General Information

Bartholomeus Klip is a romantic Victorian farmstead on a large wheat and sheep farm with its own 10 000 acre private nature reserve, near to Cape Town and the famous wine lands of the Western Cape.

The Edwardian farmhouse has only four bedrooms and a suite, so you are assured of personal attention from the friendly staff, and the food is justifiably renowned. There is also a separate house suitable for self-catering families or groups of friends, with four bedrooms and its own swimming pool.

Bartholomeus Klip is the perfect place to unwind in the peace of the countryside, or adventure out to explore the wine farms and appealing little towns in the neighborhood. Six thousand acres of productive farmlands surround Bartholomeus Klip, with wheat being the major crop and oats, canola and clover pastures grown on a rotational basis. On an operation of this size there is always something interesting happening, especially in autumn when the crops are planted and early summer, when they are harvested.
