About Basterskloof

Basterskloof farm started as a dream of a well-travelled Capetonian couple wanting to create a getaway for their own family in 1950’s. A getaway where one can breathe fresh air, drink clean water and enjoy the qualities nature has to offer the way it was intended. Botrivier, Van der Stel Pas was close traveling distance to and from anywhere in the world, but it still felt like you were isolated enough to reach inner peace once you hit the gravel of the pass. It’s a safe destination where you can still forget to lock your door or leave your personal belongings outside. The farm is a family operated farm without commercial influence. The cottages where build mostly from that produced naturally off the farm. The water is fynbos infused healthy and clean for drinking with its own mineral and anti-oxidant benefits. This resource we respect at Basterskloof because without it we cannot offer sustainability of our unique fauna and flora. The farm offers about 300 hectares of exploring by offering multiple small little paths ideal for walking or biking. The dams are well maintained suitable for swimming, fishing and canoeing.
