Berluda is within easy reach of the world famous Cango Caves. The world heritage site of the magnificent Swartberg Pass, is just a short drive away. Meiringspoort seperates the quaint villages of De Rust and Prince Albert. For the adventurous, don't miss the opportunity to visit Die Hel (Gamkaskloof)
To enjoy the sights and sounds that our valley has to offer to the fullest, we recommend a 3-night stay. For adventure, we are within easy reach of quad-biking experiences, as well as abseiling, canoeing, horse riding and others.
Outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, 4 X 4 tracks and stargazing are some of the many things which we offer in and around Berluda!
Hot summer days (more than 300 annually) are spent in the cool waters of one of the sparkling swimming pools.
As Berluda is well known as a family-destination, we cater especially for families with small children. We offer a children's playground, baby-sitting in the evenings and a safe environment for cycling and walking for the children.
