Bergvliet is a suburb of Cape Town, South Africa.  Bergvliet means “small mountain stream” in Afrikaans

Greater Bergvliet, includes Meadowridge, Kreupelbosch and is home to three fine schools:
Bergvliet High School,
Bergvliet Primary School, and
Sweet Valley Primary School.
All three of these schools were built in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Bergvliet was formerly a large farm owned by Simon van der Stel.
The original farmhouse of Cape Dutch design still stands on a large property on the Western border of Bergvliet.
The Bergvliet Farm, as it is known, is a very beautiful place with a small natural pond which is also a tiny bird sanctuary.
The farm is also a favorite dog walking and running location.
The original farm was made into a residential suburb for returning South African servicemen from World War II.

Next door to Bergvliet, Meadowridge in a way borrows a little from all its neighbouring suburbs, but has developed a personality of its own. Meadowridge is a leafy suburb with plenty of open spaces and parks and several great views of the Constantiaberg Mountains.
