"Sudden the desert changes,

 The raw glare softens and clings,

 Till the aching [Swartberg] ranges

 Stand up like the thrones of kings." 

                                     Rudyard Kipling

 

Bergwater guesthouses. . . a unique Karoo experience

This 800ha private estate – 20ha under vines – is just 20km into the breathtaking Prince Albert Valley . If you need a break, want a change of scene, or yearn for some private time then Bergwater’s guesthouses are where you’ll find it.

Choose from a 200 year-old farmhouse, lovingly restored with high ceilings, original poplar beams and creaking floors (sleeps six). Or the Aviator Guesthouse newly built alongside a private airstrip with a hangar for your plane (sleeps four).

Both of these luxuriously fitted guesthouses offer uninterrupted panoramic views of unspoilt Karoo ... in all its silence and glamour. Bright days and starry nights will remind you of how our world used to look, without streetlights, television, intrusive cellphones or the lure of the Internet.

Opt for old or modern, whatever suits you best, price is the same for either. Extended vineyards separate the guesthouses and each offers their own signature ambience. At Bergwater’s guesthouses you get the best views, great walks, gentle privacy and absolute peace, all in luxurious accommodation. Your only regret is sure to be that you couldn’t stay longer.
