Vêrgenoeg lies at the foot of Witteberge between Prince Albert and Laingsburg and offers two fully-equipped, self-catering chalets with expansive views from every window and the covered verandah. Each was built with a couple in mind or for a single person who might be looking for time alone.
Ideal as a honeymoon venue, the farm also allow time-out in this busy world for couples to re-discover their ‘oneness’ and re-connect as a team.
Whilst close enough for two pairs of friends to enjoy their visit together, the chalets are far enough apart to allow for complete privacy.

Vêrgenoeg offers so much: natural beauty, freedom to roam, complete peace, an ideal spot from which to view the stars and it is a photographer’s dream with wide open spaces and the incredible light of the Karoo.
We have identified 125 species of birds, a variety of buck, tortoises, hares and other small mammals on the farm. You can hear the jackal call in the night, kudu’s sometimes come to graze near the chalets in the evenings and early mornings and a grey mongoose often pops by to see who is visiting. The farm roads provide easy walking and mountain bike trails and there is a clearly marked hiking trail across one of the hills, offering a magnificent 360 degree view, ideal for sunrise and sunset photos, and which has already proved to be an ideal site for marriage proposals!
Each chalet has a gas fridge, full stove and all crockery and cutlery.
In Winter the ceramic fireplace warms the chalet and you’ll spend the evenings dreaming as you gaze into the flames. The first batch of firewood is provided and more can be bought on the farm.
Towels and linen for the queen-sized beds are provided, please bring your own swimming towels.
Charcoal and firelighters are supplied for the braai.
Remember to bring your swimming costumes and sun cream to enjoy the swimming pool in Summer - the evening berg wind cools everything down each day.
For bookings please contact Sprankeltjie on
vergenoeg@mfbt.co.za or call 083 564 5510.
Please enquire whether the guided drive around the farm is available (at an extra charge).
Since there are so many small creatures living around the chalets we regret that we cannot accommodate pets.
The gravel roads to Vêrgenoeg are well-maintained and even small vehicles can easily make their way here. GPS co-ordinates for all the access roads can be provided.

Op Vêrgenoeg tussen Prins Albert en Laingsburg is daar twee selfsorgkothuise geleë aan die voet van die Witteberge. Die kothuise is gebou spesifiek met paartjies ingedagte en vir ‘n enkel persoon wie ‘n behoefte het om alleen te wees. In vandag se gejaagde lewe het paartjies kwaliteit tyd nodig om weer “een” te word en weer “saam” as ‘n span te funksioneer. Die kothuise is nie té ver van mekaar af nie dus kan 2paartjies wat vriende is, maklik saam kuier maar ook alleentyd hê. Dis ook ideal om soos ander jou wittebrood hier te begin of af te sluit.
Vêrgenoeg bied soveel: skoonlig, vryheid, rus en vrede en dis die beste plek om sterre te kyk en die wydheid van die karoo op ‘n foto vas te lê. Daar is 125 voëlsoorte opgeteken en ‘n klomp boksoorte, trapsuutjie as jy fyn kyk, skilpaaie en natuurlik kan jy die jakkalsgeroep in die nag hoor. Die Koedoes mag dalk in die aand of vroeë oggend om die kothuis kom kos soek en die Grysmuishond sal dalk in die dag kom kyk wie het kom kuier. Die plaaspaaie kan as staproetes en bergfietsroetes gebruik word. Daar is ‘n gemerkte staproete op ‘n koppie waar jy ‘n uitsonderlike 360grade uitsig het – ideal vir besonderse sonop of sononder foto’s, vir party gaste was dit al die perfekte plek om verloof te raak.
Die kothuisse het ‘n gasyskas en volledige gasstoof. Die koninging-grootte bedens se linne en handdoeke word voorsien, bring net jou eie swemhanddoek saam. Houtskool en Blits word voorsien vir die braai geriewe. Bring ‘n hoed, verkyker, sonskerm en jou swembroek in die somer en geniet die swembad en die bergwind sal vir die res sorg. Vir die winter is daar ‘n kaggel waarvan die 1ste hout voorsien word en vir lank na die vlamme staar en droom kan jy ekstra hout op die plaas koop.
Vir besprekings kontak Sprankeltjie by vergenoeg@mfbt.co.za of by 083 564 5510 Sou jy belangstel vra uit of die begeleide-sirkelroete op die plaas beskikbaar is (teen ‘n addisionele koste). Met al die klein diertjies wat so naby die kothuise kom kan ons ongelukkig nie troeteldiere toelaat nie. Die grondpaaie na Vêrgenoeg is maklik toeganklink met klein motortjies die GPS verwyssings vir al die afdraai paaie kan voorsien word. Vêrgenoeg kothuise: 33°14’36.8”S , 21°27’41.4”E
