What a cute little place!
We had a wonderful 2 night stay in Naguiltjie. Very neat, clean and in nature! Comfortable bed, nice hot water in the shower, and everything you need is in the place. Wake up to the birds chirping. It's so peaceful. The only downside was when we had to come home. Would definitely recommend it. Can't wait to visit again!

Nature and silence.
We really enjoyed our visit. The surroundings are beautiful and the farm is quiet and peaceful. The hosts were very nice and helped immediately when we didn't have hot water on the first night. We were disappointed that we didn't get the unit we booked (Crown Eagle), we were only told on our arrival that there was a double booking.

Pleasure for the soul. Beautiful nature, comfortable accommodation and hospitable owners!
The nature is beautiful. We couldn't believe it was just outside of PE and so much else. The silence was lovely, but it wasn't boring at all. The hiking trails are very well marked and it feels like you are in paradise on your way to the waterfall. Even just sitting on the porch and listening to all the forest sounds was an adventure. The weekend went by way too fast. The house was big and very comfortable with everything you need. Uncle Japie and Auntie Dorie immediately made us feel welcome. The rich history of the farm makes you feel as if you are stepping back in time. What a privilege to be able to leave our footprints on Bergrivier!

Bergrivier is our ideal overnight accommodation in the heart of nature in the Eastern Cape.
For the second time we were privileged and lucky to find a place to sleep in Bergrivier's Naguiltjie rondavel, on top of a hill with incomparable views of the mountains and gorges of the beautiful surroundings. On Bergrivier, nature is undoubtedly the main player in our experience. It's totally quiet and peaceful, isolated, yet accessible, the accommodation wonderfully comfortable and convenient, with the perfect host and wife, Japie and Dorie. Thank you very much for your kind hospitality that we were able to enjoy.

Bergrivier offered us comfortable, affordable accommodation in the heart of the most beautiful piece of nature. We had a wonderful stay in the rondavel on the hill from where we could look out over the wonderful mountains and gorges. The indescribable silence we experienced inside and outside refreshed our spirits. The hiking trail to the waterfall was beautiful, and I could photograph the beautiful dragonflies and butterflies to my heart's content. The host and hostess warmly welcomed us and made us feel at home. Thank you very much, Japie and Dorie, we thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated your hospitality!
