From glamping under the stars to private lodge stays — accommodation at Waterval means waking up to fynbos, birdsong and mountain views. One hour from Cape Town.
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 in the Tulbagh valley, 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.
Bush Camp sleeps up to 125 and the Guinea Fowl Lodge up to 45, including its garden rooms and log cabins — a combined maximum of 170. Unit sizes vary, so how many people we can take depends on the make-up of your group. Send us your numbers and we will tell you exactly what fits.
Luxury glamping tents set in the fynbos, away from the main lodge. Private deck, bedding, lighting and en-suite facilities. The closest you'll get to sleeping in the wild without sacrificing comfort. Sleeps up to 125.
A self-contained lodge for larger groups or families, with a full kitchen, living area and multiple bedrooms. Named after the guinea fowl that roam the grounds freely. Sleeps up to 45, including its garden rooms and log cabins.

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.
