It's hard to believe that you're only just over an hour out of Cape Town when you get to BK. It feels like a world away. The service is of the highest standard - friendly and efficient. We were upgraded to the Orchid Suite as it was our anniversary which was great. Had a peek into the other rooms and... More

Only been here 24hours and already writing a review! Staff making us feel like kings and queens, and they so friendly, and make such good food! Our room has been delicately designed and retained all of its English heritage. Definitely worth a visit whilst in the western cape?

We stayed for two days, just about the right period of time. There were three of us and we were very grateful that the single person was not charged a supplement for her double room. The farmhouse has lots of character and atmosphere. The bedrooms comfortable, if rather small, and furnished with antiques. Bathrooms are excellent. There are three pretty... More

We stayed there for three days and had a most wonderful time. The accomodation was traditional very high quality, with exceptional service. Their attention to detail was astonishing, without being "in your face". Food was cooked to order to the highest standards, and as you would expect, the wines were first class.

We didn't know what to expect but we couldn't have imagined what a beautiful place this is, with fabulously comfortable rooms, helpful caring service, great food and all against the backdrop of majestic mountains. And don't miss out on the drives which were a highlight of our stay.

We have been visiting Bartholomeus Klip at least once a year (sometimes twice a year) for the last 9+ years. Over that extended time the staff and management have provided consistent high quality lodging with matching food, service and facilities. This lodge is highly recommended for all who seek a luxurious break with value for money.
