Quoting from Georgia's visitors' book: "The best B and B, here, there or anywhere - come see for yourself!" Mr Robert Koch from Devil's Peak.

Elephant River Guest House offers the most affordable price for all the Old-Worlde charm, comfort, elegance and attention to detail normally associated with a multi-star establishment. 4 Beautifully furnished ensuite garden chalets with comfy beds and bar fridge lead out to a sub-tropical garden and loungers by a large, secluded and refreshing swimming-pool...and you can get the very best breakfast in the Western Cape made a la carte specially to your liking (as much or as little as suits your taste!) Or you can choose to go without breakfast for a reduced rate.
Two minutes walk from town centre and shops. Happy children are welcome and you can park your car safely offroad.

Clanwilliam (7th oldest village in S.A) lies at the foot of the majestic Cederberg Mountain Range. These mountains are world renowned for their Bushman Rock Art, rock climbing and mountain trails all within easy distance. We are also 60 kms from the unspoiled West Coast and situated on the highway to Namibia, so providing a welcoming stop-off.
