History
Founded
in 1732, the picturesque Cape Dutch homestead of Clanwilliam
is one of the ten oldest towns in the country. Tucked away at
the foot of the Cederberg Mountains and perched on one of the
countries favourite dams, its rich settler history offers a
central location for a variety of attractions from flower viewing
to bushman art and a range of watersports. In keeping with the
rich history of the area, Clanwilliam Lodge itself is a transformed
girls hostel, originally built by the Provincial Administration
in 1916. Much of the furnishings in the lodge are made from
wood from the original building. Clanwilliam is also famous
for growing and cultivating Rooibos Tea and for its original
leather ‘Veldskoene’ factory.
