Children of all ages are welcomed, and the house has its own garden, swimming pool, large shady verandah and outdoor facilities for braaing.

A culinary delight
Chef Louise Gillett loves to shake, stir and sear the fresh farm produce she forages and harvests all over Bartholomeus Klip, along with the regional delicacies she finds on her Swartland explorations and the classic cooking techniques she keeps up her sleeve. Her farm-meets-fusion-style cooking is a permanent challenge to excite the palate and senses, and to match a carefully chosen regional wine selection at our Conservatory Restaurant

A versatile venue for any occasion
For more than twenty years, we have helped groups to turn meetings, explorations and celebrations into truly unique, one-of-a-kind experiences. The historic farm and private nature reserve provide countless opportunities and locations for authentic, exclusive and memorable experiences, while our dedicated team guarantees the highest hospitality standards

So much to do ...
At just over an hour's drive from Cape Town, guests of all ages love the authentic and exclusive experience of our historic farm. Explore the private nature reserve in an open Land Rover, on foot, on a bicycle or on a kayak, relax in the gardens, at the pool or at the dam, or join us for delicious food at the Conservatory restaurant, for Sunday lunch at the Deckhouse overlooking the dam, or for one of our Smoke & Fire pop-up events.

Smoke & Fire
The concept is well-known by now: we give our hospitality team free rein to choose and dress up a location at the farm or in the nature reserve, to invite like-minded crafters of delicious goods, to light majestic fires, and to serve a ten-course eye-catching and mouth-watering food fanfare to an exclusive selection of special guests. What they have come up with so far, has been simply spectacular
