MOUNTAIN HOUSE | BERGHUIS

The mountain house is found at Kalkfontein Guest Farm, approximately 13 kilometers high up in the Nuweveld Mountains. The mountain house overlooks the Karoo, and the view stretches to the Swartberg Mountains in the south.

A variety of surprises await visitors:

  • the sunrise in the east and sunset in the west, experienced like nowhere else in South Africa.
  • the water crib is only 50 m away and Kudus, Klipspringers, Duikers and Blue Wildebeest come to quench their thirst.
  • the Black-backed jackal’s bark can be heard and even the shy Brown hyena sometimes makes its way to the water crib.

The exceptional setting of the mountain house allows for private and secluded romantic getaways or just to relax and recharge one’s batteries.

Admire the magnificent mountain krantzes from your bedroom or while relaxing in the hot tub, peering over the open Karoo plains.
