Baviaanskloof - UNESCO World Heritage Site - South Africa 

Entering from the Eastern side of the Baviaanskloof

Continue on the R332 through the Gamtoos valley from Patensie. The road will eventually become gravel.  The journey to Kamerkloof can take anything up to 5 hours from Patensie. You will travel through some majestic scenery over 3 mountain passes and cross the Baviaanskloof River many times. 

You will be asked a small fee per vehicle from Easter Cape Parks Board (ECPTA). But drive slowly and carefully and keep on your side of the road when going around corners. A high-clearance vehicle is needed for this route. In times of high water and flooding, a true 4X4 with a low range is needed. We will inform you if this is required before your departure.

At Kleinpoort there is a General Dealer. You can’t mistake the old Shell petrol sign outside. Kamerkloof is 7 kms from Kleinpoort.  You will pass Saaimanshoek and see the rugby field on the right.  The Kamerkloof entrance is directly opposite 'Babes se Winkel'. Look out for a brown and white sign "Kamerkloof, Baviaanskloof Hartland ” on your right.

Entering from the Western side of the Baviaanskloof

If you are travelling southwards on the N9 North of Willowmore enter Baviaanskloof using the dirt road 3kms south of Willowmore (R332). If you are travelling Northwards on the N9 from George, Oudtshoorn, De Rust or Uniondale take the Baviaanskloof/Vaalwater turn-off. This turnoff is approximately 30km North of Uniondale also on the N9.  Do not use the Hartbeesrivier/Baviaanskloof turn-off from the N9. Once you have taken the Vaalwater turnoff, you travel for about 20 mins and will come to a T-junction. Turn left there, and travel for another 15 mins passing the Vaalwater Lodge before reaching another T-junction. A 'Willowmore-Baviaanskloof' sign. Turn right here to 'Baviaanskloof'. 

Once you pass the sign for Beacosnek you will be entering the area we call the Studtispoort. Once you exit this poort you will pass a turnoff to your right to Sewefontein and perhaps have noticed a sign, ‘Sewefontein Gemeenskapsplaas’. Our entrance is about 300m from here, on the left. Our guest house sign and turn-off is directly opposite ‘Babes-se-winkel’. Look out for a brown and white sign “Kamerkloof, Baviaanskloof Hartland ” on your left.
