Description
Bergplaas, which is located on the northern foothills of Soetanysberg, was originally a stock post in the 1860’s on the farm Ruigtefontein and the original house was built in the mid 1950’s. In 1979/80 it was completely destroyed by fire and rebuilt in a more modern style that is still evident today. This land was acquired by SANParks in 2000, being the first acquisition for the newly established Agulhas National Park.
The guest house is situated 36km from the Cape Agulhas Lighthouse off the Struisbaai / Elim road. The access road is a gravel road of approximately 26 kilometers and even though it is not necessary to have a 4×4, a high clearance vehicle is recommended, especially in the wet season (June to August). It is advisable to contact the park prior to booking to confirm road conditions. Travelling time from the reception office to the farmstead is approximately one hour.
