BARtHoLoMeUs KLIP FARMHoUse 19 CoUntRy HoUse - HeRMon/RIeBeeK-KAsteeL
Bartholomeus Klip is a romantic Victorian farmhouse in a wonderful setting. Framed by a majestic mountain range towering above farmlands and fynbos, it is set in the Riebeek Valley an hour away from Cape Town, with the picturesque small towns of Riebeek-Kasteel and Tulbagh within easy reach and the Cape Winelands destinations of Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek a scenic drive away.
The charm and friendliness of our staff is renowned, and they take pride in showing you to your air-conditioned bedroom with its period-style bathroom and beautiful bed linen. Equally renowned is the cooking, which has made Bartholomeus Klip a foodie destination where the morning brunches and luxurious high teas are as much enjoyed as the gourmet dinners in the conservatory dining room.
Our 4000 hectare nature reserve is alive with herds of antelope, which can be seen on twice-daily drives in an open Land Rover, or on foot or mountain bike. You can visit the working farm, with its successful buffalo breeding project, or birdwatch at the lake-sized dam. Of course resting and relaxing in the lush gardens of the farmhouse, or by the salt-water swimming pool, is always a popular option.
The Deckhouse at the lake’s edge is an ideal venue for romantic country weddings and small, intimate conferences. Bartholomeus Klip also offers stylish self-catering at Wild Olive House, perfect for families with children or groups of friends, with its own pool and outdoor living spaces. Lifelong memories are made at this idyllic country getaway.
