Bakgat Blyplek

Christiaan and Cornel Bekker, your hosts, invite you to enjoy a "Bakgat" accommodation experience in our newly developed self-catering units (2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms). Luxury and comfort are the standards! We have a solar system for times of loadshedding. During those times the aircons will not be available, only Wi-Fi, lights and TV. We have gas geysers and therefore hot water is available throughout. There are strong fans in the rooms. We offer free Wi-Fi, percale linen on the beds, double glass on all the windows for soundproofing, DStv (Full bouquet with Explora), security gates and beams with armed response, braai/BBQ facilities, and 3 restaurants (Spur, Wimpy, and Nieuveld Restaurant) within a 150m radius. We specialize in Karoo hospitality.

Area Info

Beaufort West is about 470km from Cape Town on the N1 national road. It is one of the few towns that the N1 actually runs through, so it's not unusual to see huge trucks thundering down the main street. Beaufort West has an airport located about 10 km's out of town.

The annual rainfall in Beaufort West is more than 150mm, which gives it the name of the "Oasis Town" of the Karoo. There is also an Oasis Hotel, situated on Main Street. Beaufort West is located on the banks of the intermittently flowing Gamka River and at the foot of the Nuweveld Mountains.
