Dome Glamping

Dome Glamping SA sits inside the Bergriver Resort on the R45, on the banks of the Berg River, with the Stellenbosch, Jonkershoek and Klein Drakenstein mountain ranges as a backdrop. The two geodesic domes, Dome Tent A and Dome Tent B, are set up as private camping areas with their own river frontage, so fishing and sunset views from the site are part of the stay rather than an extra.

Each dome is built around a queen bed with proper linen, an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a fully equipped undercover kitchen with a gas stove, gas kettle, fridge, crockery and cutlery. There's an undercover braai area outside, a wood-fired hot tub, secure parking, air conditioning, wifi, and tea and coffee supplies in the dome. Because the resort surrounds the domes, guests also get access to a spa and a large swimming pool.

The setting works for couples wanting river-front quiet without giving up comforts like hot/cold air conditioning or wifi. It's also close to the wine region: several well-known Stellenbosch and Paarl wine estates, restaurants and other Cape Winelands attractions are a short drive away, and the resort itself is roughly 40 minutes outside Cape Town.

Booking runs through Nightsbridge via the Dome Glamping SA website, or by phone or email directly with the property. The address is on the R45 Franschhoek Road at Bergriver Resort, between Paarl and Franschhoek.
