KOPBEENSKLOOF
Conference in Montagu

Travel here when you need to escape from the rat race in the city. Just be adventurous again and pack your mountain bike, fishing tackle, hiking boots or running shoes to come and enjoy the crisp mountain air. Or just get rejuvenated again by clear star-lit skies (the farm is in the same climatic belt as Sutherland’s telescopes). As a working farm your destination is geared for environmental or educational groups, parent and child camps (any camps for that matter), corporate team building, to celebrate with a birthday bash or that perfect setting for a countryside wedding. The accommodation facilities range from comfort to rustic, or even basic if you really want to rough it! The elevation is somewhat higher than that of Table Mountain. Nature provides the occasional snowfall, clear skies with burning sunsets over Matroosberg, fauna and flora that brings the Cape and Karoo together, the serenity of being close to creation and more. Kopbeenskloof offers the rest through facilities and activities for you to fully enjoy this natural environment. This is more than a hundred meters higher than Table Mountain. It offers visitors some unique climatic conditions for unforgettable experiences during all four seasons. The farm at Kopbeenskloof nestles between the Krakkadouw and Waboom Mountains offering the unique risings and valleys for you to take panoramic pictures (and happy memories) home. They also create great silhouettes for your sunset photographs or a dramatic backdrop when nature’s palette creates a great shadowy scene using the sun, clouds, foliage and rocky surfaces. The mountains are also a diverse source of natural sandstone adorning fashionable architectural surfaces. A visit to Kopbeenskloof is sure to overwhelm you with the rich diversity of flora. Amongst the sandstone mountainous slopes you’ll also find many species of Karoo succulents. Ample reason to return for more as the vista changes with the season, and you certainly don’t have to be a botanist to enjoy the beauty (if you are though, you’ll be equally delighted). The indigenous vegetation and scenery is the main attraction for visitors, together with a topography where you can even experience the occasional snow fall close-up (so come prepared with extra warm clothing, when you also pack your binoculars, camera, hat and suitable footwear for your activity ). Birding at Kopbeenskloof can be very rewarding because of the rich bird life.
