ROCKWOOD MOUNTAIN CABIN

Rockwood Mountain Cabin is a cosy eco-friendly mountain cabin in the Karkloof Nature Reserve. The cabin sleeps 6 adults in 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. Escape from the bustle of city life as this unit has cell phone reception but no wifi.

NB: 4 x 4 or high clearance access is required for the last 5km especially during wet weather. The roads are regularly maintained but the weather is not.

Rockwood Mountain Cabin is situated on the edge of a natural clearing in a secluded location with spectacular views of the Karkloof Forest. Due to its remote location, this eco-friendly lodge uses solar power and gas.

There are two bedrooms upstairs that share a bathroom with a shower, basin and toilet. One has a XL King bed and the second bedroom has 2 XL single beds. The downstairs bedroom with 2 single XL beds has an en-suite with a bath. Bath and swimming towels, linen, soaps and shampoo are provided for guest convenience.

Enjoy open plan living in the large lounge, dining and kitchen area. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge, stove, oven, microwave, and basic condiments like tea, coffee, sugar, milk, cooking oil, and some spices. The cabin has an entertainment deck with a Big Green Egg ceramic cooker. Charcoal and firelighters are provided.

For the outdoor enthusiast, Rockwood has over 30km of worldclass and well-maintained trails for walking, hiking, running and mountain biking across grasslands, over streams and through the lush indigenous forest of the Karkloof Nature Reserve. Enjoy ball games on the lawn, card and board games indoors or simply relax on the veranda. There is a viewing deck to the Karkloof Canopy Tours a short walk away.

Rockwood Mountain Cabin is 20 minutes from all other Rockwood units on farm roads. The unit is deep within the forests of the Karkloof Nature Reserve and the closest town, Howick, is half an hour away for shopping options and restaurants. For the most memorable stay, we suggest you shop before you arrive so that you don't have to leave the area for the duration of your stay.
