Overview & Comments

Folklore has it that early in the 18 th century, a Stilbaai farmer was traveling to the market with his ox-wagon – loaded with butter vats. In a valley 6km from Stilbaai the wagon tipped over and butter spilled everywhere. From that mishap the name Botterkloof! In 1994 Gert and Elsa Kruger bought the farm Botterkloof and started farming with ostriches, sheep, beef and porkers.

They setup a meat factory with 5 retail outlets. The business was sold in 2004 and the farm buildings converted to a Conference Centre and different types of accommodation. The farm consists of 240 hectares of which 30 hectares are pastures. The rest is many veld with 6 types of proteas and an abundance of fynbos. There are many walkways with game and large variety of wild birds and waterfowl.
