BERGPLAATS GAME LODGE
Type : Game Farm Accommodation Grading : Tourism Grading Council of South Africa - Not graded Location : Beaufort West Dist.
Entering Beaufort West with its pear-tree-lined streets, green playing fields is a refreshing experience after a long drive through the flat, hot, dry Karoo. It is what its citizens call it, 'the oasis town'. Beaufort West lies between two rivers, the Kuils and the Gamka, but there is seldom any water in the river beds; the town's lifeline is the Gamka Dam, a great reservoir built in the catchment area, high up in the Nuweveld Mountains, ten kilometres to the north.
Description : Bergplaats Game Farm is situated on 9 000ha of private land on the plains of the Karoo just 60km outside the town of Beaufort West. Set against a mountain backdrop, the farm supports a huge diversity of more than 1 000 plant varieties from South Africa's various biomes - the distinct ecological communities of plants in a particular climatic area. Animals abound, and there are more than 50 mammal species, over 300 bird species and numerous reptiles and amphibians in this healthy, malaria-free area.
Bergplaats serves as a private safari destination for both local and international visitors and it is also a tranquil retreat for those needing to escape the stresses of city life. The estate offers accommodation in a fully furnished and equipped four-bedroom farmhouse, Gemsbok Lodge, and can accommodate up to 14 people. The house is connected to a bar and lapa.
For the more private clients, there is the exclusive and private Guest Suite at Gemsbok Lodge. The Private Suite offers 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, private kitchen and lounge. The large lounge opens up onto a private patio and has its own jetmaster fireplace.
Those who want to spend a quiet time communing with God and nature can retreat to a rustic mountain lodge, God's Window, set in tranquil surroundings. The lodge has no electricity, distinguishing it as an environment of complete simplicity and calm.
We offer Self Catering, Bed & Breakfast and Fully Catered accommodation.
For game hunters at Bergplaats, the farm is equipped with its own meat preparation facilities, where hunters can take a hand in processing their own kill.
Bergplaats can be accessed by 4X4 or road vehicles, quad bikes, mountain bikes and even on horseback. The estate offers various hiking and 4x4 trails and quad bike tracks. Depending on the visitors' needs, hunting, bird-watching and photographic safaris are arranged.
At night, you will simply never see a more spectacular sight than when you look up at the canopy of stars over Bergplaats. This is a place where you are humbled and reminded of the wonder and diversity of God's creation.
