Kloof&Klip

Wilderness, Western Cape

A quiet stay
between the mountains
and the sea.

A five-room Garden Route guesthouse on the lip of the kloof. Slow mornings, fynbos walks, and the kind of silence you forget exists.

About the house

Five rooms.
Two stoeps.
One very good cook.

Kloof & Klip is a working smallholding on the western edge of Wilderness, where the Outeniqua mountains drop into the sea. The original Cape Dutch farmhouse dates from 1898; we’ve added two cottages and a swimming pool, and not much else.

Breakfast is on the stoep when the weather lets us. Coffee is good. Children, dogs and slow risers are all welcome.

“We came for two nights and stayed five. The kind of place you don’t want to write about because then everyone will know.”

“Breakfast on the stoep, a long walk in the fynbos, a swim, a nap, a glass of wine at sunset. Three days of nothing and everything.”
