While guests discover the natural wonders of the Cederberg mountains, or travel back in time through the ancient rock art sites of Bushmans Kloof, our talented chefs lay on a culinary adventure of their own each day. Much of the fresh produce served at Bushmans Kloof comes from our extensive on-site kitchen gardens, and the menus evolve daily with the waxing and waning of the seasons. Alongside working with what’s fresh from the gardens, the indigenous fynbos of the Cape Floral Kingdom provide equal inspiration, from the world-famous rooibos endemic to the Cederberg to the wild herbs that grow here in abundance. Whether you’re dining at a candlelit table laid in white linen napery, or enjoying an al fresco barbecue beneath the southern stars, on every plate at Bushmans Kloof you’ll enjoy a journey of discovery into the culinary traditions of South Africa’s Western Cape.
The Homestead is the heart of the lodge; the dining room and terrace area is a haven of old-world charm and elegance, augmented by our outstanding private art collection. This formal dining room has an air of warmth and splendid luxury. Discover specialities offered from our Executive Chef’s table a la carte menu. Dishes are a feast for all the senses, served in an atmosphere of conviviality and true South African hospitality.
Bushmans Kloof showcases an extensive wine cellar, with nearly 3000 bottles drawn from 700 producers in South Africa and abroad. Discover South Africa’s landmark vintages and auction rarities, boutique cellars and iconic brands. The cellar includes an impressive selection from Bouchard Finlayson, our sister-property in The Red Carnation Hotel Collection, which is renowned for producing world-class Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Cellar tastings are offered on request, with a particular focus on the wines of the Cederberg. Alongside the exciting range of South African wines, beers and craft spirits, a selection of French Champagne and Cognac is available.
