BARTHOLOMEUS KLIP FARMHOUSE

Here pousse (herbe grass) is a very rare variety of fynbos where the geometric turtle is hidden. The property, in memory of the massacre of the Barthélémy, belongs to the Parker family. Until the 1950 s, we were still hunting the leopard and lynx, animals that sometimes threatened the occupants of the farm. The local chronicle keeps track of the sad end of the first owner of the premises, the Dutch Frantz Joosten van der Lubstadt. A sinister day of 1705, when he returned cattle terrorized by a leopard, was massacred by two workers, with the intense encouragement… of his own wife. The 25-year-old will be charged with witchcraft, sentenced to death and burned in public in Cape Town. Surrounded by a reserve of more than 6 000 hectares, with antelopes and zebras, you will live at the rhythm of a magnificent nature. Here a small lake to make canoeing; there are all-terrain bicycles; and the divine swimming pool, in its raised reservoir, in front of the mountain. It is also an agricultural farm and a activité sheep rearing, to visit with a nice Labrador. For rooms, prefer those that give directly onto the veranda, such as Disa or Agapanthus.
