Luxurious Cape Farm Stay & Hospitality


Bartholomeus Klip is located in the beautiful Riebeek Valley, an hour's drive from Cape Town. We offer 2 types of accommodation – full board or self catering – in 3 separate farm houses. The Main Farmhouse offers luxurious, full-board accommodation for a maximum of 10 people (5 rooms), including brunch, tea and dinner at the Conservatory Restaurant, and guided nature drives. Heron House and Wild Olive House offer self-catering accommodation to groups of 6 to 12 people, with the option to order food from our online pantry or to join us at the Restaurant.

Elandsberg – Where the Wild Still Whispers


10,000 acres of untouched natural wonder, home to 150 bird species and 70 mammal, amphibia and reptile species. A private sanctuary in the heart of the Cape Floristic Region, with over 840 plant species, including endangered fynbos, renosterveld, and the rare, endemic Elandsmontana. At Elandsberg, conservation isn’t just a mission – it’s a legacy. We’re proud to be the founding breeder of the Quagga, once extinct and now running wild again, and a guardian of the critically endangered Geometric Tortoise.

The gastronomic cuisine of our chef Louise Gillett plays a central role in every visit to Bartholomeus Klip: fresh, genuine and delicious food, with ingredients from the farm, from the nature reserve, or from the Swartland region. Each carefully prepared dish offers an exquisite culinary experience; a kaleidoscope of flavours, colours, smells and textures.
