The Baths at Citrusdal is one of South Africa's oldest spa resorts, nestled in the Cedarberg mountains of the Western Cape where lightly mineral oligomineral water flows at 43°C from springs used since the days of the early settlers. The resort's intimate collection of outdoor pools, surrounded by orange groves and rugged sandstone peaks, offers one of the Cape's most scenic thermal bathing settings. The nearby Cedarberg Wilderness Area and the region's famous Rooibos tea farms add to the appeal of a stay at this historic retreat.
