Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse - a historic wheat and sheep farm, today combined with thousands of hectares of private nature reserve. Set against the Elandsberg Mountains with views of rolling fields and plains stretching to the horizon, the farm is located amidst West Coast Renosterveld near the small town of Hermon only 75 minutes drive from Cape Town.
The stylishly restored Victorian farmhouse offers five elegant bedrooms, each individually decorated. Herds of eland, gemsbok, blue and black wildebeest, red hartebeest, bontebok, springbok, grey rhebok and the endangered Cape mountain zebra can be viewed from an open Land Rover. Guests are guided by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic conservationist to explore the unique fynbos of the reserve where you may spot a rare geometric tortoise, hear the fish eagle call, or see a flock of blue cranes among the spring flowers. One can relax in the tranquil gardens or at the spectacular swimming pool, explore the working farm, go mountain biking, windsurfing in the dam or visit the nearby wine farms. Bartholomeus Klip is an ideal base to explore the spectacular west coast and its numerous attractions.
