General
Vergelegen Guest House was built especially with keeping the guests needs in mind. Situated on the outskirts of Kakamas on a beautiful farm setting near the world famous Augrabies Falls. One overlooks the contrast of barren landscapes and lush green vine yards of the Orange river valley.
The guest house offers 16 luxury and comfortable en-suite rooms each with a personal touch. Also available is family rooms, Family Suites and Luxury Self Catering Suites and Apartments. All rooms have their own private entrances which walk out on a patio.
