One of the characteristics that makes Rosenhof stand out from the rest is the knowledge of the Cederberg which is shared with great enthusiasm by her owner and your host, Karen. Her passion for the Cederberg, for the unspoiled natural beauty with sandstone rock formations, waterfalls and crystal clear rock pools, the smells and scents of Fynbos and wild flowers, called her and her husband Coetzee back to this pristine natural beauty more than 20 years later - the circle was complete with their return with the purchase of Rosenhof, centrally located in Clanwilliam's most historic street - with a great longing and to pursue their dreams, to return to this intoxicating domain - where they first found each other some many years back, between stone and rock, with the realization that they share the same passion for these untouched rock plains and the rugged landscapes the Cederberg has to offer, to share with everyone this jewel of the Western Cape, only 2 hour drive from Cape Town. Their perseverance and the decision to take a new lease on life, is one success story that is an inspiration and testimony of their passion that they like to share - to live on the edge full of confidence and believe of what the future would bring. Rosenhof is more than just a place to stay; her dreams built on warmth, passion and the will to share and serve, contradict that we truly care. Coetzee and Karen are dedicated to welcome guests to ensure an experience to take away with them, to share with others with the same infectiousness that they radiate as hosts. This promise and dedication to personalized service and heartfelt hospitality remains at the core of the Rosenhof experience.
