A hosted weekend away from the city.

What this is

A hosted weekend away from the city.

Mountain & Table is a small-group retreat in the Cederberg mountains, a few hours from Cape Town.

You leave the city behind and arrive to a fully set-up camp — everything considered, nothing overdone.

The weekend moves between hiking, swimming in natural rock pools, long meals and quiet time outdoors.

Simple, comfortable and carefully put together.

The Weekend

A weekend that unfolds naturally.

Arrive from Cape Town and settle into camp. The first evening gathers around a long table and a traditional braai, with drinks flowing and introductions turning into conversation. As the fire burns low, the sky opens up — clear, quiet and full of stars.

Saturday moves at its own pace. A morning hike leads to hidden rock pools, followed by long swims, sun on warm stone and time to properly switch off. As evening comes in, the group comes back together for a relaxed, pizza-making dinner under the open sky.

Sunday begins slowly. Coffee, breakfast and one last swim or walk before heading back to the city — reset, clear-headed and reluctant to leave.
