Hidden between two mountain ranges, the little known Banghoek Private Nature Reserve is heaven for nature lovers, walkers and anyone wanting to escape for a weekend or even several weeks. Set between Piketberg and the West Coast, there’s so much to explore in this area – from the fishing villages dotted along the rugged coast, to seafood feasts at foodie destinations like Muisbosskerm, or wine tasting on the Swartland Wine Route. But there’s good reason why many don’t set foot outside the valley on their first visit… the walks and views are mesmerisingly beautiful, especially in spring when the wild flowers bloom. Banghoek Private Nature Reserve is bordered by blueberry farms on one side and the vast farmlands of the Swartland on the other, yet surrounding craggy mountain peaks are not unlike the nearby russet-coloured Cederberg peaks and crystal-clear night skies are filled with stars. Browse our selection of luxury accommodation and let us help you find your perfect hideaway in the Banghoek Valley.
