Surrounded by colourful farmlands, award-winning vineyards and the quaint villages of the Cape Winelands, Bartholomeus Klip is a luxurious farm house in the private Elandsberg Nature Reserve.
Experience unfiltered authenticity and hospitality in one of their luxurious farm houses, the Conservatory restaurant and all over the farm. Stay in Heron House or Wild Olive House for a self-catered experience with a private pool, perfect for families or friends. Or, stay in The Farmhouse for full-board and lounge on the veranda that winds around the main house to catch the late afternoon sun or enjoy a cooling dip in the main pool.
The Conservatory restaurant deserves a special mention; resident chef Louise Gillett’s imaginative farm-meets-fusion style guarantees dishes that excite the senses. The farm produce used in the dishes is foraged and harvested from all over Bartholomeus Klip.
Explore the private nature reserve in an open Land Rover, on foot, on a bicycle or on a kayak, and get up close and personal with the wildlife, birds, plants and flowers of the Elandsberg Nature Reserve. Visit one of Bartholemeus Klip’s conservation projects, relax in the gardens or by the pool and sample delicious cuisine at the Conservatory restaurant. Other activities include hiking, mountain biking and canoeing.
Bartholomeus Klip was started as a way of providing meaningful employment to the wives and family members of their farm workers. The guesthouse provides an environment, along with training and mentorship, for the community to explore their different talents, contribute financially to the household and use it as a platform to launch their careers.
Just over an hour from Cape Town, you will find Bartholomeus Klip amid the private 10,000 acres Elandsberg Nature Reserve in the Swartland region of the Cape Winelands, near the west coast.
