Welcome to Bastiaanskloof
Bastiaanskloof is situated in the historic and picturesque mountain pass of Bainskloof, one and a half hour’s drive from Cape Town.
The 2000ha property contains over 800 species of fynbos tree, shrub and plant and a wide range of fauna, including Leopard, Klipspringer, Black Eagles, Angulate Tortoises, African Clawless Otters, Giant Musk Shrews, Spectacled Doormice, Blackbacked Jackel and Cape Horseshoe bats, amongst others.
Bastiaanskloof boasts access to spectacular mountain hikes and trails and two main perennial rivers, the Witte river and the Bastiaanskloof river. Both of these rivers have beautiful waterfalls and natural pools and are still sparsely populated with indigenous Cape Galaxias, Cape Kurper and Breede River Redfin.
The property forms part of the Boland Mountain Complex in the Cape Floristic region, one of eight areas in South Africa designated by Unesco as World Heritage sites.
Places as unique and diverse as the wilds of East Africa's Serengeti, the pyramids of Egypt, the Great Wall of China, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Baroque Cathedrals of Latin America make up Unesco's World heritage sites.
In summer the highlight of anyone’s visit is to take a dip in the cool, clear water to cleanse, invigorate and relax. The river banks are ideal places for picnics.
In the evening, we encourage you to cook up a storm, set the table outside under the stars and enjoy long drawn-out meals with plenty of wine and conversation.
In winter, evenings are spent inside playing games, snug and happy in front of the fire. Some are up before sunrise for a walk and some lie in with a book.
We welcome you to join us in discovering this unique environment, set amongst spectacular Western Cape views and silence.
