Heron House

Welcome to Bartholomeus Klip, a one-of-a-kind Cape farmstay hotel set on a working farm and private nature reserve in the Riebeek Valley near Cape Town. From the pristine beauty of the Elandsberg Nature Reserve to the luxurious comfort of our farmhouses, the memorable charm of our wedding and conference venues, and the refined flavours of our restaurant, every moment is crafted to delight and inspire.

10,000 acres of untouched natural wonder, home to 150 bird species and 70 mammal, amphibia and reptile species. A private sanctuary in the heart of the Cape Floristic Region, with over 840 plant species, including endangered fynbos, renosterveld, and the rare, endemic Elandsmontana. At Elandsberg, conservation isn’t just a mission – it’s a legacy. We’re proud to be the founding breeder of the Quagga, once extinct and now running wild again, and a guardian of the critically endangered Geometric Tortoise.
