The Victorian Farmhouse
There are four double rooms with bathrooms in the main Victorian farmhouse and one separate suite outside, with its own secluded verandah. Finishes everywhere are luxurious, and authentically reminiscent of olden-days charm. There is also additional accommodation in Wild Olive House and Heron House sleeping up to 30 guests .

The Deckhouse
The BK Deckhouse was built with the specific purpose of hosting celebrations for medium sized groups of guests. While the two-story deckhouse interior has an intimate and informal clubhouse kind of atmosphere, the balcony and stoep overlook the majestic Elandskloof Mountains, Elandsberg Nature Reserve and our dam – the perfect place to view sunsets. Food and drinks can be served from our deckhouse kitchen inside or outside the deckhouse, or at the lawn, where a big fire can be made in true African style.

The Conservatory Restaurant
The BK Restaurant is where our celebrated and published resident chef Louise Gillett pulls the strings. Louise prides herself on a fusion of traditional South African farm-style recipes with the latest techniques and trends, always with fresh and locally sourced produce.

The Elandsberg Nature Reserve
The 10,000 acre Elandsberg Nature Reserve is a protected nature conservation area, boasting free roaming herds of zebra, quagga, eland, wildebees and an abundance of flowers and birds. We can organise private functions in the reserve.

The Gardens
The sprawling lawns, manicured plants and shady trees of the BK Gardens offer a true, authentic farm setting for your wedding. There is enough space to set up a marquee, or kick off your shoes, gather around a long table and create unforgettable memories while chatting, eating and dancing the night away.

Wheat, Almonds and Sheep Farm
The inhabitants of the working farm at which BK is located, including sheep, buffalo, tortoise and geese, never shy away from a great photo opportunity with the bride and groom. The old buildings and historic walls offer more great authentic locations to make your special moments all the more memorable.

… or choose any location
In fact, we’re very happy to turn any location at the farm or in the nature reserve into a special destination for your celebration.
