morning passage by Egyptian geese fill the skies. Each cottage has its own indigenous Fynbos and rock garden - Protea flowers during March April, Aloes during June July, Daisies and succulents during our famous wild flower season and pin cushions that flower during October and November. Our lichen rock fields are also unique and in abundance.

Experience:
Each cottage is independent and private, the perfect getaway from city life. Unwind and relax, experience the unique setting of this Nature Reserve’s tranquility and silence from your own private cottage. Enjoy breakfast while watching a V shape flock of Sacred Ibis glide past, or a drink in hand while watching the sun set. Then wait for the stars. Lanterns are provided, casting a warm and soft light to enjoy either the fireplace or Jacuzzi. During August/September the whole countryside is carpeted in wild flowers. Find yourself elevated in your cottage above the sea of mist that covers the valley floor. Free Wi Fi is available, but unfortunately not guaranteed.

Activities:
Hiking and mountain bike trails, fishing dam or river (at campsite on Grootfontein farm), canoe hire. Mountain bikes are for hire on our 8km unspoiled fynbos route which includes rock formations, farm dams, citrus orchids and rooibos plantations. The 8km hiking trail is highly recommended and truly amazing. It includes mind boggling rock formations, Bushmen paintings and scenes of fynbos and Sandstone Mountains. Fishing can be done either at a reed dam with its abundance of weaver birds or 13km further up at our camping spot on the river at Grootfontein campsite. Link

Village:
Citrusdal (5km away) offers a lovely coffee shop, steak house, golf course, quad bikes and paintball activities. The village hosts four annual events which include a golf event, mountain bike event, canoe marathon and a 4x4 weekend. Citrusdal is also the perfect base to explore the West coast with famous open air restau
