The cottage accommodates 2 guests in total. The open-plan loft is equipped with 1 queen-sized bed and a bathroom with a shower downstairs. The devices work with gas and the lights are solar-powered. The kitchen is equipped with a 52-litre camp fridge and a 2-plate gas burner stove, and the indoor braai facility in the cosy lounge provides the ideal place to relax.
The more adventurous can bring their mountain bikes or enjoy some hiking to explore the 1000-hectare farm. Keen botanists can lose themselves in the lush fynbos and proteas. Don’t be surprised if you find klipsringer, duiker and grysbok scuttling in the fynbos. The cliffs and gorges also provide excellent shelter and breeding grounds for the black eagle. Klipspringer Berghuisie can only be reached by a 4x4 vehicle.

48 guests' feedbackOur favorite place in SA. It is incredibly beautiful, private and in unspoilt nature. Can highly recommend it to anyone looking for tranquility, adventure and reconnection.
See stars.
Excellent break from the hustle and bustle. Located on a mountain surrounded by the most beautiful Fynbos and ideal hiking trails in nature.
Was a great experience with plenty of time to yourself and time in the field to walk. Yes, the stay was fantastic.
Absolutely breathtaking, hikes and relaxation.
Most beautiful fynbos I have ever seen. Long, wonderful walks and a perfect hut. Road to the hut not to be underestimated! Definitely need a 4x4.
It was so special, definitely one of my new favorites, if not the first favorite!
It was our 4th stay at the mountain cabin, and it was as beautiful and memorable as always!
Unbelievable, amazing, beautiful.
Thoroughly enjoyed it - cottage was perfectly comfortable and more than adequate for two people. Beautiful vistas across the valley and fabulous Fynbos walks - stunning.
Fantastic 4x4 Trip up to the cottage.
Perfect peace and tranquility.
Not many places like this - amazing. We were blown away by the position, solitude, vegetation, walks, and rock formations. The road up to the house was not bad at all. There were no height issues or difficult sections. It was suggested to use 2nd gear low range, and it was a pleasure. The cottage lived up to our expectations, adequately equipped and excellent fireplace for braaing and warmth.
Very very nicely turned off. Will definitely go again. Only provision to recharge mobile, unfortunately no provision for that.
If you have a decent 4x4 low traction vehicle and drive the road up and back slowly while taking in the beautiful surroundings, the nearly 950m above sea level Kilpspringer Berghuisie is an unforgettable experience you will never forget.
Never been so close to the stars. Could take it. Awesome view.
Klipspringer is truly a place of soul rest, yet the road to the top is a 4x4 that must be reckoned with and not taken for granted. Great for the men who can and know how to test a new 4x4 vehicle's performance. The accommodation was truly a place of rest with an incredible view and fresh air. Although it was incredibly cold, the fireplace could burn all day and night, just bring enough wood. The stairs to sleeping area are something older visitors should keep in mind. Unfortunately I am afraid of stairs so for me it was difficult. Everything was spotless and comfortable, there was nothing short, the dressing gowns in the shower were a very welcome sight. We will definitely go again when the weather is warmer as we like to walk.
A beautiful place that one must visit if you are a nature person and you have a vehicle that will allow it. The road to get there is rough, but the reward at the end makes it worth the effort! Just a shame that it can only accommodate two people, because one will want to share the experience with more!
Ideal getaway for when you just want to be quiet and have no one else around you but your wife. Thank you Marinda for a wonderful weekend. Your place is special and the road there full of natural beauty.
Nice hikes, wonderful sunrise, and sunsets, and quietness.
It is also very peaceful and has plenty of space to go for walks and enjoy nature.
We spent two nights here and it was the most wonderful place. The views were beautiful (when we could see through the mist and clouds) and the house met all our expectations. We'll hopefully be back sometime soon.
Location was as described, everything we needed for a break from the rush of the city.
I do not think our stay could have turned out more perfect than it was. An amazing cottage set in a beautiful, remote and quiet fynbos landscape. During the day it was incredible to hike the area and at night the cold weather outside made sitting inside around a cosy fire the perfect way to end the day. The 4x4 route in was fine and fun to experience. Highly recommend this idyllic spot.
View of everything in the area from way up there.
If you want to feel like you are really getting away from it all, this is a great option. Views to forever, from on top of the world.
If you need to get away from the busy world with all its things, and are looking for time in nature away from technology, we would definitely recommend the Klipspringer. Road up is probably only made for 4x4 vehicles.
A hidden gem with the most breathtaking views.
The secluded location, the beautiful stone cottage and the natural beauty make this getaway a unique experience. It is neat, functional and quiet, away from the everyday noise and the ideal opportunity to completely break away. Can't wait to visit again.
Ideal for people who want to get away from the city's hustle and bustle, just you and your loved one. Beautiful views and wonderful walks in the fynbos. The hostess also spoiled us deliciously. Thank you very much.
Very nice to relax in the silence and the beautiful view.
I didn't read the rules, it's a 4x4 route to the top at the Kliphuis, I don't have one, just regular difflock and it doesn't work. So, read the headline! Let the owner know and as it goes, it's a business and I lose the three days' accommodation money. So, if you're thinking of going to Kliphuis, make sure your vehicle can do it. They must write it in big, red letters! Just wanted a quiet weekend.
Perfect place to get away from it all. Beautiful scenery and fynbos.
You literally feel on top of the world. The perfect break, hikes, fireside and views for miles around.
Romantic stone cottage under Pilaarkop Peak, high away in the Riviersonderend mountains. Nobody around for miles and miles. What a treat to share this piece of heaven surrounded by incredible fynbos and sandstone in the Cape Overberg. Cottage hosts a huge fireplace and a luxury loft double bed. Happy place.
Incredible place. We will definitely book again. If you like a bit of 4x4 but aren't a pro either, the road is on an adventure on its own that will give you new hope in your vehicle and driving ingenuity. House is very clean and tidy. We will definitely try to book a place in the middle of winter as well.
Great time and the 4x4 route up wasn't too bad. Was lucky to be there while it was snowing so was super special. Just take enough wood with you so that the fire burns all the time, it's very cold! Will be back for sure, thanks Marinda!
Was here for a weekend and really enjoyed it. It was quiet and the view was breathtaking. The house offers everything you need and very clean.
What a great getaway. Take enough wood with you and the 4x4 experience was incredible. It's been a nice experience. Marinda was a great hostess.
If you want to shake off the city's hustle and bustle or if you just need a little rest for your soul, book a weekend at Klipspringer. Beautiful scenery, clear skies and spotless accommodation. It was great for us to entertain no people for one weekend and Marinda went out of her way when we arrived earlier than planned. By the way, trust the recommendation, you need a 4x4 (even a rental car won't get there).
The peace and quiet were very nice, piece of heaven. Thank you Marinda for your effort and the follow up. Will definitely go back.
Great break and the 4x4 route to get there, great fun. Be aware that there is no sun or wind shelter outside the cottage, so take your "gazebo" with you for windless days and hobbies/books to keep you busy indoors when the wind gets too much.
This is definitely a place to visit. A weekend might be too short. You will not be disappointed. Take enough wood with you! Thank you Marinda that we could share in your awesome place.
Very neat, nice comfortable house with natural beauty and silence.
We had such a great time! The absolute quiet and breathtaking nature. Klipspringer is the perfect getaway from all that's mad. Highly recommended.
It was an exceptional experience.
To become one with your soul and your partner, this is definitely the best place. The fact that there was no electricity forces you to become part of nature and to share it with your partner. My husband and I went home with a new lust for life.
