Bergrivier Eastern Cape

 
 

Description

Experience a true eco-retreat where you can relax in one of the most tranquil settings nature has to offer. Bergrivier is situated in beautiful, peaceful surroundings at the beginning or end of the Baviaanskloof route.

We offer luxury accommodation in the rondavel, or a pioneer experience in an ox-wagon. Campers can pitch a tent at the beautiful campsite.

This is a paradise for birdwatchers. The beautiful Knysna Loerie is seen quite often. At night you will hear the Night Jar calling and so often do you see the Crown Eagle soaring over the hills. The call of the Fish Eagle is also occasionally heard.

Guests can enjoy a hike in the veld or kloof and, for the more adventurous, mountain biking can be arranged in the adjacent Longmore forest. This retreat is conveniently located in the scenic Eastern Cape, only 50 km west of Port Elizabeth, and close to the N2. The very popular beach resort, Jeffrey's Bay, is only 35 km away.

Camping
ellie goossens, South Africa
26 April 2012
It was such a peaceful, rustic campsite and we had a very friendly welcome. Both days we walked up the unspoiled side kloof where the vegetation was very lush with quite a number of birds, as well as an eagle's nest. Although the water was fresh we had a great swim in the pool in the river.
Redpath visit December 2011
Attie Redpath, South Africa
09 January 2012
The Redpath's - Attie, Margie, Byloo and Lynmayri - had a wonderfull time at Bergrivier. We will recommend Bergrivier to anybody that wants to relax and enjoy nature. The views are amazing and the waterfall a 'must' to visit. The log cabin is comfortable and the old ox wagons a real treat. The hosts are wonderful and be sure to talk to Oom Japie regarding the history of the farm. We thank Oom Japie and Tannie Dorie for a wonderful time. We will visit again.
Amazing escape
Simone Greveling, South Africa
09 January 2012
An amazing escape just off the N2, in a beautiful part of the Eastern Cape. We were warmly welcomed and accommodated. It is ideal for nature lovers who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. I would have loved to stay longer and enjoy the waterfall, nature walk, and more. Amazing stargazing - a real highlight of our holiday! Frog calls galore! This is such a special place that every one needs to visit.
Beautiful

30 August 2011
A wonderful weekend camping getaway where "living off nature" is at its best! Our favourite was the old-school donkey (making a fire every morning for our hot shower) and the most beautiful walk up the river.We can't wait to do this again when we get back to see if our rock pile that we made is still standing. We will most definitely be back! Will just bring more drinking water next time! Overall the most wonderful weekend I have had in a long time! Thank you Oom Japie and Tannie Dorie.
