InniKloof Cottages

• Baviaanskloof
• Gamtoos Valley

InniKloof is located in the secluded Honey Clough valley on the eastern side of the Baviaans Mega Reserve and the Garden Route. Four cottages offer relaxation and peace in the quiet Kleinrivierkloof. Each cottage provides accommodation for up to six guests and is fully-equipped for self-catering.  Our campsite is a large grass-covered area surrounded by indiginous trees. We are constantly adding to the list of activities by expanding the hiking trails and coordinating with our neighbouring establishments to offer motocycle and moutainbike routes.

The family farm, Honey Clough, has been in the possession of the Wait family since 1822 and is situated at the foot of the Winterhoek Mountains in the Eastern Cape. The farm lies in the fertile Gamtoos Valley, 12km from the small rural town, Hankey, and is adjacent to the spectacular Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area, a World Heritage Site.

The Klein River runs through the valley and provides ample, sparkling-clean water for irrigation. It is a working citrus farm where naartjies and oranges are cultivated.

InniKloof is within 70 kilometers of the Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area, Kouga Dam, Patensie, Humansdorp, Jeffrey’s Bay, Cape St Francis, St Francis Bay and Port Elizabeth.

The closest town is Hankey (12km), the oldest town in the valley. There one can visit the graves of Sarah Baartman and Rev. Phillips, the founder of the town.

Hankey also has one of the best 9-hole golf courses in South Africa.

The Cottages

There are four cottages, Geelhout, Tierhout, Olienhout and Melkhout. Melkhout and Geelhout each has a large double bedroom as well as a second room for three guests with 1 additional bed in the lounge  (6 guests in total). Tierhout and Olienhout each has a large double bedroom as well as a second room for five guests with 2 additional beds in the lounge (9 guests in total). Extra beds and a baby cot can be added if required. The kitchen is fully-equipped with a fridge, hotplate, microwave, electric fryingpan, toaster and kettle.

A gas geyser supplies hot water for the shower and basins. Smoking is prohibited in the houses. The spacious lounge provides enough place for puzzle-building or reading. Each cottage has an outside braai and the lapa offers a shady place where guests can gather around the braai. (wood available) A huge natural swimming hole will offer a welcome respite during the summer months. Regretfully we cannot allow pets as this is a wilderness area.
