Visit a sparkling ancient African cave system in the Karoo. One of the major attractions in the Garden Route and Oudtshoorn area is the Cango Caves, which extend for kilometres into the extensive limestone hills.
Situated in the Swartberg Mountains, 30km north of Oudtshoorn are the 20 million year-old Precambrian caves. Africa's largest show cave system is definitely worth a visit just to see the beautiful crystal and flow structures alone.
Although the massive system of tunnels and chambers stretch for over four kilometres, only a quarter of this is open to visitors. You can do a guided standard one hour tour or tackle the more adventurous one and a half hour tour, which includes some tight squeezes.
The Stone Breaker Country Lodge in the picturesque Schoemanspoort, is 15 km from Oudtshoorn on the main road (R328) to the world famous Cango Caves. Stone Breaker Country Lodge is centrally located in respect of all tourist attractions such as the Cango Ostrich Farm (4 km), Cango Wildlife Ranch (12 km), Swartberg Pass (18 km), Rust-en-Vrede Waterfall (16 km).
The thatched Lodge is fitted with modern conveniences and contains a sparkling swimming pool with unspoilt views on the surrounding mountains. A half hour walk on the registered succulent trail, will work up your appetite for a hearty traditional farm-style breakfast or dinner. The Lodge has an African ambience to make you really feel at home. Guests are accommodated in a modern thatched chalet with 12 luxurious big en-suite rooms.
Privacy is ensured - the complex is 30 meters away from the main complex, and has a covered porch with uninterrupted views of the majestic Poort. Standard in all rooms, DSTV, Tea/Coffee facilities, hair dryer, clock radio, fridge, ceiling fans, en-suite bathroom. the lodge is SATOUR accredited and a member of the Oudtshoorn Tourism Bureau. 4 star grading by TGCSA and highly recommended by AA.
