About

Nestled amid the Monstershoek mountains, Berghuis stands as a testament to the pursuit of serenity in the wake of a world marked by pandemic-induced cabin fever. Thalita and Joubert, seeking respite from the confines of city life, discovered a haven on de Vierde Liefde, a half-built gem with untapped potential.

Immersed in the heart of nature, Berghuis is discreetly positioned, offering an unparalleled sense of seclusion from neighboring residences within the reserve. The journey commenced in 2021, as the vision for a retreat was meticulously brought to life. Stripping the structure down to its essence, only the warm embrace of poplar wood interiors and the timeless allure of yellowwood windows remained.

Elegance meets simplicity in the requirements set forth – a modest dwelling surrounded by ample land, crowned by a gentle hill. The exterior reveals a touch of French sophistication with a meticulously landscaped garden, framing the residence. Stepping through the entrance, guests are welcomed by the soothing melody of a traditional fountain, setting the tone for the mental solitude that awaits.

Berghuis is a refuge designed for introspection and escape – a sanctuary for quiet contemplation amidst the cacophony of modern life. Its strategic elevation provides unrivaled vistas of the majestic Monstershoek mountains. The entertainment area, tailored for convivial gatherings, transforms with the seasons. In the warmth of summer, the inviting pool beckons, while winter calls for the embrace of cast iron stoves and the wood-fired hot tub, where the snow-capped peaks become a mesmerizing backdrop.

Experience the epitome of tranquility at Berghuis, where the fusion of architectural grace and natural splendor creates a haven for those seeking solace and rejuvenation.

Unwind, reflect, and immerse yourself in absolute tranquility at this extraordinary retreat.

We look forward to your stay.
