Elandsberg Eco Tourism

Elandsberg Eco Tourism is located 22km from Clanwilliam in the Cederberg and 45km from Lambert’s Bay on the West Coast. As such it located in South Africa’s prime indigenous Rooibos Tea growing and manufacturing centre, the fringe of the magnificent Cederberg Mountains and close to the popular West Coast.

The expansive property features typical Cederberg rock formations with boulders scattered about, indigenous Fynbos, as well as commercial Rooibos Tea Plantations. Birdlife is prolific and includes the Black Eagle with a wingspan in excess of two metres.

Elandsberg Eco Tourism conducts tours for visitors on the property. On the Rooibos Tea Tour you get to visit Rooibos plantations and a processing plant with a thorough explanation of how everything works from planting ‘till the packaged product is produced. A second tour option takes you into the natural Fynbos on the property where you’ll be introduced to one of the richest and most diverse plant biomes on earth (Fynbos), that is unique to South Africa. You’ll also view intriguing rock formations and learn how it and the surrounding mountains were formed and the role the mountains play in the larger ecology. A combined Rooibos and Fynbos tour is also available.

Two simple self-catering apartments, sleeping four each, is available on the property. Breakfast or other meals may be requested in advance.
