What guests love...

Wonderfully peaceful place, away from all the noise. Feels incredibly safe. Sofia and her partner are both very kind and welcoming. it's a fantastic getaway, in a stylishly designed flatlet with a pool. I was specifically impressed with the attention to details and well stocked pantry basket :) I am planning to book it again very soon! Thank you Sofia!

What a BEAUTIFUL place & experience. ...It feels like you are so far away from anything in the most wonderful way, in the middle of this mountain range; a stunning view to all sides. The host Sofia is a suuuuper friendly human that we really enjoyed talking to and felt quite taken care off. ... Thanks a lot :)

We had absolutely fantastic time in the Nama cottage. The place is very well designed and equipped, the views are beautiful, night sky is amazing and Sofia and Eppert are great hosts. Highly recommended.

Planning questions we already expect

A solid trip starts before arrival. These are the basics we want to make easy.

When is the best time to visit Rocklands for climbing?

The main Rocklands season for climbing usually runs from the Southern Hemisphere’s late autumn (May) into spring (September), when the air is cool and dry enough for long days on the boulders. Guests who are here for hiking, stargazing, or a slower farm stay often enjoy the same window — mild days and crisp evenings.

Ask us for local guide recommendations or download The Topo app to navigate to your next boulder problem.

December and January is the height of the South African summer - intense heat (highs of 29-34°C), very dry air, and a consistent breeze. Despite daytime heat, it cools down significantly at night (lows of 15-18°C). Guests are advised to bring light clothing for the day and a warmer layer for at night.

What payment options do you offer?

Yoco card tap payments on site
EFT (Electronic Bank Transfer) - US and European guests favour Wise, Revolut etc to deposit into a South African account from abroad.
