Bastiaanskloof

Worcerster Wine Route - South Africa

Email Bastiaanskloof Reservations: booksa@madbookings.com

Bastiaanskloof is situated in the historic and picturesque mountain pass of Bainskloof, one and a half hour’s drive from Cape Town.
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.
