Krakadouw is not merely overnight accommodation; it is a place where people should stay long enough to see sunrises and sunsets, to swim in the natural pools of the Jan Dissels River which winds through the farm, to enjoy the hiking routes in the neighbouring Cederberg wilderness reserve, to watch the baboons on the rocky outcrops and, if you are lucky, to hear the distant growl of the leopard high up on the Krakadouw Peak.
