Once again Berg River ticked all the boxes! - Moira Bassingthwaigthe
Berg River never fails to tick all the boxes - we have never been disappointed on any of our visits - something to suit everyone! - Moira Bassingthwaigthe
Awesome hike. A bit worried on one section of the dark blue trail around the dam, as there is a lot of erosion of the shore and even a section where the path had collapsed, with a sheer drop down. I think some people need to inspect that section. It is on the western shoreline. That being said, i will be back. It was amazing - Flip Theunissen
It was a really great walk. Enjoyed discovering hiking trails in Franschoek. Better signage on trails would be great though. - Vilien-Miri Coetzee
