Wat 'n oulike plekkie!

Ons het 'n wonderlike 2 nagte in Naguiltjie gebly. Baie netjies, skoon en in die natuur! Gemaklike bed, lekker warm water in die stort, en alles wat mens nodig het is in die plekkie. Word wakker met die voëltjies wat tjirp. Dit is so rustig. Die enigste nadeel was toe ons moes huistoe kom. Sal dit definitief aanbeveel. Kan nie wag om weer te kom kuier nie!

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!

Fabulous accommodation in a beautiful setting.

Japie and Dorie are wonderful hosts. It was lovely to spend time at this beautiful farm. We only had one night and managed a mini hike to the waterfall. We were a party of 7 on a journey to a wedding. Bergrivier set the tone for a wonderful road trip in this diverse and beautiful country.

Natuur en stilte.

Ons het ons besoek baie geniet. Die omgewing is pragtig en die plaas is stil en rustig. Die gashere was baie gaaf en het dadelik gehelp toe ons nie warm water gehad het op die eerste aand nie. Ons was wel telerugesteld dat ons nie die eenheid wat ons bespreek het (Kroonarend) gekry het nie, ons is eers met ons aankoms meegedeel dat daar 'n dubbelbespreking was.

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.

Lafenis vir die siel. Pragtige natuur, gerieflike akkommodasie en gasvrye eienaars!

Die natuur is pragtig. Ons kon nie glo dit is net buite PE en soveel anders nie. Die stilte was heerlik, maar dit was glad nie vervelig nie. Die staproetes is baie goed gemerk en dit voel asof jy in 'n paradys is op pad na die waterval toe. Selfs net deur op die stoep te sit en na al die bosgeluide te luister was 'n avontuur. Die naweek het heeltemal te vinnig verbygegaan. Die huis was groot en baie gerieflik met alles wat jy nodig het. Oom Japie en Tannie Dorie het ons onmiddellik laat welkom voel. Die ryk geskiedenis van die plaas laat 'n mens voel asof jy terugstap in tyd. Wat 'n voorreg om ons voetspore op Bergrivier te kon agterlaat!

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 ons ideale oornagverblyfplek in die hart van die natuur in die Oos-Kaap.

Vir die tweede keer was ons bevoorreg en gelukkig om 'n slaapplekkie in Bergrivier se Naguiltjie-rondawel te kry, bo-op 'n heuwel met onvergelyklike uitsigte op die berge en klowe van die pragtige omgewing. Op Bergrivier is die natuur ongetwyfeld die hoofrolspeler in ons ervaring. Dis totaal en al stil en vreedsaam, afgesonder, maar tog bereikbaar, die akkommodasie heerlik gemaklik en gerieflik, met die perfekte gasheer en -vrou, Japie en Dorie. Baie dankie vir julle vriendelike gasvryheid wat ons kon geniet.

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.

We loved it.

Very friendly hosts. Comfortable and well-equipped accommodation. We thoroughly enjoyed the views, night sky, variation in the landscape and vegetation. We did three of the hiking trails & had delicious swim at the waterfall. The history of the farm and additional information about that and the restored ox wagons, plus friendly chats to the hosts added value to our stay. It is a real breakaway and good for the soul. Great that one can access and visit this kind of location.

Bergrivier het vir ons gerieflike, bekostigbare verblyf in die hartjie van die mooiste stuk natuur gebied.

Die onbeskryflike stilte wat ons van binne en buite ervaar het, het ons gees verkwik. Die staproete tot by die waterval was pragtig, en ek kon na hartelus die pragtige naaldekokers en skoenlappers afneem. Die gasheer en gasvrou het ons hartlik verwelkom en laat tuis voel.

Dis altyd lekker as 'n nuwe verblyf jou verwagtinge oortref. Alles wat nodig was, is daar, mooi skoon en die ou meubels skep net nog meer plaas gevoel. Was rêrig mal oor die plekkie. Wens ons kon langer bly. Natuurskoon is pragtig. Ontvangs was baie vriendelik.

