Welcome to I❤️Cederberg
Hi there! I'm super excited to share my passion project, 'I Love Cederberg,' with you. This endeavor is incredibly close to my heart, and I'm excited to tell you the story behind it.
After my previous startup didn't quite go as planned, I decided to take a much-needed sabbatical. Cape Town, with its summer season packed with tourists and parties, wasn't the peaceful retreat I craved. I needed a break from the noise, so I began browsing Booking.com and Google Maps, looking for a quiet escape. That's when I stumbled upon the hidden gem that is the Cederberg area.
My Journey to Cederberg
It all started with spontaneous bookings at remote Cederberg cottages and guest farms near the N7 highway. One of my favorite spots was Enjo Farm—a perfect place to detox and switch off. Each visit left me feeling rejuvenated and full of life, free from social media drama and the constant barrage of news. It was during these trips that I realized how beautiful and calming the Cederberg is, especially for a digital detox.
The Inspiration Behind 'I Love Cederberg’
The tranquility and natural beauty of the Cederberg had such a profound impact on me that I knew I had to share this experience with others. I wanted to create a website to help people discover the same peace and rejuvenation. I also saw an opportunity to support local tourism. Hosting cottages and farms isn't easy for farmers, and they deserve all the support they can get. To maintain a Cederberg cabin takes a lot of energy and money, adding to the already demanding responsibilities they have. This is my way of giving back, a bit of karma, if you will.
For those of us living in Cape Town, the Cederberg is just a short drive away—around two hours. Yet, despite its proximity, it's an underrated destination with so much to offer. Whether you're a low-budget traveler, looking for a weekend getaway, or seeking 4x4 adventures, the Cederberg has something for everyone.
What Drives this Project
At I❤️Cederberg, I want to show everyone the beauty and calm of the Cederberg. I offer a way for people to unplug, relax, and recharge, while also boosting local tourism. I want everyone to enjoy the Western Cape's wonders, including Cederberg stays, whether you're on a budget or looking for a fancy escape.
A Moment to Remember
One of my most cherished memories in the Cederberg is witnessing a breathtaking sunset during one of my early visits, especially from the cozy porch of the Cederberg mountain cottages. Watching the sun dip below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the vast landscape, filled me with an overwhelming sense of peace. That moment of tranquility and awe is something I want everyone to experience. It's what drives my passion for I❤️Cederberg.
