The Baths Natural Hot Springs

This resort is located near Citrusdal, a small town at the base of the Cederberg Mountains. Records of the springs, which flow from an artesian well, date back to 1739, when the Dutch East India Company constructed a building and bath huts to facilitate bathing. The natural springs reach temperatures of up to 43 degrees Celsius.

Montagu Springs

Montagu is a charming little town surrounded by the Langeberg Mountains and known for its rich agricultural heritage (vineyards and orchards abound!) and, of course, its renowned natural hot springs. The resort is located on the famous Route 62, a scenic road connecting the Western Cape and the Eastern Cape and known for spectacular views and some of South Africa’s most remarkable ecology. It stretches for 850km and offers unique opportunities to visit and support small farming villages and boasts the title of the longest wine route in the world!

Aside from the stunning location, the resort itself is fully equipped with a myriad of activities including sports facilities (tennis, cycling, football, and volleyball), multiple swimming pools both heated and cold for the warmer days, as well as playgrounds and a games room for kids. Accommodations on offer include large and small chalets in a variety of different styles, or private villas nestled away in the slightly higher reaches of the resort.

Warmwaterberg Spa

Warmwaterberg Spa is another Route 62 gem located between Barrydale and Ladismith. The mineral hot spring is situated on a large property which offers self-catering accommodation (houses, chalets, caravans, or camping facilities), a restaurant, and a spa. The nearby Barrydale is well worth a visit, especially during tourist season when visitors flock to the town to check out the local markets as well as their annual sporting events and spring festival.
