Makkedaat Cave

If you are looking for a completely different accommodation experience in the Baviaanskloof, here it is Absolutely unique. A natural cave that has been enclosed with timber and rock and fitted to sleep 8 people. Facilities include running water, hot shower (Heated by a traditional donkey system and built into the mountain rock), flush toilet (with a view), small kitchen fitted with gas stove and sink. A braai place is situated outside the cave and there is also an open boma for those long evenings spent next to a crackling fire with friends and or family. Parafin lamps and candles provide the light at night and creates a relaxed atmosphere. The accomodation is self catering and you need to bring your own bedding preferably sleeping bags. Meals, can be provided on request and firewood, braai meat and fresh home baked bread can be purchased at the farm. Please arrange these when booking. The mouth of the cave faces east resulting in spectacular views of the sunrise and romantic moons. At night the clear Karoo sky offers excellent opportunities to star gazers. Due to the fact that the cave forms part of the mountain, it is cool in the summer but warm during the winter. This makes the Makkedaat Grot Cave a good choice throughout the year. For the young (and the young at heart) the Lions Den was recently added as a second bedroom. This extension is extremely popular with the children.
