Have a great rest, visit and enjoy the beautiful, unspoiled nature.
We had a wonderful stay in Berghoff. The house is spacious, well equipped, super clean and tidy. The most beautiful view and beautiful scenery surrounds you and the clear star dome in the evening is a sight to remember. We walked far with our dogs and the field was covered with the most beautiful flowers and vegetation. The rock formations that form part of the majestic Winterhoek Mountains captured our imagination. Berghoff is a gem and we really enjoyed it. Many thanks to Margot, Marius and team. You farm we have lyrics.

Lasya, baie dankie vir die mooi resensie! Ek moet bieg my verbeelding loop op hol wanneer ons die rotse bekyk. Ek dink soms dis waar die "Lord of the Rings" vervaardigers hulle idees kom haal het vir hulle kreature! Julle is enige tyd welkom om weer te kom kuier. Groete, Marius

I would like to visit Berghof again. We got there on Friday evening and it was very cold. I had a lot of trouble getting the fireplace going without fire starters. After I sent the owner, Marius, a WhatsApp to please us. to provide with it (thinking that it will not be until the Saturday morning), he immediately came and brought it to us and with a bottle of red wine as a gift. We really enjoyed the hiking trails as a family. I can highly recommend Berghoff!

Amanda, baie dankie vir die positiewe resensie. Ons het geglip met die vuuraanstekers, wat ons altyd verskaf, so ek het net reggemaak wat ons verbrou het! Ons is bly julle het goeie weer gehad en die Catamount staproete kon doen met die kinders. Nou kort hulle net 'n somer besoek om in die dam te gaan baljaar! Groete, Marius

We enjoyed the visit tremendously. The view to the valley is breathtaking. The silence is something to experience. The 4 of us (2 children) had a nice walk and the children played and played. The cottage is very well equipped. Thank you very much.

Lambert, baie dankie vir die positiewe resensie, en ons is bly julle het dit geniet. Julle moet volgende keer (somertyd) in een van die ander huise bly sodat die kinders die dam kan benut - bote, swem en klei vir latgooi en modelle bou! Die uitsig daardie kant is Keeromvallei en Kouebokkeveldberge se kant toe.

Wonderfully relaxing with the whole world to yourself.
It was everything my wife and I wanted. A remote cabin in the woods. Although you see houses in the distance, they do not bother you because all you are looking at is the wonderful nature and view. Gliders and hang gliders occasionally float over your head while you are surrounded by pin cushions and proteas, after all, that's what the people do for a living on the mountain. You are also encouraged to take some flowers home afterwards. The house has only the necessary. Solar powered lights, fridge and stove that work on gas and an outdoor barbecue with a crate of wood per night. Provision has been made for you to charge your mobile phone. But let him be mushy, rather listen to the noise of the sun bugs. Go and relax in the converted windmill pond. The pace up the mountain is an experience, not for the faint of heart, but the views are amazing. My family car made the journey without any problems, but I had to drive slowly and carefully. Vehicles with higher ground clearance are definitely recommended. And take everything you might need in terms of food and drink. As far as I know there is no cafe on the mountain.

Fantasies for escape and peace of mind.
Berghoff is in a truly beautiful setting. One is surrounded by mountains, silence and nature sounds. It is very close to the Groot Winterhoek Wilderness Area's gate and therefore longer walking routes. There are also shorter hiking trails on Berghoff, which my family really enjoyed. Personally, the natural beauty, silence and peacefulness of Berghoff were the highlights for me. I found peace of mind here from a busy city life. Berghoff is committed to sustainable development and e.g. all rubbish is sorted and recycled where possible. The water on the farm comes from mountain springs and has been tested and found to be purer than bottled water! The natural vegetation and proteas are beautiful. I recommend Berghoff to anyone who loves nature and the mountains. Feel free to visit!

Definitely value for money, nice rustic chalet with everything you need. View from porch excellent and can hold long evenings. Plus point is that it is located on a farm where Proteas are farmed. No other chalets nearby and 100% privacy guaranteed. Will definitely stay here again.

Berghof is the only one of its kind. Nowhere else in the Western Cape are you going to get this quality view. You can even see as far as Table Mountain and everything in between. The house is cosy with the necessary equipment. You will not regret it.

We enjoyed our stay at Berghoff. Margot was very friendly, my proteas that I got is still alive! We walked to the waterfall, but there was little water. It is the hottest and driest time of the year. The rock formations were breathtaking on the way to the waterfall. The Farm Market on a Saturday morning is a must see! Really relaxed.

Nadia, julle moet lentetyd terugkom om die veld en waterval op hulle beste te sien! Ons stem saam die stap alleen is reeds 'n belewenis, dis kop-skoonmaak tussen die rotsformasies is werklik iets besonders. Porterville se plaasmark bou vinnig aan 'n baie goeie reputasie en mense ry nou al uit Kaapstad aan hiernatoe.

Ursula, julle is enige tyd weer welkom. Mens kan jou net indink hoe die honde se sintuie geprikkel word deur die vreemde reuke in die fynbos veld. Interessant ook dat ons eie honde, na jare se daaglikse stap, steeds nie versadig raak daaraan nie.

A particularly peaceful place in nature.
Accommodation was perfect, in nature. Enjoyed it a lot. One thing I can suggest is to indicate on the website that the road to Klipspringer is quite bad, and not any car will be able to drive the road. Happily rode our Polo Vivo but spun out the whole uphill to get out. So definitely not driving the road with my Volkswagen Jetta. But other than that it was an experience.

Elma, ons is bly julle het die besoek geniet. Dit verstom ons steeds om soveel mense te sien gebottelde water saambring. Ons boorgatwater is onlangs getoets en oortref Kaapstad se bloudruppel kraanwater sowel as 3 gebottelde water vervaardigers se standaarde. Ek dink mense vergeet soms waar water gebore word. Hopelik kry ons nog reën deur die somer om die waterval aan die gang te hou. Groete, Marius en Margot.
