We offer a wide range of adventures;  from the quietness found in the mountains where you can renew yourself in the greatness of nature, to the early morning beauty of dawn when you are greeted by the barking sound of the baboon look-outs, the gay sound of the twittering birds and the smell of early morning coffee.

The diversity of the plant and animal life on the farm, is a monument for the Moolmans’ strive towards eco-friendly farming. This farm is being conserved for the already born fifth generation due to their application of sustainable farming and anti-erosion policies.

Two luxury A-frame wooden cabins that have awesome views across the area, were built from wood that is 100 years old. The pine trees were unrooted by a sudden, unexpected stormy wind. After the wood has undergone different processes, it was used for the building of these two huts where it found a new life.

Linduli Lodge

Our second year anniversary turned out to be better than our honeymoon. The start of the weekend was so beautiful, filled with history of Cradock & info on the surrounding nature. The welcoming to Linduli Lodge was so memorable as tannie Anne-Marie welcomed us with love & a warm cloth. This truly made a huge impression on both myself & my husband, but nothing could of prepared us for the spectacular view. My word, no picture or explanation would serve it justice. It's truly a reminder of God's work. This experience truly brought both myself & my hubbly closer to each other and even closer to God. Not to forget the most amazing dishes, compliments to the chef tannie Anne-Marie. Everyday we would look forward to the meals & would discuss the flavours & meals back in the cabin. Oom Koot, your beef steak is truly the best & your stories along the hike will forever stay with us. Thank you for a blessed visit & the love. We will return again.

Much love

When we booked Linduli Lodge for a weekend getaway we were hoping to have just a chilled weekend out of town ! Boy oh Boy did we have way more than we hoped for ! We have travelled across the breath of South Africa and this holiday ranks amongst the top of our favorites so much so that we're going to have an annual pilgrimage. From the welcome drinks and warm hospitality of Koot and Anna Marie we knew we had found our own jewel in the mountains of Cradock. There's so much history to learn which is not obvious at a glance. The hiking trails are an adventurer's dream helping you appreciate nature as God intended it to be. The meals were scrumptious and full of variety. I've a mammoth task when I get back home to maintain the status quo !

The weekend was food for our body, soul and spirit ! Thank you for having us you've definitely left a positive mark in our lives and here's to many more visits.

Baie baie dankie !

What a blessing to find this little piece of heaven on earth. We came for 2 days and stayed for 4 ! We sat around the Bushveld TV, encircled by the two ox-wagon rims of a bygone era listening to the "sounds of silence" & "the neon lights we prayed to", were replaced by the lights of the nigh sky.

The wisdom of our host taught us a simple life lesson: it doesn't have to be perfect to be good, but WOW what a perfect experience.

We come seeking the experience & the beauty of the Karoo which we thought lay in nature only to discover that what makes the Karoo special is people like Koot & Anne-Marie

Until we meet again to feed our birds !
