Tucked away on a fruit farm in the Tulbagh Valley, Bergsicht is a magical countryside escape that oozes comfort and rural charm. Surrounded by orchards, with soaring mountain views, the farm is home to a number of appealing self-catering cottages (each uniquely decorated, with their own personality) that ooze comfort and rustic charm. Just a short drive from Cape Town, Bergsicht has all the makings of a simple yet magical countryside escape – complete with wood-fired hot tubs, sweeping views and a sought-after sense of tranquillity.
