If the idea of crackling fires, cosy comforts, and a festive twist in the middle of winter sounds like your kind of getaway, then Waterval Country Lodge in Tulbagh is calling your name this June.
Nestled in the lush heart of the “Valley of Abundance”, this little gem is the perfect base for the much-loved Tulbagh Christmas in Winter festival — and yes, it’s every bit as magical as it sounds.
Enjoy the Christmas spirit during winter in Africa with the Christmas in Winter festival in Tulbagh.
- This unforgettable experience set in the picturesque historic town of Tulbagh, promises the warmth of festive cheer with a unique twist — WINTER VIBES IN AFRICA. From Friday, June 27th to Sunday, June 29th, 2025, families can experience the magic of Christmas with winter activities, holiday spirit, and a true celebration of joy.
