WATERVAL NATURE RESERVE

The Lowdown on Waterval Country Lodge

Welcome to Waterval — a private nature reserve near Tulbagh, where breathtaking waterfalls, wide-open space, and heartfelt hospitality come together to create unforgettable experiences.

Whether you're planning a conference, school camp, team building retreat, or private celebration, you’ll feel the magic the moment you arrive.

​

The Location

Tucked away in the Western Cape, Waterval Country Lodge sits on a 300-hectare nature reserve just outside Tulbagh. It's a sanctuary of indigenous forest, mountain peaks, and the ever-present soundtrack of a cascading waterfall. This stunning natural setting is what makes Waterval such a unique and inspiring location for groups seeking rest, connection, or a bit of both.
