Mount Ceder sits in a remote valley in the Cederberg Mountains, about three hours from Cape Town, inside a UNESCO World Heritage wilderness. Places like this collect stories, so we have started writing them down.
Here you will find guides to the landscape and what to do in it, from hiking and canoeing to stargazing under a sky with no light pollution. You will also read about the food at Old Mill House, the conservation work we care about, and the people who make Mount Ceder what it is. Some pieces are practical. Others are simply good stories.

The stars are exceptional at Mount Ceder because there is no light pollution from surrounding towns or cities. The skies are clear and you can see most of the constellations.
