| Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse is unique. There are only five bedrooms in this small hotel, the original homestead on a large private estate which is both a working wheat and sheep farm and a nature reserve with a spectacular mountain backdrop. Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse, in this unexplored region only an hour by car from Cape Town's international airport, you can feel part of the peaceful life of rural South Africa and its clean crisp air and star-filled night skies. Bartholomeus Klip's 10 000 acre fynbos nature reserve is part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, the world's smallest, but the richest in species for its size. Special features: * Maximum of ten guests at a time * Exceptional food and wine * 16 000 acre private estate * Game drives - over 500 head of game * Fynbos nature reserve * Farming activities * Salt-water swimming pool * Windsurfing, boating and canoeing on the huge dam * Walking and hiking in the reserve * Mountain biking * Conservation projects * Birdwatching * Close to Cape Town and the winelands A stay at Bartholomeus Klip is a wonderful opportunity for the energetic, who can: * walk or hike in the reserve * ride mountain bikes through the wheatfields * go windsurfing, birdwatching or boating on the dam * inspect the farming operations As well as everything happening at Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse itself (including game drives twice daily through the reserve), there are many attractions in the neighbourhood (see below): get the kitchen to make you a picnic, and put a bit of romance in your day. For the more laid-back, there are loungers in the extensive gardens, at the edge of the dam or on the deck of the salt water swimming pool: read, relax, or even fall asleep. The food - in the French tradition but with a local flavour - is one of the highlights of a stay at Bartholomeus Klip. Dishes such as salmon trout layered with fresh coriander and ginger and wrapped in phyllo pastry, with a lemon beurre blanc, and chocolate truffle cake may be on the menu. Bread, scones, cakes and pastries are baked fresh every day, while milk, cream and butter come from the dairy and lavish bouquets of herbs from the garden. Tea is a serious affair: scones with thick farm cream and home-made preserves, pecan meringues, apple tarts, prune and ricotta cheesecake, savoury bruschettas - the selection changes daily. Brunch at the boathouse, with a bountifully laden table. Fill your plate and take it outside to the deck overlooking the dam, then drink in the view of the mountains opposite with your coffee. Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse is surrounded by the famous winelands of the Western Cape, so the wine list reflects the achievements of our neighbours. We will be delighted to discuss your choice with you and give you our recommendations. |
