Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse

Bartholomeus Klip is a truly remarkable destination. Nestled on a vast private estate, this charming boutique hotel offers a rare combination of a working farm, a nature reserve, and captivating mountain views. With only five exquisite bedrooms, you will experience the utmost exclusivity and tranquility.

Situated just an hour away from Cape Town's international airport, Bartholomeus Klip invites you to immerse yourself in the peaceful rhythms of rural South Africa. Take a deep breath of the clean, crisp air as you bask under the star-filled night skies. It is an unexplored region that promises to whisk you away to a simpler, more serene world.

Step inside the meticulously renovated Victorian homestead and instantly feel like an esteemed guest in a beloved home. The ambiance is adorned with fine fabrics and cherished family antiques, creating an ambiance of warmth and sophistication. Sink into blissful comfort in the specially crafted cotton bedding, surrounded by luxurious toiletries and plush towelling gowns. To maintain the country essence, the absence of television sets accentuates the quietude, although two can be found in the main rooms for essential needs.

For those seeking a self-catering experience, the Wild Olive House and its adjacent cottage offer a perfect option. These separate accommodations, situated away from the main farmhouse, warmly welcome families and provide a private haven. The cottage features a cozy bedroom, a well-appointed bathroom, and a small sitting room with convenient amenities such as a mini-fridge and tea and coffee facilities. From your own private deck, witness the captivating sight of the sun painting the mountains in hues of pink as it sets in the horizon.

An absolute highlight of your stay at Bartholomeus Klip is the culinary experience. Blending the French tradition with local flavors, the exceptional cuisine will leave an indelible impression on your taste buds. Each dish is meticulously prepared, ensuring a delightful feast that tantalizes all your senses.

"Heavenly!"

14 January 2008

"Outstanding in every way. I loved the heavenly landscape, peaceful atmosphere, lush garden and majestic trees surrounding the lovingly restored romantic Victorian farmhouse. The service was impeccable; genteel & friendly. Wining & dining was a serious affair - I'm still salivating! The guided game drives were interesting & unusual - we were lucky to see rare geometric tortoises. Another highlight was the resonant calls and sight of numerous blue cranes circling us as they flew down to their overnight spot. Tips: see amazing flowers in springtime; get married at the boathouse; take timeout to reconnect with yourself & nature."

"My stay at this extraordinary collector's item of the Good Cooks and their Country Houses was incredible to say the least: from the glass of welcome bubbly on arrival to the intriguing fynbos game drives, from the Norwegian salmon to my high tea on a silver tray, from the starched white linen to the lavender on my pillow, from the refreshing swim in the crisp morning air to the thick bathrobe on my skin. I will definitely be back with my 5-year old, as the kids' cooking activities, bicycles and walks in the nature reserve will definitely be a hit with my girl!"
