The Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse is tucked away in the beautiful Kamberg valley in the Drakensberg Mountains near Giants Castle. It is a romantic and gourmet getaway that prides itself on the fresh local cuisine cooked by a world-class culinary staff. The decor has a charming feel of rustic luxury that compliments the rugged mountain setting beautifully. Escape to this oasis of hidden culinary gems amid the striking Drakensburg ridges for a wonderfully relaxing time.
The menu changes every evening according to the seasons and availability of local produce and the 7-course dinner means that no expense is spared in giving guests a memorable dining experience. Every one of Chef Richards sumptuous meals - more personalized than any - is an extraordinary chef-d oeuvre that redefines the concept of flavor. Blazing log fires on chilly evenings and choice wines from the cellar make perfect accompaniments.
Each room has been decorated with pure originality and has its own veranda with wonderful views of the mountains and sparkling lake. For most guests however, Cleopatras enthusiastic celebration of food, flavor and freshness is rated its first attraction. Bushman rock art, trout fishing, swimming, mountain hiking, cenic walks and birding are some of the major attractions of this area.
