Fodor's Expert Review Traveller's Rest
Off Pakhuis Pass, Clanwilliam, Western Cape, 8135, South Africa
If you're on a tight budget, this farm is the place to stay. There are no frills at these basic but comfortable cottages, but the surrounding mountain scenery is spectacular. It's also where all the climbers come to hang out when they've had enough of conquering the nearby rock faces and need to beef up with a burger. The best reason to stay though, is the Sevilla Rock Art Trail, which starts at Traveller's Rest. You can take a guided tour or explore on your own with a booklet that describes all the rock art on the farm. The restaurant is open daily and has a menu of traditional dishes like bobotie, eland stew, and chicken curry.
PROS
- nearby rock-art route
- very reasonable rates
- cottages are self-catering
CONS
