Reviewed Sep 16, 2026Wir sind sehr freundlich empfangen worden. Die Unterkunft in der Wildniss ist herrlich. Am Abend konnten wir mit einem Holzfeuer das Wasser vom Hot Pot erwärmen und anschliesend geniessen. Nach dem tollen Frühstück besuchten wir das Museum und verstanden die San Kultur und wie das Volk damals gelebt hat. Diese Unterkunft kann ich jeden empfehlen.
Es gibt nichts zu beanstanden.

Reviewed Sep 9, 2026Everything about !Khwa ttu is a 10. Beautiful Hilltop cabin complete with braai wood and starter. Views and amenities are everything you'd expect. Appliances are modern. Staff is helpful and wanting to do the right thing. The reserve has nature hikes and game drives on a wide range of topics.
Try the "dinner basket". Top notch restaurant and breakfast (just as top notch) is included with the room.
It's all part of the San Cultural center so staying here helps support them.
Wish they had better kitchen knives.

Reviewed Aug 31, 2026I love the fact that its a private space away from neighbors. The cabin is one with nature, the inside-out connection with nature, I loved it. I truly enjoyed my stay with my partner.
I wish the shower on cold days, especially winter season could have some sort of coverage from the wind, because the combination of hot shower along with the cold wind coming in its just application for flu. Also there was no toilet spray or fragrance to keep the toilet smelling fresh.

Reviewed Jan 22, 2026The unit is stylishly decorated and has all the amenities that you need for a great self-catering stay. We felt safe on the property and they have a night patrol and the gates are locked at night. The staff are hands-on and helpful, and you are met with the usual South African friendliness. The bed was probably the best bed we have slept on during our entire 5 week holiday in SA. The fan was helpful, but we were not there in the peak of Summer heat, but I think if we were, an aircon would have been great. I understand it is a nature reserve, but at the minimum a pool is necessary for SA heat. Some units have a hot tub, but SA has mostly beautiful weather, so a hot tub meets the needs of the cold weather that is only a few months a year. The location was amazing, just a 1 hour drive from CPT.
A guest pool at reception/restaurant would have made it the perfect accommodation. We drove about an hour out to go to the West Coast National park for the day and it was the best part of our trip - take an umbrella and some lunch and you'll have the best day - this was our way to cool down from the heat!
The couch was horrible to sit to, it needs replacing.

Reviewed Oct 30, 2025We stayed at !Kwa ttu with our 7 year old dog. We had the most beautiful time, surrounded by flowering fynbos, spectacular views, sunrises/sunsets, in a calm and peaceful landscape. The cabin is luxurious, well equipped and very comfortable. We really enjoyed the outdoor braai area and hot tub at night while star gazing and under the gentle glow of the moon. Although there are 5 other units next to each other, the orientation and the distance between each unit, ensures that there are enough privacy, we didn’t even hear the neighbours. The place is fitted with premium locally made furniture, linen and homeware, which show a great care in supporting the local design landscape. Baby, the staff who assisted us, is super helpful and kind. She made sure we felt at home. We are super grateful it was a pet friendly place, just be sure to keep your dog on a leash, it is a sensitive landscape, you can see how much work is being done in its rehabilitation. We didn’t want to leave, it was a truly magical experience.
