Private stays at Waterval

More than a place to sleep.

Waterval accommodation is available for private stays — families, couples, small groups and individuals looking for a genuine nature escape. You're not in a hotel. You're on a property bordering a 700-hectare fynbos nature reserve, with a waterfall hike and the kind of quiet that's genuinely hard to find an hour from Cape Town.

Private stay availability is limited, which keeps the experience uncrowded. Bookings are on select dates and subject to conference and events calendar. Contact us to check dates.

Good to know

Private stays — how it works.

Waterval is primarily a conference and events venue. Private stays are available on dates when the venue is not booked for corporate or group events. This keeps numbers low and the experience genuinely quiet.

The best way to book is to contact us with your preferred dates. We'll confirm availability and send a proposal within 24 hours. Breakfasts can be arranged; self-catering options are available in most units.
