Bo Kouga Mountain Retreat is located in the Western Cape province of South Africa (Map of the region ->this link opens in a new window). Summers are warm to hot with mostly cool evenings. Occasionally we enjoy some winter snowfalls sending icy cold weather up north. We also enjoy winter rainfalls and much of the Cape weather.


Bo Kouga is the ideal getaway should you wish to get away from it all. Relax, breathe and find yourself again. A great place to just sit and reflect on life, meditate and be at one with nature. At Bo Kouga we encourage you to enjoy the peacefulness and beauty that surrounds you. We respect your privacy at all times.
