About Bobbejaanskloof

Old-style farmhouse and the sounds of nature just off South Africa's beloved Garden Route
It may be a mouthful, but Bobbejaanskloof strikes just the right note as a place to restore your calm. Set in the foothills of the Tsitsikamma Mountains, just 20 minutes from the seaside town of Plettenberg Bay, this farmhouse retreat sits on a 150-hectare private nature reserve of deep valleys, indigenous fynbos, old-growth forests and rolling plains. Sit in the shelter of the deep stoep and watch the horizon – occasionally interrupted by passing Nguni cattle – and wallow in the luxurious tranquillity in this deeply satisfying setting.

Property details

The property

The main farmhouse offers a new take on an old classic, with rambling spaces and a veranda running its length. A deep stoep shelters you completely from the elements – there's even a four-poster queen-sized bed if you fancy sleeping outside. With a tin roof, shuttered sash windows and mahogany beams, the style is rustic-contemporary. There are a cosy lounges, and a large open kitchen that has it all (including a visiting pair of friendly Anatolian dogs, if you like).

The rooms

The five bedrooms in the main house each have en-suite bathrooms and various accommodation options, from the master suite with dressing room (and single bed) to the family-sized room. While the decor in each is unique, all are decorated in a comfortably calm palette. The Nguni Cottage sits a good distance from the main house and is completely self-contained, with three large bedrooms and two baths, as well as a kitchen/dining area. Whichever suits you best, you won't be disappointed.

Activities

Surrounded by pristine and cultivated wilderness, Bobbejaanskloof combines both farmland and wilderness. Explore the indigenous fynbos and aloe garden, whose species reflect the variety of this stunning region in a neatly concentrated space. Watch the free-roaming Nguni cattle, a uniquely South African breed with incredible patterns and colours. For those keen to get active, there are 20 km of dirt and grass tracks for mountain biking and hiking into the kloof, and a 12 km running path.