Bergrivier is 'n klipgooi van Jefrreysbaai af. Wat 'n vriendelike ontvangs. Die ligging is wonderlik! 'n Verrassing om elke hoek. Dis 'n moet as jy op soek is na vrede en rustigheid. 'n Moet as jy gesinstyd nodig het. Jy sal nie jammer wees nie. Dankie.

Fantasmagories!

Dit was voorwaar die beste wegbreek ooit! So rustig, sielskos. Ons plekkie, Kroonarend, was pynlik netjies, dit voel of jy by jou ouerhuis gaan kuier. Die natuur kalmeer jou gemoed, dit is rerig baie mooi! Ons sal definitief weer by Bergrivier gaan kuier!

Fantastic!

This has been the best break ever! Peaceful and refreshing. Our unit, Kroonarend, was so neat - it feels like you're visiting your childhood home. The nature calms you and is so beautiful. Would definitely go to Bergrivier again!

Asemrowende atmosfeer en lekker rustig en skoon.

Het dit so baie geniet. Die atmosfeer is so skoon en die uitsig is asemrowend. Het die staproete gaan doen na die waterval en, wow, was dit nou nie lekker nie. Baie vriendelike mense en die plek waar ons oornag het is baie netjies en lekker groot. Daar is van als wat jy nodig het. Ons beplan alreeds ons volgende datums en die keer gaan ons definitief langer bly.

Breathtaking atmosphere and nice and quiet and clean.

Enjoyed it so much. The atmosphere is so clean and the view is breathtaking. Did the hiking trail to the waterfall and, wow, wasn't it fun. Very friendly people and the place where we spent the night is very neat and nice and big. There is everything you need. We are already planning our next dates and this time we will definitely stay longer.

Rustigheid van self.

Skoon, netjiese akkommodasie, verskeie staproetes met tot 'n swemgat by die waterval. Sal wel graag by die kothuis 'n verbeeterde braaistruktuur will hê. Geen rusplek vir rooster, behalwe 'n paar kwart bakstene nie. Sal definitief weer gebruik maak van Bergriver.

Tranquility of self.

Clean, neat accommodation, several hiking trails with up to a swimming hole at the waterfall. Would like to have an improved braai structure at the cottage. No resting place for grill except a few quarter bricks. Will definitely use Bergriver again.

Heerlik rustig.

Grondpaadjie was regtig te erg vir ons motor wat laag is - ons koffie in poeiervorm het alles uitgeskud (prop losgeskud) en sleepwaentjie vol gelê - gasheer was egter so vriendelik dat hy ons waentjie tot bo gesleep het met sy bakkie toe ons die plek verlaat, sodat ons kon verder ry - pragtige mense.

So peaceful.

The gravel road was really too bad for our low car - our coffee powder spilled (lid went loose) and the trailer was filled with it. The host was so friendly and towed our trailer all the way to the top when we departed, so that we could drive the rest of the way. Stunning people.

We will definitely be back and would recommend Bergrivier to anyone.

When you are busy with your day-to-day routine you don't realise how much noise surrounds you. At Bergrivier the silence is deafening. After we unpacked we sat on the "stoep" for a while and just listened. An hour of nothingness and the stress of the city had left us and we were enjoying the relaxing atmosphere of Bergrivier. Our hosts made us feel right at home immediately, constantly checking if we had everything we needed but not disturbing us. We were able to reach numerous mountain bike trails too and there were lots of hiking trails to go and explore.

Lekker warm ontvangs. Staproete moet gedoen word, was die sweet werd. Kinders sien en beleef die natuur al het hulle gekla die heel pad. Lekker gewees.

Absoluut fantasties.

Die gasheer en -vrou daar is waarlik vriendelik en so aangenaam. Baie skoon en netjies en die uitsig is ongelooflik. Die staproetes wat hul bied is so mooi en neem tog 'n tydjie om uit te vra oor die geskiedenis van die plaas ... jy sal voel jy hoort daar! Ons het ons tyd waarlik geniet en sal beslis terug gaan ... net vir langer. Baie dankie vir alles en jul gasvryheid. Sien jul volgende jaar!

Lovely cottage in a very tranquil setting.

Our stay at the Bergriver was wonderfully relaxing and peaceful. The cottage is situation in the middle of nature... with loads of bird song during the day, and at night, calls from the wildlife. A perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of life.
