Situated in the heart of the Baviaanskloof and surrounded by the 220 000 Ha Baviaanskloof megareserve, Duiwekloof offers the discerning traveller the wilderness experience of a lifetime. Come alone for the solitude of the leopard trail and the reading deck or as a group to share the experience around a roaring fire in the lapa. the lodge has 4 self catering units with a spacious fully equipped lapa/entertainment centre. The Blouduiker cottage is a popular freestanding unit, a six sleeper with a double bed and 4 bunks. There is a large campsite adjacent which makes this venue ideal for the family or group who enjoy camping with optional home comforts. the Honeymoon cavern is for those couples perpetually in love. There are 4 maintained walking trails, bushman rock art and the kloof.s favourite natural rock swimming pool. we provide a limited menu on request
We had a lovely overnight stay here before we entered the Baviaanskloof Nature Reserve. The house is very clean and neat and they provide snacks and drinks and wood in the house at extra cost. The owner at staff is very friendly and helpful. I would have loved to stay longer if we had the time.

We sadly never got to stay there, so I cannot comment on the facility's. However, our dealings with the hosts were most disappointing! We broke down about 40 mins away from the establishment coming out of the Baviaanskloof, it was about 5.30pm and very little signal. We managed to find WiFi at a nearby farmer and contacted them for help. They were unwilling to help us in anyway. I also ask for some sort of discount as we were unable to stay there which they refused. Not great way to treat people who are in distress!! Fortunately for us the farmer Chris, had accommodation for us in their Klei Cottage and when above and beyond to help us sort out our vehicle problems!!

Dear Juliet. We do not have any vehicles nor the staff which could have assisted. We however are thankful for Chris who was able to assist you.

We did a tour of the Baviaanskloof with our Bushlapa caravan from the Patensie side. we had to hurry because the daunting road and spectacular sightseeing took a lot of time. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at Duiwekloof Lodge and Campsite. The scenery in the Kloof at sunset was something we will remember forever! The campsite was well laid out with nice level terraces and it was easy to set up our Kewer. Thoko did a great job to show us around. The ablutions were great and we enjoyed the nice corner bath before having a heavenly rest. We woke up with the first sounds of doves cooing; the "valley of doves" was true! We will definitely be back for a longer stay to explore the area with family! Dirk & Retha

We stayed in the Honeymoon Cave and it was fantastic! Lovely details throughout and very private. Lovely walks available and both dinner and breakfast were excellent. The 2 Collies were so friendly and 'guarded' us everywhere we went and overnight!

Duiwekloof Lodge was a perfect place to stay and be one with yourself while exploring the Braviaanskloof, The food was exceptional great and the people look well after us. With so much to do as older people we love the swimming pool set in the rocks!

A place where tranquility and laughter bring friends together. Duiwekloof Lodge has a hospitality atmosphere that lights up the evening stars and makes every sunrise more beautiful. The walking trails lead to adventures and amazing historic views.

Duiwekloof is an amazing lodge in the fantastic Baviaanskloof. The trails guides (the three lodge dogs) were excellent, they know the trails well and love a walk. The honeymoon cave is highly recommended.

What a little gem! We had a wonderful 4 nights at the Duiwekloof Camping site. Facilities were clean and spacious. The pool is amazing. The hikes were fantastic and we were accompanied by 3 great guides and protectors in the form of Captain, Banda and Leia. 3 beautiful resident dogs.
