Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse is only 75 minutes away from Cape Town and near to the winelands. It is a romantic Victorian farmstead on a large wheat and sheep farm with its own 10 000 acre private nature reserve.  The main homestead at Bartholomeus Klip is over a hundred years old but is filled with modern comforts, including air-conditioning for the hot days of summer.  It is surrounded by a wide shady verandah, with groups of comfortable seating overlooking the gardens, and the house itself is furnished with antiques and designer fabrics.

The scale of the house (there are only four bedrooms and an outside suite) means that you have the feeling of being a guest in a particularly charming and hospitable home. With three different sitting rooms, as well as the Deckhouse a short stroll away next to the lake, privacy is never an issue and peace and quiet are assured.

The gardens at Bartholomeus Klip flourish in the heat of the long summers.  Flowerbeds, old oak trees and extensive lawns surround the house, with loungers enticingly set out under umbrellas on the grass, and benches in secluded places perfect for absorbing the relaxed atmosphere.

A wonderfully capacious circular farm dam has been converted into an unusual salt-water swimming pool, complete with a wide wooden deck for sunbathing or enjoying sundowner drinks overlooking the nature reserve, where you may spot the quaggas grazing in the evening light as the setting sun turns the mountains pink behind them.
